Hmm. I thought our local cinemas with digital setup use 1080p projectors (at least the smaller screen one). Analog projection is obviously higher (with a clean first generation copy of the film seen early in the life of the film material).

As someone already mentioned, movie theaters just don't take care of our clean a lot of their analog projectors. Analog film has phenomenally good resolution (at least in theory), but there are plenty of other things that make it worse almost every time. Every theater with digital projectors I have been to looks miles better than any analog theater I have been to (maybe a few exceptions at a university or something who maintains their equipment and has high quality prints).
Digital is much better with fast motion stuff as well. You don't get the jerkiness you do with analog film.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
