I'm the kind of guy who could give a fuck less about movies. And as such I generally only watch movies when my dad rents some new ones from Blockbuster. But anyway, today I'm watching tv, and I turn to a movie network, watch a couple minutes of it and think to myself "Oh this looks old, must be from the early 80s." I click Info and its from like 1998. What's up with AT?

Some movies ae intentionally shot so that they look old, others are just old.

I think I know what geg's referring to: I caught an episode of 24 from season two on A&E the other day and the picture looked very grainy.

Just chipping in.

Of course they can. Whip out your tape of the original VHS release of Star Wars. Then pop in the cleaned up '97 special edition VHS tape. Proof is in the pudding.

Your diction and overall grammar did not indicate the subtle use of sarcasm you claim it did with your mocking arrow.

No, they normally take trig or geometry in 7th or 8th grade.
