It’s nice to see some appreciation for our greatest living film critic. I just watched this video essay again the other day, for the third time. Gallagher’s criticism has enriched my appreciation of cinema in a way that very few critical works ever have. I’m especially grateful for his writing on Abel Ferrara, John Milius, and Raoul Walsh.
I saw The Birds digitally projected on Wednesday, and it looked horrible. At first I sat in the front like I usually do but I had to move towards the middle because there was no detail in the image. If I hadn’t snuck into Resident Evil earlier, I would’ve asked for my money back. The soft focus on Tippi Hedren looked pretty terrible.
I’ve seen other digital projections at the same theater (Chinatown, The Searchers, Dr. Zhivago) and they’ve all looked very good. However, they weren’t sponsored by TCM. This was.
