TF’S CINEMATIC AGONY UNCLE HAS YOUR BACK.
DEAR WINGMAN
In an age where all movies are going digital and everything’s coming out in mega HD, why do I have the urge to dig out some old VHS tapes? Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I’m thinking of rebuilding the collection I got rid of years ago. I remember watching The Blair Witch Project on an old CRT TV and it gave me a sense of dread I just don’t get from today’s ultra-clear movies. Sometimes a bit of blur can be good. Am I the only one thinking this?

WINGMAN SAYS...
Better a bit of blur than the dreaded motion smoothing, in Wingy’s opinion; that’d make the final scene in Blair Witch look as menacing as an episode of Grand Designs. Mind you, some things are best left unblurred: when it came to last month’s VHS feature, we luckily ditched the idea of starting it in the middle, with increasing lines of static between each fuzzy paragraph that eventually gave way to an entirely different feature from 2004.
