I went to an Alien marathon last night and the print used for Alien was pretty horrible. It's been a long time since I've seen actual film being projected, so it wasn't the best reintroduction.

I saw Master in 70 as well at the arclight and goddamn did it look gorgeous.  They depth of field was roughly the width of a nose hair and you could see different PARTS of a persons face just slightly out of focus.  To me there is a strange, literal, alchemy with film that I'm not quite sure digital can be fully capable of replicating in my lifetime.   Not saying most films shouldn't be digital, and I dont hate digital at all, I just think there will always be a place for actual film.

I think there'll always be a place for diplomacy.
