Anyone out there brave the long lines to see it on opening day or work at one of the theaters in which it opened? Style A. Artist: Roger Kastel. The Honolulu Advertiser, May 21, 1980. Style B.

As we both know, all of the three original three STAR WARS films played in Honolulu at the Cinerama in 70mm . Seeing the Granada Theatre advertisement also brought back memories of the time I spent in Santa Barbara when I was a student at Brooks Institute of Photography and used to frequent the theatre a lot. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-25-2011 02:22 PM                     Released thirty-four years ago today...

Saw Empire at Prestonwood GCC on opening weekend. My mother got mad at my father & I for booing & hissing at Vader when he first came on screen. Good times!  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-26-2011 12:54 PM                     Winning (years before Charlie Sheen)...

I was aware the UA Northstar 8 in Garland and the South 8 near Red Bird Mall had 70mm capability, but I can't recall either one running a 70mm print.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 05-29-2011 12:06 PM                    I was over at the Cumberland 4 a while back. I saw a pretty good foreign film called Certified Copy. I did a little observing. While each of the four cinemas uses 35mm film with a platter. All four cinemas still have their second projector sitting there which was once used via changeover. Cinema #1 still the 70mm rollers attached. Screen size was about 25 feet.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-29-2011 06:05 PM                     Los Angeles Times, December 13, 1979  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 06-01-2011 10:42 PM                     quote: James Westbrook I had completely forgotten that the Highland Park Village theater had 70mm capability. Don't get too excited about it because I think the 70mm claim in the Labyrinth ad was erroneous.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 06-01-2011 10:56 PM                    Its sad that the TIFF Lightbox which has 70mm capability won't be playing "Tree of Life" in 70MM. They will play the movie, no word on digital or 35mm. Some good news. West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia, and Spartucus will be avaiable during the summer in 70MM Tiff  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 06-02-2011 03:57 PM                     ...and its sad they can't get a 70mm print of Days of Heaven for their Terrence Malick retrospective.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 06-02-2011 07:28 PM                    Rick-That would be a good one to watch, I have never seen it and it would be the perfect way to see it for the first time.  |  IP: Logged
