That's certainly an easier solution than filing the plate (I *hated* doing that). :thumbsup:

You need to file out that scope plate a little bit :) Haven't tried the Oppo remote app for a while - will try tonight and get back to you.

That's too bad.

Does the Panavision lens use polarized glasses or something else?

Music to my ears. I do miss running film.

Nice! I remember when we upgraded lenses a few months after opening up a vintage location with lenses from the 70s and it was like I got new eyeglasses.

I think the 3.0 Perspecta is the optional track. Also - you can only access it on the widescreen version.

Yeah, sure. Tell yourself that. ;)

I used to go often - even when I was working in one. Now, it's a handful of times at most. Painful show of "Stan & Ollie" last week at the Bow Tie Cinemas Clairidge (a multi-screen abomination of New Jersey's only Cinerama location) - tiny screen (14 feet wide judging by the ceiling tiles)...

Never heard of that one, looks interesting. Re: AMC rant. I hate that they run 6 - 8 trailers after that awful preshow stuff. If I'm lucky I can remember one title out of the bunch. That and the exit lights shining on the screen, and the aisle lights shining up on the screen, and the exit light...

Wow - I've *never* seen anyone in Hollywood address that issue. Kudos to Cruise and McQuarrie.

I get nostalgic seeing all that booth gear.

Love the decorative lighting.

Thanks Don. I did some YouTube watching last night seeing how people use those for masking projects. I see I can get them inexpensively from Ebay, etc., I might have to get one and experiment with my side curtains. I have an idea of how I could use one of them with pulleys, wire rope, and...

Very slick - can you post a picture of the mechanism? I keep saying I want to motorize my side (and top/bottom) masking one of these days. :)

That's coming along great, like a miniature version of a well-appointed neighborhood art house. How will the side making operate? Are they on curtain track or did you come up with another way?

Nice work!

That's terrible.

The Panasonic 8000 has motorized zoom and electronic image shift with multiple memories (the manual shift is only usable during initial setup). It can accommodate most of what you want to do for under 2 grand, though it is an older model now and also isn't as bright as your Epson (and, IMO, the...

Love it! I was expecting to hear a "ting!" like a changeover shutter. Am I correct guessing that the automation is two-way allowing you to: 1) run a pre-show on film switching to digital for feature 2) run a pre-show on digital switching to film for feature

Slick!

Nice engineering. I miss my projection booth :(

"Fight Pay-TV!"

Good choice - the UK Blu or US DVD? I can't imagine it would be a 35mm as they're all faded.

Yes, coconut oil is the best for theatre-flavor popcorn (with the Flavcol salt). You could always tell when a theatre switched from coconut to canola oil because it smelled like a fish fry instead of a movie theatre. :)

I spent too many years in the projection booth attempting good showmanship :) . I want to have full control like I used to have there. If my room wasn't width-challenged, I'd have a curtain traveler going in. As it is, I'll settle for simulating it with lights as I can afford to get them.

Glad to help. I want to get a universal remote that can, with one push, trigger my Hue lights to dim in the sequence I want, hit play on the Blu machine, fade up the audio, and then unblank the projector as the screen lights fade out. One day...
