Author Topic: Adam Martin and Scott Neff @ The Rialto Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-05-2003 07:11 PM                     Adam Martin and Scott Neff were kind enough to stop by the Rialto Cinemas Lakeside during their tour of Sonoma County cinemas. We had a pleasent chat and I think they left happy. Adam Martin and Scott Neff sitting in Ian Price's office at the Rialto Cinemas Lakeside. They were last seen heading to Cinemas West's Sabastopol 9 to see the two new stadium seating auditoriums.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-05-2003 07:47 PM                        I wish I could meet Ian.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Skallan Film Handler Posts: 65 From: Littleton, CO, USA Registered: May 2001 posted 01-05-2003 09:52 PM                     Ian, You have to be careful using auditorium seats in your office. I know from experience just how comfy they get while working long days.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

(Insert your own joke here) After Sebastopol, we went to the new AMC Bay Street 16 in Emeryville. Very nice 1920's art deco decor inside, but not all that great on the presentation. The flat film was slightly out of frame and the trailers were filthy. The image bounced all over the screen really bad and the digital (probably SDDS) dropped out at every trailer. At least they didn't use opaque tape. Scott says the projection package was by Strong, but I was too busy taking photos and avoiding security to go look for myself. The seats were different in that the seat bottoms were fixed and did not flip up, but they were comfortable. The auditorium we were in (#16, 108 seats) was entered through a little tunnel that led to the midway point in the auditorium and there was a cross aisle that was where all of the good seats should have been for stadium seating, about 1.25 screen heights back. Since I like my films to fill my peripheral vision (you know, an Imax thing) we sat in the back row of the front section, which was about one row too close for flat but probably okay for scope since they used top masking in this room. We had nachos and after the first container of cheese was cold, the second try was not enough to make it through the whole tray of chips. $1.75 for a second helping of cheese. Adaptation was a great film, presentation aside. I'll post a link here as soon as I get a photo tour built on Cinematour. (Thanks for the Rialto tour and the souvenirs, Ian! )  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

J/K, can't say that stuff anymore, I'm married! Anyway, I am convinced that Adam and my husband are long lost brothers... In person, Anthony looks exactly like Adam's picture, this probably isn't the best picture to compare them by, but its what I have.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-06-2003 06:09 PM                        Rachel, If you let me know both of their shoe sizes, I will stop eating your cats and hampster's. Then I will help you with your decision.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-06-2003 06:37 PM                     I don't know Adams shoe size, never met him.

Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-06-2003 07:36 PM                     It's 10-1/2. I'm planning on coming to New England later this year, but I don't know when yet. I'll make sure you know ahead of time so we can hook up. Maybe Bob can come up from the city and bring us some Maartinis.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-06-2003 08:23 PM                        Adam.... I not only will come up from the "City" but I also have Dig's in Newport, R.I. with a full service Maartini bar. One problem, people who drink with me, awake with tiny feet. What do you think, Rachel?  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-06-2003 09:24 PM                     Sounds Great! Too bad I don't drink! I'll have to drag along my other New England FT buddy's, my hubby Anthony and Sean McKinnon. I even bet Scott Norwood would join us!  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.
