Author Topic: WB Hands Out Night Vision To Harry Potter Exhibitors In UK Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-07-2004 08:43 PM                  No insult taken... you are just missing the point of this discussion.... Thanks for the link... I guess I was totally stupid in thinking we were talking low-light levels as in THEATRES, NOT total darkness... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Yeah, as I said, it would be not necessary to use the IR illuminators on the goggles in the theater, but my point was that most goggles had them. I wonder how many ushers would know NOT to turn them on... and what would happen to the assisted listening devices if they did. Makes me want to go buy a pair and see what happens.  |  IP: Logged Alexander Smith Expert Film Handler Posts: 128 From: Walney Island, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.

I'm assuming they'll want them returned... Should we look out for them (the monocles, not dodgy DVDs) on eBay?

WB, the recipient of thousands of these things, aren't going to check them _all_. Upon the release of Potter4, the same monocle is sent to cinema "B"... Let the mud-slinging begin. :-) Far fetched? Perhaps. There will be _alot_ of cinemas involved in this so it might happen. Alex.  |  IP: Logged
