Definitely a diverse screening schedule...  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 05-30-2012 12:51 PM                     quote: Steve Guttag The print was from July 2002. The condition was VERY GOOD-Excellent. There was some dirt, an occasional fine scratch but never very long (I think I counted 2 or 3 times total...not including negative scratches). The sound was a bit strident. It was DTS from the original 6-track mix. In fact, you can hear the hiss in it. My suspicion that when they did the dupe to DTS, they didn't apply the Academy curve. The movie was mixed in the pre-eq era and would presume a "typical" theatre response...without applying an Academy roll off, you will get the type of sound I heard. Overall though, a great performance. was the front channel sound, three channel or five channel ??  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-30-2012 01:15 PM                     quote: Steve Guttag The print was from July 2002. Is that based on date-code on the print or is it something someone mentioned? I ask because I saw it in November 2001 at the Goldwyn in Beverly Hills. I suppose they may have struck more than one print at separate times, though I was under the impression only one new print had been made.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

There are five front channels (with panned dialogue) and surround (though there is not much information in the surround channel).  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
