Ye Gods!  Sorry, but I had to rant and the poor cat has already gone  into

What were they trying to do? Block your program?
 
Because of TV, digital to these guys always seems to mean "following a  
narrative arc," as if that's the extent of the medium's possibilities. It's one 
 more reason why I hate video-- Oops sorry, I mean "digital filmmaking."
 
BTW, what does a "digital counterpart" look like-- do they get all broken  
up when they stop making sense?
 
Film is probably now better placed in the art department. The dept heads  
probably prefer digital because it's cheaper. And it has something to do with 
 Facebook etc.
