Elbowing his way through Tebow fans, and shoppers

Take heed, all those who've bought Tim Tebow jerseys — he'll be on the Broncos' bench by Black Friday 2012,Belstaff and probably a lot sooner than that.
Did you know Sears had a great sale beginning at 4 a.m.? They did.

Here I'm thinking about those poor losers in San Diego who are Chargers fans,Belstaff outlet and I have a daughter dressed in a Tim Tebow jersey sitting in Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday.

"Best time ever," she texts,Belstaff coat and she's an accountant so it's understandable.

OK, so I know at this point she's willing to settle for any old stiff as a husband,Belstaff jacket but come on, not her team's starting quarterback.

She knows quarterbacks. She began going to Broncos training camp with me at age 7,Belstaff jackets watching John Elway throw darts.

She saw the best. Yet now she giggles with delight every time Tebow takes the field. Maybe I have it all wrong and she has a thing for the Broncos' punter, knowing he will surely make an appearance if Tebow is the quarterback.

I can understand a Broncos fan wearing a jersey with "defense" spelled across the front and back. If Denver's defense doesn't play as if it knows its offense can't score, the Broncos are trailing, it's Tebow Time, all right, and Denver gets pulverized.

A year from now the guy will be on the bench, and the Chargers will surely be disappointing everyone again.

Here I am thinking it's true what they say, though: No matter how bad a city has it when it comes to the NFL, there's always someone worse off because the Goofs still own the Chargers.

The headline atop a San Diego newspaper column Tuesday written by old-timer Nick Canepa read: "Turner will go, but Chargers should keep GM." They sure are slow to grasp things in San Diego, aren't they?

Turner was the wrong choice from the beginning, yet the local columnist wants the guy who hired Turner and fired 14-2 Marty Schottenheimer to stay.

I'll betcha Dan Guerrero wouldn't be opposed to San Diego and Los Angeles swapping columnists. I have a better suggestion: Why not send Guerrero to work for the Goofs?

Seems like the perfect fit.

WHEN UCLA called a news conference Monday, I thought it was to fire the guy who made the decision to dress the Bruins in clown suits against USC.

Guerrero said that wasn't the case, because he's the one who endorsed the white-out.

Later, when I asked if the team will wear those white uniforms again, he said, "Yes, they will."

Why would any team in college football these days want to look like Penn State?

Panelists Mull Film Quality at Digital Media Summit

LOS ANGELES — Panelists at Variety's Film Technology Summit Nov. 7 had a lot to say individually about film Canada Goose quality, with the only real consensus being that there are more options now than ever for projecting and restoring film.
Wendy Aylsworth, SVP, technology, Warner Bros. Technical Operations, said digital cinema and 4K digital film resolution, which refers to a resolution of approximately 4,000 pixels used in digital projectors and to Snow Mantra scan and restore films for home video release, was something that the industry was still introducing for a time, but that now filmmakers were beginning to incorporate the technology into their work.
“I think we're to the point now … that we're seeing the creatives push the envelope,” she said.
Cinematographer Roberto Schaefer (Quantum of Solace, Finding Neverland) was less keen on 4K resolution as well as 3D.
“Everything starts to look like daytime soap opera,” he said, regarding digital, adding that quality of image doesn't necessarily mean a sharper, crisper image. Regarding 3D, he said: “People seem to like it, sometimes. … But it comes down to story, also.”
The job for technologists Belstaff is to provide the “quiver” necessary for filmmakers to choose their tools as they see fit, according to Peter Lude, president of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. However, Schaefer said while options are great, he feared the ultra high-resolution of 4K and 3D would become the expected norm.
Aylsworth added: “I think that there's a lot of things that go into the reasons you go to the movie theater [that go] beyond pixels.”
Aylsworth said theaters can go beyond what you get at home because the experiences are different — theaters are dimly lit, and there are fewer distractions than at home, where people find they don't like wearing 3D glasses, for instance.
“I think that there will always be a need for theater-going, as opposed to home viewing,” she said.
Pierre Routher, VP, 3D product strategy and business development for Technicolor, agreed.
“The home version will be very immersive, but it will never be the same,” he said. But he added that his kids like the flexibility of being able to watch movies on the go on their iPad.
Routher said technologies are evolving Belstaff Outlet very quickly and the industry must take caution when introducing them to ensure things don't go wrong, such as 3D imaging that can make audiences feel nauseous. He said TV sets were being developed that could change the color gamut used to reflect filmmakers original intent. Lude encouraged coordination between theater operators, creators and consumer electronics manufacturers to keep such information via metadata.
Meanwhile, on a film restoration panel, panelists showed off films restored for home video release, such as Warner's recently released Ben-Hur, touted as the best restoration ever, costing nearly $2 million and scanned in 8K, according to Jeff Baker, EVP and GM, theatrical library, Warner Home Entertainment.
Andrea Kalas, VP, archives, Paramount Pictures, showed off a stunning restoration of the silent film Wings, which Paramount will release as part of its centennial celebration next year. She said the nitrate degredation was such that digital effects tools were necessary to restore the 1927 film.
“The digital technology we use for restoration allows us to do things we … couldn't address in the photochemical world,” said Grover Crisp, EVP, asset management, film restoration and digital mastering, Sony Pictures Entertainment.
