Author Topic: Sneak Preview Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 11-25-2003 01:05 AM                        Look at me going to ShoWest in 2004... I haven't had enough exposure in 2003. And Joe... why haven't you applied at the Aurora 16? Where do you think half the staff is probably coming from?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-25-2003 01:48 AM                        I did apply at the Aurora 16 a few years back but the manager only offered me around $7.75 or similar for the projection job. Just a tad low, I'd say! Ian and I put the video wall in that theater. That's why it sucks, in case you were wondering.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-26-2003 12:29 PM                        Looks like the Interstate Movies 8 has done the Film-Tech "upgrade your 2-drive DTS unit to 3 drives" modification!  |  IP: Logged Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 11-26-2003 07:07 PM                        I think they've stopped using that video wall now. GOOD WORK GUYS! I think I'm going to go complain about how bored I am in Josh's "I'm bored thread..."  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 11-26-2003 08:39 PM                     The InterState Movies 8 booth looks really clean for a sub run house. I wish I could keep my booth that nice.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-26-2003 09:08 PM                     I shot video of that place (video tour coming) and indeed those guys do a pretty darned good job. Even though it was a sub run theater, only one print had anything other than very, very light dust on the print. At least half of them looked brand new. Indeed, they put on a better show than most first run theaters.  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-03-2003 09:15 AM                     Well, I see someone at the Cinemark Tinseltown at Six Flags Mall has flunked slide tray loading school. (Check out the orientation of the "Matrix Revolutions" slide in the second auditorium picture.) Wonder how their film presentation is?  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-03-2003 09:33 AM                     Supposedly the Interstate Movies 8 was designed so that at a later time stadium seating could be retrofitted without too much difficulty. The last time I saw a movie there, it was in pretty good shape, but it was still a first run back then, as a Starplex cinema.  |  IP: Logged Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 12-03-2003 04:26 PM                        I like that the caption on the pic is ultra plain, and doesn't mention the backwards slide. Nobody would ever have guessed you chose that pic for a reason...  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-03-2003 06:30 PM                     Cinemark has a 10-plex in Central Ohio that is almost exactly this layout. Same color scheme and same poster positions in the lobby. I've been told it was also designed to be retrofitted for stadium seating, as the screens are quite high as well as the booth ports. When Cinemark stopped putting any money into their local theatres, talk of the stadium seats stopped. Watching a film in there is quite uncomfortable as the screens are just up too high. It's hard on the neck.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 12-03-2003 07:59 PM                     Dont all cinemarks look the same? at least all the few that I have been to do.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-03-2003 08:34 PM                     Most Cinemark theaters of the same vintage are alike except for the occasional variation in the paint job. There are two theaters in different towns (about 200 miles apart) that have the exact same floor plan, the exact same equipment inside but one has the "Front Row Joe" paint scheme (orange & purple) and the other has the "Image" paint scheme. (maroon & gold) When you are in the booth it's pretty hard to remember which theater you are in.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-03-2003 09:48 PM                     The schemes have official names? Wow. I've just been calling them "Movies", "Tinseltown", and "Legacy".  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 12-03-2003 10:39 PM                    Front Row Joe is going to be making a return to the big screen next year. This time it will be computer generated, This is being done to celebrate the 20th aniversary. Not sure when it will hit the screen but will be coming soon. As for the cinemark locations. We have two loccations here that are the same only diferances is that the concession stands are on oposite walls and the theaters are numbered the oposit way. Actually I think the Legacy in Texas is the only one officially using that name. All other designs of that type are just called Cinemark  |  IP: Logged
