One of these days we'll find that he's stuck about 85 knocked-through garden sheds on the roof and turned the place into an Imax!  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 11-29-2003 06:16 PM                        Sorry not been on here as busy, Screen frame decided it wouldn't bend, without major re-building, We advertised Krakatoa on the posters and in the brouchure as 'Made for the Cinerama Screen' So appologise for any confusion, but asked in the budget for york for 50k for new curved screen and tabs, don't think ill get it somehow! Worth a try though i thought. That dam baffle wall will be a pain to curve, might try get Uri Geller to rub it all a little!? Peter any relpy from THX re the CP200 insallation? Darren. P.S. Would love to put an Imax in york, think that old building called 'York Minster' would make a great Imax 4-plex, Its got the height.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 11-30-2003 01:55 PM                     I wasn't able to make it, show times, working hours and transport timetables just didn't work out, I'll try to get to another show.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-01-2003 02:48 AM                        There were plans for many years to put an IMAX theatre in York. The favourite site was on the city side of Lendal Bridge where there used to be a car dealership. They even shot some IMAX footage in anticipation. A guy called David Taylor and his company York Films covered the Pope's visit in 1982. The footage still exists somewhere. BTW I had excellent reports from Tony and Duncan about the Sunday screening of Earthquake. They were particularly impressed by the professor and his sidekick inspecting the building for seismic damage! Well done old bean!  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 12-01-2003 04:50 PM                        York would make a great IMAX film, what with the Vikings, Trains and the Pope! Would love to work on Imax one day. The site where the cinema was going to be built, as part of a Hotel complex I believe, is now Norwich Union HQ. What a waste ehh! Looks like an Earthquake may come to Bradford next march, need to do some testing in December in Pictureville. Hope to catch up with you then.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-02-2003 03:54 AM                     The pathetic thing is that the trailer for "Good Boy" looks far better from DVD than from 35mm  |  IP: Logged
