Oh, and obligatory XKCD.
Didn't stab 35 mm, as I, as an amateur photographer and owner of a nice figure invested in equipment have the correct amount of respect for film and full frame sensors.

What I was bashing is 70 years old celluloid, already re-projected, through age-old optics, and that now has the resolution of a photograph printed on paper. Also, the "film effect" they use to disguise the errors degrade the thing even more. We call it Gauss noise here.

One should not sell this abomination as "Full HD 1080p". What they should sell it as is "HD remastered" or "Upscaled" whatever.

On the same note, I believe that 99% of BDs today in commercial circulations should not have the full HD badge. Damn you megapixel misconception, unless each pixel contains information it's not full HD. Right now, only a few movies are true HD. Barring thise, you only get the real deal from animation encoded in a lot of gigs and directly-rendered PC games.

End rant.
