Film is still better than digital. You can scan film negatives at

I ask you... Which would you rather have... 9600 DPI or 72 DPI? The
answer is pretty obvious.

No dogs here, BTW. Nor humour in the OPs post.

My take is that Danny is joking. It most certainly would be a joke if I said
it. And given the number of people who bit, a superbly effective joke to
boot.
