Author Topic: Well done to IMAX Digital (clapping my hands) David E. Nedrow Master Film Handler Posts: 368 From: Columbus, OH, USA Registered: Oct 2008 posted 01-07-2012 12:11 AM                        quote: Mike B If they really cared about getting told of problems, they would put the QC message in between the trailers and the feature. I agree. Here is our last "slide" before the "And now, our feature" tag...  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-07-2012 12:39 AM                        Slides like that always make me cringe because it gives me the impression that the theater staff does not keep an eye on the presentation and/or other things.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-07-2012 02:01 AM                     That's the same way I feel about the message that some people here praised that IMAX puts on movies telling them to call corporate for any presentation issues. It gives me the idea that they are merely reactive. A company that cares about the presentations and maintenance that goes along to achieve this will not need such a message.  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 01-07-2012 03:36 AM                     It also makes me cringe, but only because it should be "You're" or "You are." "Your," a singular possessive personal pronoun, is grammatically incorrect for the kind of statement being made in the slide.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-07-2012 05:17 AM                     quote: Sam D.

McLaughlin Film Handler Posts: 76 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 2011 posted 01-07-2012 06:55 AM                        I can remember that time when there were ushers.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

I'm surprised that it took three responses before someone pointed that out. At first I thought it was a joke.  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-07-2012 07:19 AM                     At the Temple Theatre in SAGINAW, MI there are ushers at each lobby door as well as both the projectionist and stage manager present during the entire presentation. The original Barton pipe organ is played before each showing as well. There are two curtains that move as well as a three color light show in the auditorium. Curtain warmers and footlights as well. There are 23 other screens near by where you can see a movie but at the Temple you get a "show"  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-07-2012 10:09 AM                     quote: Mark J.

They might not understand it otherwise.  |  IP: Logged
