Yeah the presentation is great there as well. But the "retro" carpeting and decor bites! ;) :D

Jonathan I have absolutely no doubt that you are correct regarding 95% of theaters do not have the proper equipment. My only point was that I am lucky enough to live near three stellar theaters like the Mann Village, Chinese and the Cinerama Dome, who still do things the right way...

From the www.sdds.com site, narrowed down their list of SDDS films (which was very extensive) to the 8-channel ones only. Spidey2 isn't on there but I've fired off an email to the rep to see if perhaps the Village print was specially mixed or not. Click here to go to the list of 8-channel...

No worries, as you haven't burst my bubble. The person I talked with at Sony Studios in Culver City said they specially mixed TPM for the Village presentation back in 1999. You've been a projectionist for 2 years and I respect that, but you haven't been a projectionist *everywhere* and...

That might be true. And in the few cases I've seen SDDS prints (Cinerama Dome and Mann Village) they were the exceptions in that they care about presentation quality. The Village only has one screen and the Dome used to only have one screen (when I saw Fifth Element it did) but they recently...

Wow, SPR in SDDS, that would have been something to see! I'm not sure either how a theater chooses which sound system to go with. I'm thinking it is a hardware or licensing cost decision as to why theaters don't go with SDDS. Not everyone wants to set up 5 discrete channels behind the screen.

Okay, I’ll admit up front that there are several reasons why I am posting this thread: 1. To serve as a counter-opinion to the “I hate theaters, that’s why I’m building an HT” threads. 2. To tout SDDS as a theatrical sound system (though I understand why it can’t be used in HT) 3. To...
