Yeah, you're probably thinking of me.
I don't actually want everything to look like
Predator, but I am quite happy with some delicate DNR use to reduce grain, should grain be excessive or intrusive. And loss of tiny, minor detail can be an acceptable compromise to me, depending upon grain levels. Case by case basis.
I am perfectly OK with only being able to see 2 instead of 3 blackheads on someone's nose of it means grain levels don't irritate me.
I am also on record as saying that the screencaps I have seen of that version of
Predator don't look so bad. Which they don't. Never seen the actual BD though, so it may well look awful.
Warts and all is a perfectly acceptable approach though, and I do understand why you lot adhere to it so
mentally passionately!
