Manos in Hi-Def
No, seriously. Someone is rEmAsTErINg (pun very much intended) the infamous z-grade movie that almost broke Joel and the bots Manos, the Hands of Fate, after miraculously finding the original workprint in an ebay auction of 16mm films.
Why? Well, no one can deny that thanks to MST3K, the film is certainly well-known to cinema buffs, if only as an example of just how hard it is to make a film when you don't know what you're doing, and as the restorer states, even a film as bad as Manos deserves to be seen in the best presentation format available.
As an aside, I recently saw Star Wars in HD on my mother-in-law's big screen LED set. Does HD make everything look like it was filmed like an old Doctor Who episode?
