Calandale's turn in the spotlight

[Calandale]

I meant existence.

[enronh]

Nice avie Cal.

I'm sure youre happy at 69 for a while.

[Calandale]

We'll see if I can get it down some more. 

[SovaNu]

[Calandale]

You tried last night.
Almost succeeded.
But, I'm too wily.

70 is a good number, for those of us in the movie industry.

In bygone days, they always made 70mm prints of the biggest attractions, as opposed to the usual 35mm prints. They had vastly superior image quality and six-channel magnetic sound. Many of the best ones ("Ben Hur", "Spartacus", "Lawrence of Arabia"...) were also filmed in 70mm and still have an unsurpassed image quality.

*sigh* Those were the days.

(I get to screen a 70mm short on Friday, though. )

I would love to be there!

Even for a short, but a feature would be awesome!

The short is gorgeous. It's a stop-motion film, with a Panavision 70mm camera on rails, moving through a village while letting a full year pass. It's one of the best films I've ever seen in my life.

The image is fantastic. There's no word to describe it, when you see it on a 60-foot wide screen.

[Pyraxis]

Wow. I second that, wishing I were there.

How come you get to screen it, Odeon?

It certainly sounds intriguing. I would love to see it!

Some high-powered execs wanted to experience a film out of the ordinary, I believe. Years ago, I recommended this short to my boss at the cinema, and he actually listened, for once. Now, every time he needs to show what the cinema is capable of, he rents that print.

This is the one:

The Year Along The Abandoned Road

That does sound amazing, Odeon.  Thanks for linking it.
