The modern trend of cinemas showing you adverts featuring scenes from the movie you are about to watch is extremely annoying. I don't understand why they think viewers would prefer to see scenes out of context, simply to sell unrelated products and services, before watching the movie.

That's neat but I think we're still gonna need way higher resolutions to accurately simulate sub-pixel light bleed. These will be responsive, but artwork designed to be seen on a CRT still won't look right.
