Well, at least we now know that Robert Siegel has NOT posted in the Kino discussion thread on this site, and therefore he should not be surprised no one from Kino has responded. He posted on another site and that's where a couple of people took him on. I'm not sure WHY he won't post in the...
The Kino response is typical. They do not care. They clearly don't want to make any waves with Universal. If Universal said that to them up front, the obvious thing to have done would have been to check previous releases and TELL them it was stereo on the DVD - they could have taken it right...
As I said elsewhere, you posting in these thread will go nowhere. Post in the Kino Blu-ray discussion thread at the top of the page. NOT the new release thread, the discussion thread. Otherwise you're just yammering in the wind.
Bus and truck tours were always on the cheap, set-wise. Proper first national tours have full sets replicating the B'way version. While they may be slightly scaled down to fit various venues, first nationals usually play at least two weeks in every city and usually more than that. The only time...

Yeah, reportedly - in people's imaginations. Show me an ad with a 70mm logo or print and I'll believe it - otherwise it's another load of hooey, I'm afraid. If the LA and NY roadshows weren't 70mm, I can pretty much guarantee you that it never played anywhere else in the US in 70mm. And, of...
So sorry I missed this thread yesterday - I could have had SUCH fun :) So much misinformation. First off, I will not take seriously the "friend" who somehow magically got an early copy of the Blu-ray for the simple reason that he thinks this film was in 1.66. Second, yes, the Warner on...
