Paul Vollmers Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sister Lakes, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 06-19-2005 05:46 AM                     Do you need a red reader for the optical sound track for Star Wars III?

Disney, on the other hand, is really going at it with those.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 06-19-2005 09:33 PM                     To cyan, or not to cyan, don't put any money in George's pocket.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-19-2005 09:56 PM                     Isn't Lucas all about the video thing these days? Cyan tracks still involve an analog medium: film.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-19-2005 10:53 PM                        It's probably a Fox thing, not a Lucas thing. Fox hasn't switched on any of their releases yet, have they?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 06-19-2005 11:04 PM                        Aw come on Mike, it's more fun to bash George.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 06-19-2005 11:47 PM                        If Lucas was really interested in pushing new technologies such as digital cinemas, he would have given digital cinema locations preferred conditions, maybe even an earlier release date. Which we as one of the exhibitors with the highest density of d-cinema installations in the world would certainly have welcomed. And it would have given the whole d-cinema thing a very noticeable push. But of course he didn't insist on that, because everything he says and does these days is just cold smoke.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-20-2005 09:55 PM                        Sounds like good cop/bad cop kind of thing to me.
