Un-believable. <BR/>How did they get those dolly shots of the guys running down the length of the sub?<BR/>Went to every screening I could manage.<BR/>Saw Ben Hur one night at the Egyptian. Twenty Thousand Leagues at the El Capitan.<BR/>Actual Technicolor prints!<BR/> Lawrence of Arabia at the Cinerama Dome.<BR/>But the best was 25 years ago - a superb print of Midsummer Night's Dream, the old 39 version from Warner Bros, in one of the great grand old movie palaces...suddenly understood what it must have been like to go to the movies back then and why it was such a big deal and why The Movies became the Thing we revere today.<BR/>It is interesting how apple etc. can make a big sell out of movies that are meant to be seen big, on tiny screens( ipod, iphone, etc.) What is the attraction of Youtube? We (or rather those who don't know better) are being sold a bill of goods!SCOTT CAPLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383231992299446364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9770118.post-85019046316410358522008-02-18T11:39:00.001-05:002008-02-18T11:39:00.001-05:00It was a great day at the movies! - VinIt was a great day at the movies! - VinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9770118.post-54187879015808536782008-02-18T11:39:00.000-05:002008-02-18T11:39:00.000-05:00It was a great day at the movies!It was a great day at the movies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
