I might even have a part in the middle where the film accidentally stops and screen ads come on. Muwahahahaha!  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-13-2007 07:12 AM                     Marcus Crosswoods, in the display ad in the newspaper, is advertising the two Grindhouse films separately with separate showtimes in its Ultrascreen room. Looks like some of the other Marcus locations might be doing this also. The Crosswoods also shows GRINDHOUSE running as a single feature in one theatre.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-13-2007 07:37 AM                     Well, now we know why the reels for both films were identified as one-through-six.  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 04-13-2007 09:01 AM                     My advice to patrons: 1) Don't go early to the theater. If the movie starts at 8, go into the theater at 8. You will have to spend a long time in there anyway. And there are plenty of seats. Enjoy Rose McGowan's leg kicks in the hilarious opening credits. 2) DO NOT TAKE A BREAK DURING THE FAKE TRAILERS in the middle.THis is the best part of the movie. 3) Take a bathroom BREAK at the 5 minute mark of Deathproof, just enough where you get sick of the four twits in the car and you got a sense of how Tarantino recreated the rambling pointless scenes from some bad 70s B movies. WHen you get back, they will still be yapping away. 4) When they get to the bar, take another break right away to get popcorn. Come back in time to hear some glam rock by Sweet and see Jungle Julia move her head and hair in circles to give a pretty nice visual. 5) Learn how to smoke. Take a smoke break during the scene when they introduce Zoe Bell and Co. My advice to theater owners: 1) Beg the Weinsteins for the lapdance scene in Deathproof and replace 80% of the twits blabbering in the car with the MISSING REAL insert . Repeat during the second set of twits blabbering.  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 04-13-2007 11:48 PM                        That's only good advice for people who don't love Tarantinoian dialogue... I was eating the whole thing up. I loved every frame. If you're like me, just relieve yourself right before, and stay away from the large sodas. (Or, enjoy that large dew... and relieve yourself in the theater. If you don't get kicked out, that auditorium is now a grindhouse.)  |  IP: Logged Sam King Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 04-14-2007 05:09 AM                     quote: Mark Lensenmayer separate showtimes in its Ultrascreen room Do I dare ask what makes a screen ULTRA?  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-14-2007 07:30 AM                     Quickly, ULTRASCREEN is Marcus Theatres term for a large screen room. Locally, it is a converted Imax GT room. Marcus UltraScreen  |  IP: Logged
