Nov. 1st, 2015 06:50 amMom dropped me off at Andrew's while running some errands yesterday. While awaiting my haircut, I noticed the TV set to ABC Family (becoming Freedom come Jaunary), which was airing Batman Returns. Told Mom just moments after meeting her back in the car, and mentioned in particular that it looks barely aged at all despite having been released in 1992 (something I had also commented on about Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985) when Dad decided to watch that just the other morning). Mom asked me if I ever google why some films still maintain quality despite their age while others wear out. Told her that I learned a few months ago that even some classic movies can be restored to present-day quality (via high-definition Blu-Ray), while newer ones that were shot in a digital format would probably need to be restored manually.

Watched some footage of BR's SNES game adaptation shortly after we got home, just for a comparison. While the music in levels do a reasonably good job emulating the instruments from the actual film, that in the cutscenes are a bit watered down.
Even after having written these two posts, this is something I continue to wonder about.

As for trick-or-treaters last night, we only got two batches. The second lot, though, was big enough that I used up an entire bag of York's peppermint patties that we had bought at Target. We still have a container of some additional candy that Uncle Robby had given Mom during a visit she paid him last week, though, and along with a still half-full bag of Hershey's cookies 'n' creme drops and some meringues left over that Mom made recently, it should be a while still before Mom or I need to bake or buy something.
