It may be true that all-digital film-making and projection can produce a better image – free of wear and tear – and could make distribution more efficient – no more reel shortages etc – but as Alex Cox, a British independent director points out there are some risks involved for the public.
1) “If cinema owners do get rid of 35mm, what becomes of all the 35mm prints? And what happens to the work of third-world, or independent, filmmakers who prefer film on economic or aesthetic grounds?”
2) Digital projection may end up giving the studios/distributors more control over cinemas. If you have a big screen and a small screen you can now switch a dog of a film into the small screen. In future the studio’s software may not allow you to. Similarly software-based “film” may be easier for studios to forcibly “regionalise” as they have done with DVDs.
Certainly something to think about (though I admit having seen the Attack of the Clones with digital projection I was impressed by the quality).in show breasts moviesebony girls free movies clipsfree analingus moviesfree ass licking moviesporn ebony movies freebareback movies free gayhairy free pussy moviesmovies sex free hentaiincest movie freeporn japanese free movies
I disagree strongly with your view.
Just take a look at the music industry to see why.
At first, digital music production was the province of high end studios and used for projects that could justify the investment. Now, every Tom, Dick and Harry can produce piles of crap hip-hop and trance on their PC whilst people everywhere are predicting the imminent death of the music industry as we know it.
The same will happen to film/video. It already has with the Apple iMovie and iDVD software packages. These aren’t the same quality as high end digital film packages and cameras are yet to be affordable but just give it time.
By going digital, George Lucas is unwittingly opening up the film world to the same abuse as the music world has been getting for the last 10 years or so.

I have to agree. Going digital is opening up the film world to the same abuse as the music world. But it was going to happen sooner or later no matter what.
