Author Topic: Kodak Openly Admits that Film is Fuzzy and Impaired! Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-26-2005 07:52 PM                        In the latest issue of HDTV Orgasm, Kodak ran the following ad: That's great and all, until I noticed one of Kodak's main points in the ad: Last time I had my eyes checked, I had 20/90 vision. And that was my good eye! My other eye (which is the dominant one) cannot discern the color green, even though green takes up twice as much bandwidth as red and blue. It also has worse than 20/150 vision and neither eye can be corrected by glasses or surgery. If film sees the way I do, it must be awful!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 07-26-2005 07:56 PM                        Just wonderful!  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-26-2005 08:11 PM                     I'd like to feel the model in the ad, that's for sure.  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 07-26-2005 08:38 PM                 Hello there Joe, excellent keep the information come in “Film is natural”, that is what the chief projectionist told me16 years ago and still remember, “in this industry you have to think like a projectionist…”  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Have you tried upgrading?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Just thought I'd chime in with something completely irrelevant.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-27-2005 12:04 AM                        That's nice but what font does it use?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Sometimes I like to piss off folks and set things in Helvetica on purpose -or even go one better with Helvetica Neue. If I want to be an absolute jerk, I'll set the type in Arial! Arial! He said Arial! AIIEEEE!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-27-2005 12:41 AM                     Bobby, next time try Ariel with italics!!!  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-27-2005 02:44 AM                         |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-27-2005 03:18 AM                     Those pics must've been taken with a digital camera, eh?  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-27-2005 03:24 AM                        No, genuine Kodak film!

Where's the picture of the pavement with a pool of my vomit on it?  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-28-2005 12:21 AM                        Here ya go Bobby, The Endless Blurry Saturday Night Drunk In New Orleans: http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=fp4dd6b.n1gl4lv&x=0&y=-wyddyj Click on the tiny "Create An Account Later" link to get in without being harvested for marketing info.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

But out of 153 slides, I still didn't see any photos of vomit-splattered pavement. Maybe I wasn't looking closely enough.  |  IP: Logged
