I enjoyed Dolby Cinema over IMAX 70mm
I’m likely the odd one out here, but I recently went to watch The Odyssey in both Dolby Cinema and IMAX 70mm formats and found that I enjoyed Dolby Cinema quite a bit more. I think I see the appeal of IMAX 70mm, but the Dolby Cinema picture quality and seat comfort (including reclining seat back with footrests) are just too compelling for me. I may have also had unrealistic expectations for 70mm given how high demand tickets are and how folks and Nolan have really lauded IMAX. In terms of sound, I don’t have a strong preference there.
I suspect “full immersion” is the draw for 70mm, but I love sitting one row up from the ground level for Dolby Cinema and find that incredibly immersive and comfortable.
No shade on those who prefer 70mm or other formats, and this is just one person’s opinion.
Clueless does a great job of showing and not telling
Just finished my rewatch of Clueless!
Getting to those last 30 minutes made me realize how we've lost the art of showing and not telling. When Cher and her dad are talking about a 'boy who doesn't like me,' he talks about how she's the only one who cares for everyone around the house. I love this because we actually see this happen throughout the movie. She makes sure her dad is eating healthy, calls his doctor, and gets the lawyers to take out. They do this well with a few other situations throughout the movie, and it's truly a lost art. Nowadays, movies will flat-out say, 'You're such a good person though!' without showing us this character is a good person, and it drives me NUTS.
I love Clueless, and my rewatch just proved it. Cher's character is so funny, and her relationship to the people around her is great. I love that she does good things for people to benefit her, but then in the end she becomes a better person, doing good for the sake of doing good. Just love this film and had to share!
