OT: Futurama, Bender is a filmwaster!
« on: July 06, 2012, 12:17:53 AM »
Just watched the latest episode (season 7 episode 4) of the Futurama cartoon which take place 1000 years in the future. The robot character Bender is apparently a film photographer. He has a built-in tripod (as he has a third leg ;D). Other characters question why are you using film? Digital cameras have been available for over 1000 years. Where do you even get processing? Bender unhinges his latch and has his own darkroom to make prints. Benders says, "No digital camera can capture the quality, warmth and grain of good old film." but the Professor character claim this is silly your eyes are based on digital sensors! and there is no way you can tell the difference. ;D

I've always liked Bender- not just for his 'bite my shiny metal *ss' catchphrase...

Film is the vinyl record of photography.

The gang is doomed... needs a photo to save them.

Professor: Everybody knows when you delete a photo it's gone forever.
Bender: Not with film! I still have the negative! I'll just make another print.
(the gang is dying)
Bender: Needs more contrast!
(gang dead)
Bender: this one is good, but I can still do better!
bender makes a perfect photo and saves the gang.

haha this is great, I need to see this episode. I went off futurama a long time ago but with this kind of support for the film photography, I may be forced to give it another chance!

Oh, I get it... finally?

Bender see's the film with his digital sensors eyes. and they look great. subject->film photo->digital eye. But when he see's a digital image captured with a... digital camera, and has to recapture the same image with his digital sensor eyes. not so good. subject->digital photo->digital eye.
