OK. Somebody finally did Buffy the Vampire in HD. The article tells you how the did it badly and just plain wrong. This blog is about why it matters and why you should care even if you don't care about Buffy the Vampire the Slayer or TV or Hollywood for that matter.
I finally get it. The ass monkey's who run Hollycrap aren't going to Hell...Hollycrap IS Hell and the worthless, soulless shitbags who do these things are, in fact, demons from Hell.
I dug to the very bottom of, I, in fact, dug underneath the bottom of the urban dictionary and there just is no word vile and offensive enough to tell you how much I despise the soul crushing arrogance of the subhumans who assume they always know better than the artists who actually create what is good and decent in our culture. They assume the right to monkey with everything because everything is better with their fingerprints all over it. These people poison our world and yeah, it really does matter. There is no Hell hot enough or eternity of suffering long enough for these people. No matter how much I loathe them they always find some new atrocity that causes me to hate them even more.
To understand, you need to read the article. You can’t just show the show in HD. It doesn’t exist in HD it wasn't shot that way. In order to show it in HD, it has to be remastered from the original film negative. When they did that they did NOT recreate what was shown in HD they changed things. Significantly and badly.
I think updating anything to HD, if possible, is a fine idea but, only if it’s done with respect for the source material and the people, who originally made it, regardless of what’s being updated.
I have always insisted that movies should be shown in widescreen because that’s the way ALL movies are shot. There hasn’t been a movie shaped like TV used to be since the days of Casablanca. But reshaping a TV show to look like a modern TV or a movie is just as disrespectful of original material as destroying the framing of a movie was to fit an old television.
It’s about the obsession with making everything look shiny and new. Which in and of itself is fine. I love classic cars that look showroom new, but it has to be done with respect for the original. Buffy the Vampire has some of the finest writing and storytelling ever shown on Television but if you update it visually, which again would be great, it needs to be done with respect, not a desire to milk the fans for more money. This is abusive. It’s abusive to the original creators and to the fans who know enough to care and I’m sure that they have the LEGAL right to do it because of the foul way these people do business, but it doesn’t mean they also have a moral or ethical right do it.
This is about what kind of world we want to live in. It’s just as important as refugees and homeless people and hungry people, but it doesn’t get the same attention. It’s ALL about respecting other human beings and, in this case, the work they do. It’s about how we think of and treat other people and it matters and far too many people are doing it wrong and too many other people are shrugging and not caring. It isn’t Hitler killing millions of Jews, but the only reason Hitler and all the other evil scum like him get to the point they can kill people is because so many people turn the other cheek when it’s something they think isn’t important enough. You don’t save the Jews Hitler killed with a time machine and killing Hitler as a child, but you can save the next batch by demanding that people respect other people when it is small things and it can still make a difference. And they AREN’T two different things, they’re the head and tail or the same snake and if we want to stop the next atrocity or the one after that or the one after that we have to care at the beginning when we can do something before the killing and the wars because that is where ideas like this lead.
