The Wild Bunch

Post by Mike D. »

I realize that this excellent film has been talked about many times in this forum, but I watched it a new digitized and high definition version this afternoon. You can really see everything in a new light, as it were. :D

I'm not sure the digitizing and cleaning up is a good thing. For example, I grew up watching many of John Wayne's early "B" movies, with all the speckles and splotches in the film. I now own several compilations than include many of these movies. All nicely digitized and cleaned up. Something is just missing.

It's like listening to Hard Days Night on a vinyl record and then after it's been "remastered" on a CD. It just seems souless and sterile on the CD. But, I'm getting old, so what the heck do I know.

I recall seeing parts of the movie in the back seat of a '64 T-Bird in a drive-in when it first came out.

Loads of room in that T-Bird back seat. :)
Corvair, not so much.
'66 Vette, no chance.
Been in all three....

And, the kids don't need to know. :D

When I was young we didn't have T-birds or vettes.Try the back area of a VW beetle with the rear seat folded.As previously posted...ah to be young and limber again.
