I've read two things online about DCP file sizes that I thought were interesting.. the first, that Warner compresses things a lot, just as they do with their Blu-rays - their file sizes are apparently the smallest in the business. The other thing I read, and I'm taking all of this with a grain...

To the theater's credit, when I arrived at the box office, there was a note clearly posted that it would not be 35mm -- knowing that, I still made the choice to purchase a ticket. But if they had tried to switch without saying anything, I might have asked then. But I think they did the right...

I believe it was the Criterion disc they were showing. The screen was certainly smaller than 25 feet. It didn't look bad. My complaint was more the part where they posted on their website that they were showing a 35mm print, and then when I got there, it was just the Blu-ray. I think there's...

Yeah, that one case was the extreme. Every other screen in that theater is bigger than that at least, and one is decently large. I just learned from that to steer clear of auditorium #5.

Not huge. 50" plasma and I just got a projector on a 108" screen (but I didn't have that when I saw Godzilla). But I swear Godzilla wasn't much more than 50" on this screen, the theater only had three rows.

Not much film on film in NYC, unfortunately, so even living in a major city it can be difficult. A few weeks ago I was chatting with someone and I found myself saying, "There's not a single 35mm print of anything being shown this weekend in New York City." Never thought I'd ever have reason to...

That was my feeling exactly seeing my favorite film, "2001: A Space Odyssey" on DCP vs. seeing it in 70mm. I've seen the DCP several times now on various size screens, and the 70mm print I saw of it a couple weeks ago was far superior.

I'm especially like that if it was shot and released originally on film. For a digital production, or a film released now in the era primarily of digital projection, I'm totally fine with digital projection. But most of the older films that I had seen before in 35mm seemed a little lacking in...

I wonder if they've upgraded to a 4K projector. A couple years ago, they advertised that they were showing a 4K DCP of "Dr. Strangelove" but when I asked at the theater, I was told that while the DCP was in 4K, the projector itself was only 2K. I generally won't pay to see a DCP if I have a...

I'm sure it's likely to be a good DCP. I just question whether or not it's correct to be calling it a "new restoration". "New" to me means just done, never before released, etc., not "DCP made a couple years ago from same source as Blu-ray". I'm not saying it's poor quality, just that the...

That would have been my guess -- only it seems strange to call that a "new 4K restoration". I really wish that studios, exhibitors and distributors (for home media and theaters) could be more descriptive of what's being shown. If it's the same master as the Blu-ray, I feel no need to pay to go...

Wondering if anyone here might know anything about this: http://filmforum.org/film/vertigo-film-page The Film Forum is scheduled to play "Vertigo" for a week in October, and they're billing the presentation as being from a "New 4K Restoration". Was there actually a new 4K restoration done...
