Author Topic: HATEFUL EIGHT 70mm - all discussion Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-23-2015 06:09 PM                        So why aren't they advertising the 70mm on TV? All the H8tefull 8 ads say December 31. Will people even know about the December 25th dates? How?  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 12-23-2015 06:48 PM                    quote: Joe Redifer Will people even know about the December 25th dates I don't know about other theaters, but Century 12 Evanston/Cinéarts 6 is already sold out of the December 24th 7 PM 70mm screening, so I think most people who have searched the movie are aware of the roadshow dates.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-23-2015 08:02 PM                        There is a TV spot for the 70mm release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa9h2FyNt60 I have no idea where it is playing, though. Presumably, it would only be shown in markets that are getting 70mm prints.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-23-2015 09:44 PM                        quote: Philip Wifflief We received our print with inboard vertical base scratches on several of the reels... quote: Simon Wyss Cinch marks from transport? Given "several of the reels," I assume that Philip's print was shipped in changeover configuration, i.e. 5 reels in transit boxes, not the ready assembled platter roll. If so, the problem can only be a film handling error by whoever had the print last, as far as I can see: either an accident during projection itself, or uneven or too loose winding. If the damage is on the odd or even numbered reels, this would strongly suggest a problem with one of the projectors on a changeover installation.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-24-2015 10:37 AM                     It could also be processor scratching  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-24-2015 10:47 AM                     So is anyone planning to see a Thursday night 70mm screening of The Hateful Eight? I'm considering trying to talk my girlfriend into driving up to OKC to see the first show tonight at the Quail Springs Mall theater. It looks like tickets are still available for it as well as the late show. The weather is going to be pretty crappy this weekend; pouring down rain Saturday and maybe snowing on Sunday. Plus, I don't know how many passes through the projector that 70mm print will get before it is toast. I'm just praying they don't shred it and if they do that it doesn't happen any time soon.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-24-2015 10:49 AM                        I ruled processor scratching out when writing that reply above, because all the prints are being checked and assembled by the team in Valencia before being shipped to theaters. In the process of transferring the prints from the cores and boxes on which I understand they're leaving FotoKem, to the reels and cases on which they're being shipped onwards to theaters, surely the technician doing this would have noticed if they arrived "virgin" from the lab already scratched? The conclusion I jumped to is that because this appears to be a changeover-configured print, it was one that was used in one or more of the pre-release preview shows, and that's where the accident happened. In any case, I imagine that Chapin's team will want to establish exactly where and how that scratching happened, for obvious reasons. quote: Bil Brandenstein suppose if I want to see pretty pictures in 70mm, I'm going to need to head down to the Imax theater at California Science Center, because now I'm certain that H8ful is a movie I have no interest in seeing. I'm kinda ambivalent about Tarantino. He's not a minor talent, but neither is he a Welles or a Bergman. A co-worker watched this thing at one of our preview screenings, and concluded that the story and acting were solid achievements, but what Tarantino really needed was a Thalberg-style producer breathing down his neck and pruning the show down to 90 minutes or so. Hitchcock tried a similar style and technological gimmick with Rope, but knew his audience's limit and kept it down to five reels.  |  IP: Logged Paul H.

That kind of sums it up. Negative reviews will likely be coming in.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-24-2015 01:53 PM                        Bobby, just do it!

Even if it has been a strange and not perfect road, 70mm has returned for a short time. By all accounts from friends who have had a chance to see it, it's pretty darn good. I'll be seeing it Saturday at the AMC Northpark!  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 12-25-2015 01:29 PM                     I'll be seeing it at the Varsity in Toronto...earlier in the day I will witness Star Wars at Scotiabank Imax (pronounced liemax)with lasers. If I can...I'd like to check out The Music Box(Chicago) presentation of The Hateful Eight. They put up a 40 foot screen in front of the proscenium with masking! They also upgraded to 7.1. Most impressive!  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 12-25-2015 04:49 PM                     It's FANTASTIC! I loved it.  |  IP: Logged Philip Wittlief Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Chicago, IL Registered: May 2003 posted 12-25-2015 06:35 PM                        We received the print preassembled. I have no way of knowing if it was run before we got it but it could have been scratched while it was being assembled. The condition of the print is holding steady at least and no more damage has shown from our running. Too bad we don't have a way to get our hands on a 70mm media cleaner.  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 12-26-2015 06:27 AM                     Reddit 70mm results thread https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/3y7a2b/post_hateful_eight_70mm_show_reports_here/  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 12-26-2015 06:45 AM                     Wow.
