Author Topic: Positive Feedback on Good Presentation Quality John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-29-2004 11:07 AM                        In the Film Handler's Movie Reviews, David Stambaugh wrote about a positive experience with "National Treasure": quote: Today, Regal Cinema World 8 in Eugene, 7PM, House #4, attendance maybe 125. The print was flawless and the onscreen image quality was as good as 35mm ever seems to get (to my eyes anyway). Very bright, sharp, steady, loads of detail. Good sound too. Always let theatres know when you are pleased with their presentation quality! A letter to the theatre manager and others higher up in the circuit gives good positive reinforcement to a job well done.

It lists in comprehensive detail such data as company names, addresses and phone numbers, total screens and new screens projected, division office locations, top personnel, recent circuit acquisitions, and a state-by-state breakdown of screens.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-29-2004 09:46 PM                        That particular house (#4) consistently has the best image quality around here. With a good print, it's amazing how much detail they get on that screen (which is only around 32' in scope in case you're wondering; Simplex 1014, Strong 4KW console/lamphouse; auditorium seats around 450, conventional sloped seating). I'd love to have one of you guys see it and evaluate it. I'm sure you'd find some things to criticize, but damn, it sure looks good to me. I just sent Regal a positive comment card, which I know some of the more jaded here will snicker at (or you'll think I probably don't know what I'm talking about). But those comments do trickle down to the individual theaters and maybe, just maybe it'll help reinforce that someone noticed they're doing something right.  |  IP: Logged Michael Wilkinson The Entertainment King of Colusa and Beyond Posts: 89 From: Colusa, CA USA Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-30-2004 02:25 AM                        I only have one screen. My presentation has to be great!  |  IP: Logged Roger Frazee Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Knoxville, TN, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-30-2004 04:08 AM                     Thank you, David, for posting your comments and thank you, John, for bringing them to this forum. I will make sure that the folks in Operations and the tech for that theatre see this positive feedback. It is most appreciated.  |  IP: Logged
