Viewing Notes

Saturday afternoon serial: for some dumb reason I downloaded a colorized version of this movie. It looks like shit and made this viewing unpleasant. Didn’t feel like looking for the movie again so I just watched this. It was like viewing a live action AI generated image. Hands would change to grey gloves mid-scene. So bizarre and creepy.

I will never understand why colorization became a thing. If it was not meant to be presented in color why do it?

I know, “because we can”

Ugh

Spanish actor Fortunio Bonanova is the inspector and he sounds like Michael Parks as Esteban in KBv2. It’s very amusing.
