Is that why the Hollywood in Garland is actually only 15?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-13-2009 08:34 PM                     no the 16 stood for 16mm thats why I only go to movies 70  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-13-2009 08:46 PM                     Scott, I'm not sure how many 15 plexes Cinemark built tagged as Movies 16. Jonathan, I'll bet you $20 come August 1, 2009 (over a YEAR later than your date) that you still won't see a single screen digital there. Are you a bettin' man? And no I had nothing to do with the install, but Cinemark called me out there awhile back to train the projectionists on how to NOT destroy the prints opening day.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 01-13-2009 09:02 PM                     I bet you $200 that we won't be digital by then. The Cedar Hill theatre, only 10 miles away just got one screen digital, though. Luckily, they started installing the silver screens anyway. We have 3 installed with 2 more sitting in their tubes in an auditorium, makes us look really classy.  |  IP: Logged Ryan Navaroli Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Athens, OH, USA Registered: Nov 2005 posted 01-14-2009 04:19 PM                        quote: Jonathan Althaus Congrats Ryan. Both sets of sprocket holes are slightly raised. Just enough to feel, but not enough to see. We had a similar problem on another projector about a year and a half ago, just to a more extreme level and it turned out to be a bent shaft on the soundhead sprocket. Now I have to hope 1 run isn't enough to screw up another print. Today I shed a tear and smell that sweet odor of victory. After the numerous times I have been aided I have finally helped someone. Good luck Jonathan.  |  IP: Logged
