Watched God's Rain - I think the digitization was remarkable, especially the sound. You really have always been interested in history, havent' you? Actually, the 'quality' of the film matches the time period perfectly! It's as if you planned it - would a digitized version of Charlie Chaplin (moving smooth and precision-like) look as good as the original? I don't think so. Did you guys actually pluck and truss, etc., the chicken and eat it? The last scene where he passes his horse to the young man is such an ancient, recurring theme through time; it reminds me of that album cover with Muddy Waters and Michael Bloomfield, "Fathers and Sons" - come to think of if, the music isn't inappropriate either

I just finished watching it all the way through. It's really well done. And it is held up well since the 70s! Even though the colour is degraded, I think it adds to the feel of it. Besides I was used to black-and-white even up until the early 90s. I'm watching reruns of the Virginian at the moment, so it kind of reminded me of that a bit.

The only thing that threw me off was at the end his raincoat looked like plastic (even though it probably wasn't) and it took me out of it for that moment. Otherwise, well done!
