    I saw his 2014 Magi short film at the Seattle Cinerama. They brought in a new (at the time) laser projector just for the event. Was by far the best 3D HFR experience I've ever seen. It's unfortunate this process hasn't been used by other directors.

    Good post... Not "disagreeing" with any of the "English Rose" selections, but does the "Queen of Gainsborough Melodramas" Margaret Lockwood with her dark "Gypsy" looks and Vixen screen persona truly qualify her...? Definitely agree Deborah Kerr (the Scottish-born) belongs on in the list. Would have included the elegantly cool Madeleine Carroll, the first English Rose of the Talkie Era and the exquisite Valerie Hobson (though Irish-born) among them. Also the plain-Jane beauty of Anna Neagle definitely should have been here.

    A few years ago my daughter saw an old TV showing of the "The Wicked Lady" and thought it brilliant ! Margaret Lockwood once seen with her dark hair, red lips and beauty spot, is not easily forgotten, a wonderful villainess; Deborah Kerr was simply stunning and a fine actress capable of both comedy and drama; Virginia McKenna was not Deborah`s equal as an actress but in sheer looks and style perhaps the quintessential english rose.

    Trumbull came at that 60fps frame rate through scientific process but missed the non-scientific appeal of 24fps, which endures even now, in an era when any fps is possible at little expense. His emphasis on clinical detail in every frame is his Achilles (and Cameron's and Jackson's) Achilles heel. Removing motion blur follows an arbitrary perfectionist impulse akin to an aging woman's yen for Botox. All that said, it was very cool to see him remain the same youthful visionary he was in the 60's and 70's up to the digital era.

    Diana Vreeland (the famed fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar and Vogue) on Vivien Leigh: "Only England could have produced her. She was the perfect English rose. When the door opened and she was there, she was so terribly good-looking. She had such an exquisite unreality about her." And David Niven: "The most beautiful woman I ever saw outside an art gallery."

    When watching the hobbit at 48 fps and 3d it was the first time that a movie looked "real" to me, instead of like sequential still images. But it came with a major draw back, the cinematic techniques made it super obvious it was shot as a sound stage and wasn't real. For instance, arranging the hobbits in a triangle to fill the frame made it look like they were standing in a triangle, instead of just filling my vision. cuts into close shots of some guy putting something in his pocket and back out wide were very disorienting because my eyes can't do that in real life. It felt real, like I was seeing the actors physically in front of me on a live stage, but the cinematic techniques betrayed the realism. A bunch of people complain and said the frame rate or 3d was to blame, but it wasn't. the problem was they were using techniques from sequential still-flat-image art in their use of live 3d art, and it doesn't translate. directors need an entire new language of cinematic techniques to make the realism of 48fps+ and 3d feel right to consumers. Maybe with inventions like apple vision pro and meta quest we'll get a new generation of directors developing content more suitable to this level of realism.
