In the commentary though, the director makes a comment which I've heard many times before, and which irritates me, especially at this late date of the evolution of digital media: the idea that digital production "lacks something". That it's inherently soul-less and sterile, whereas analogue media are soulful and vibrant. It's complete BS. If digital art is or has been sterile or plasticky, it has only been because of: 1) too low complexity early in the game 2) lack of skill or knowledge of the operators.

Sometimes people can admit they were wrong about digital when they are confronted with the evidence. Robert Rodriguez set out to convert Quentin Tarantino when they worked together on some project (I don't know if that would have been the Grindhouse stuff or if this was earlier), and at the end Tarantino said "Mission accomplished." He said that he had previously thought film was better but is now all about the digital.
Oh cool.
Yes, Robert Rodriguez is one who really uses digital to the hilt, o my.
It was when he directed a segment of Sin City. Here's proof, at Movieweb and Wired.
