Fun movie for anyone who works in the industry. It's about 4 or 5 different people who spend most of there time watching movies, some as many as 5 a day. What I thought was so fun about the movie was the way these people obsesed about presentation. ------SPOILERS BELOW--------- One of them refused to watch video of any kind. Another had the dirrect number to his favorate booths in NYC so he could call and report problems from his theatre seat. Another couldnt watch the movie at all because it was spilling a few inches onto the masking. They would call ahead to all the theatres and try to get information on the print quality and format beforehand. My favorate quote: "Once I had a dream in CinemaScope, and I had to stop it because it was in the wrong aspect ratio." The end credits have the people talking with the crew of this documentry. Most of them complain that it's shot on video. A fun film, If your guilty about seing movies to often ( I see 3-5 a week ) this will make you feel much more normal.  |  IP: Logged
