Author Topic: Sneak Preview Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-13-2003 06:24 PM                        quote: Adam Martin Lawrence wrote: They could run large format all the time if they chose to, but most commercial exhibitors don't know how to run theaters with educational product. No, it's because they know educational crap is BOOOOORRRRRING and people don't wanna pay for it, especially when there are libraries. That's why IMAX sucks an incredible amount of ass... because it is boring.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

So? This theater doesn't have access to Imax product in any way, shape or form. You might as well say "all large format films are boring" and see what fans of Cinerama, VistaVision, et al have to say about that. As of late, 35mm films pretty much suck ass, too.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-13-2003 07:07 PM                  Adam Martin Lawrence wrote: quote: You might as well say "all large format films are boring" and see what fans of Cinerama, VistaVision, et al have to say about that Phil Hill King Dick says: quote: There is no comparison to the BORING large-format stuff to the commercially produced Cinerama or Vista-Vision films. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-13-2003 07:22 PM                        Sorry Adam, if it's an educational film, no matter if it's on 140mm 32-perf IMAX or VHS-EP it's still boring. It just so happens that IMAX caters to boring films.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-13-2003 07:25 PM                     Educational films are not boreing in any fashion and most institutional large format theatres make money that pays the bills of many museums that house them (unlike many bankrupt megaplex circuits)  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Now THAT was not only B O R I N G, but a waste of silver too. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-02-2003 06:30 PM                        About the "Premiere Cinema 12 " pics posted today: That theater is sure visual overload. The exterior is almost acceptable, but it has a Ruddfuckers right next to it, and they make awful burgers. Not sure if I like the checkerboard ceiling. The auditoriums look pretty nice. Then there is the booth. Damn it's cramped! I see they like to buy some used equipment here and there as well. I guess it's OK since the platters are AW3. But the sound looks like it doesn't offer much. They don't believe in drop ceilings, which should be mandatory in ALL projection booths. Check out these pics if you haven't already.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-08-2003 01:16 PM                     Regarding the Starplex Galaxy 16: What's all that film hanging off of the wire rack next to the makeup table? And on the floor? I don't see any film cleaners... And the sound rack conduit is at the perfect height for me to whack my forehead on. Maybe if they put in slightly more thought, they would put it under the tile... =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-08-2003 07:20 PM                        The mess of film hanging there just shows how much the projectionists care.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-08-2003 07:32 PM                     About the front page. Would it be possible to be able to save the files in the level 1 or 2 previews? I ask because some of us are still in the 90's and have stupid dial up and I have to download the PDF manuals to be able to view them. It just takes too long when it tries to load each page individually.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-08-2003 08:26 PM                     Chris, that is the point of pdf format. You download it and save it onto your computer, then you can view it off of your hard drive. It was never meant to be "surfed" like regular html web pages.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-09-2003 01:01 AM                     Ok, I jsut tried it and I can save from the front page now. I just recently started using netscape and I couldn't save from it with IE.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
