Author Topic: Movies in 5D! Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-15-2015 04:47 PM                     We are up to 5D now, right? Or is it 6D with this one? I've lost count. Regardless there is no better way to watch a Jurassic Park movie with dinosaurs running around in the rain attacking people than at this IMMERSIVE presentation.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 06-15-2015 05:10 PM                     When is Apple going to fix the bug on the iPhone that allows users to shoot video in portrait orientation?  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 06-15-2015 05:35 PM                     Dear lord that is a lot of water. Drainage on the roof must've been blocked or something.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 06-15-2015 07:15 PM                     quote: Ken Lackner When is Apple going to fix the bug on the iPhone that allows users to shoot video in portrait orientation?

But that image fits perfectly in auditoriums that were the victim of bad twin splits.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 06-15-2015 10:05 PM                     The caption under the video describes it as a 'roof collapse'. From what I can see in the video, only the ceiling collapsed, not the roof, which would have been a lot worse. As everyone knows, the worst non-fire theater disaster in the US was the collapse of the roof of the Knickerbocker Theater (Washington DC) in January 1922, after the weight of snow and ice from a blizzard that had raged for over 24 hours caused the main roof truss to pull away from its' support beams and collapse into the auditorium killing 98 people and injuring over a hundred more. Investigations into the accident placed at least some of the blame on deficiencies in the design of the roof and its' support structure. Several years later, the architect who designed the theater, and the man who owned the building both committed suicide.  |  IP: Logged Terry Monohan Master Film Handler Posts: 379 From: San Francisco CA USA Registered: May 2014 posted 06-15-2015 10:14 PM                     Thanks Brad for the flood link footage. Looks like everyone got out of the mid section in time before the roof tile came down,and the pre show show kept going. This is the type of rain we need in California but not on a bad drainage roof of a theatre. The timing may have been on spot during a rainy part of the movie but the downpour came before the movie even started I think. How many people in the crowd would have recorded the whole film with their cell phones? At least they got the roof coming down for the whole world to see even in stereo sound. Thanks again Brad for sharing this. In the US this would be the top news story of the day If It had took place in Dallas TX and give J Park a big plug.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-16-2015 05:31 PM                     too bad the clip has been removed...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-16-2015 10:56 PM                     here  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Truly Shocking. I hope nobody got hurt. What hurts me most is that the show is going on nevertheless - obviously nobody in the projection room, no emergency stop button and nobody skilled enough capable to stop the show and put the lights on straight away. Why would you ever need anything like that?  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-17-2015 04:46 PM                     I was thinking the same thing. With a ceiling collapse that bad, they should have cut the shows in all of the auditoriums and dumped the building. If the weather outside was severe, they could have brought at least some of the people out to the main lobby, instead. Point being, if there is THAT much water draining into one auditorium, it could happen in ANY auditorium and somebody should have been looking out for the safety of ALL the people inside the WHOLE building.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-17-2015 04:56 PM                     a person at a time they've fired everyone. Now the whole place is run by an underpaid manager and a computer.  |  IP: Logged
