How a SE 70mm print is possible here?
Dave stated that he saw a 70mm print of Aliens, and unless I missed it, he doesn't mention that it was the SE anywhere in his post.
I have went back through my emails and outlook entries and while I have a number of saved emails regarding movie night it seems that the email for Aliens was not one of them. Also looking back on my records in outlook it looks as I put down the wrong year. The actual date I saw this movie was 7/29/2014 then again on 7/29/2017 so the date in 2016 was nothing more than watching my blu-ray copy. But getting back to seeing Aliens have it down in outlook that it was the directors cut and maybe that is only because the words directors cut was used at the screening instead of Special Edition. I see on my blu-ray it says Special Edition so the screening had to have been the Special Edition with the added footage that was not in the Theatrical release. I know that one of the guys that did classic movie night at Fox is no longer there after Disney purchased Fox. I am thinking about sending an email and see if I get a response about the screening of Aliens to see if I can get a verification of it being a 70mm presentation of the movie. I know there where a few movies at Fox that where shown on 70mm like Patton and Sound Of Music. I just have a strong memory of Aliens being 70mm but if I am wrong it was at least 35mm but all these years I only remember it being 70mm. There where a number of movies shown from a 4K DCP file but I am sure Aliens was not one of them. I will update if I am somehow able to get conformation of the movie being from 70mm. Alot has been going on so I apologize if I misremember this screening. Also this was the fist movie I was able to see at Fox movie night which holds a special place in my heart.
