Steven Spielberg walks the Cannes red carpet for the first time after 22 years for the occasion of the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And guess what! He considers digital cinema inevitable. Really? Here is what he said on digital or not digital:

“The film is being released digitally on a lot of screens, about 300. Making a film digitally and releasing a film in the same digital process gives a beautiful image. It creates an extraordinarily clean, sharp image, but making a film on celluloid - as I’d like to do with all of my pictures –then transferring, releasing it, and projecting it digitally is a very inferior image. So the decision to go out to a vast number of motion picture theatres was a simple decision for me to make. But digital cinema is inevitable, it’s right around the corner and even someday I will have to convert, but right now I love film.”

So since Spielberg told us earth shaking stuff that we didn’t know, I take the opportunity to confidentially reveal to all of you that the Internet is going to get faster all the time, non-flat screens are going to disappear and green energy is the future. OK? Happy now?
