Author Topic: Cinerama At The Dome? When? Roger Manning Jr Film Handler Posts: 32 From: Encinitas, CA, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-27-2003 02:54 PM                     Anyone have info on when the next Cinerama showing at the Dome in L.A. will be The Cinerama Adventure site has not been updated in a long time. I would like to go up there to see How The West Was Won if they are going to show it. Thanks Roger  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-28-2003 08:30 AM                        AFAIK there are tentative plans to run HTWWW at the Dome sometime late spring/ early summer but nothing definite as yet.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 03-28-2003 09:26 AM                     Dick, how was the widescreen weekend, I wasn't able to make it again this year? Have you considered trying to get one of the kinopanorama films sometime? Also, as another special event, how about a full day Imax festival sometime, running some of the older films hat we haven't seen for some years?  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-28-2003 10:37 AM                        It all went well though sadly I wasn't in attendance as I have had a rather nasty ear infection which laid me up for two weeks and I the developed Bell's palsey in the left of my face! I blame it on the Canadians as it started shortly afterI returned from my six weeks in Toronto. We have occasionally run short festivals of IMAX golden oldies . There was a tentative plan to do it this year as 2003 marks the 20th anniversary of IMAX in Bradford but it fell through. Perhaps next year for the 21st Birthday celebrations!  |  IP: Logged Andrew Lee Film Handler Posts: 99 From: Oakville, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jun 2002 posted 03-31-2003 08:08 AM                     Dick, I'm sorry to hear about your misfortunes. I truly hope you get better soon. You probably got sick because you did not drink enough beer. Andrew  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I suppose the wind could have been blowing east from Hamilton while you were here... that could explain lots too. Hope you get well soon... I know a few people that have come down with Bell's Palsey lately, all of them 'cleared up' in a few months time.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 03-31-2003 08:20 AM                     Sorry to hear about the illness Dick, hope you're feeling better.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-01-2003 01:32 AM                        Thanks everyone for the good wishes. Luckily the BP seems to be clearing up real fast so I no longer dribble my beer out the left side of my mouth All I have to do now is hope the SARS problem in Toronto clears up before I fly out there again in mid May!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

So it might be a while yet. Somewhat annoying, as a few of my classes, which were in the McMaster University Medical Centre lecture halls, have been cancelled. On the plus side (for you anyway) there probably won't be any snow by then. It did snow today though.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-15-2003 05:34 AM                        Just heard from a relibale source that a brand new three-strip Technicolor print of "How The West Was Won" opens at The Cinerama Dome Theatre on Sunset Boulevard May 2nd.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-15-2003 01:56 PM                     quote: brand new three-strip Technicolor print... You mean, a new dye-transfer print? I'd heard that dye transfer is once again RIP.

Didn't the Seattle people get complaints for this very reason recently? I'd like to come and see a show but give us a chance to make some plans, jeez!  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 04-16-2003 04:14 AM                     Chris wrote: quote: You mean, a new dye-transfer print?

Technicolor's website lists dye-transfer printing as one of their current services, however some people have said that the new line was shut down and taken apart again a year or so ago.
