Dear All at Film-Tech,This must be something for you. DTS has asked me to come up with a list of ALL remaining 70mm cinemas everywhere in the world. In any case they'd like to know how many theatres still can project 70mm 5-perf. I have made a web page on my site at http://hjem.get2net.dk/in70mm/in70mm/70mm_theatres_woldwide.htm -, where I will list the theatre names you know are able to run 70mm 5-perf. This is of general interest in order not to say goodbye to 70mm 5-perf completely. So, please share your wealth of knowledge, so we again can have more 70mm 5-perf in theatres. All the best

Ian, I wouldn't count the Continental. I just went there last week and first, the Norelco AA2 has been replaced with a Christie gearless. Second, the sound in that #5 auditorium is beyond pathetic. That room needs some SERIOUS acoustic treatment, a good B-chain, and at least double the light output I saw on the screen. I've seen brighter drive-ins! (At least the other 5 auditoriums seemed to have around 16 footlamberts of light.)The other 5 auditorium's sound systems were decent, but oddly enough the small #3 auditorium and the #1 THX auditorium seemed to have the best sound in the complex, but nothing spectacular. The THX auditorium #6 was incredibly screechy and harsh...the kind of harshness you can feel in your eardrums. It wasn't being played loud either. Regardless, after viewing about 2 minutes of Cast Away in #5, I would never under any circumstances watch a movie in that auditorium under the current presentation conditions. (On a positive note, none of the prints in the complex were scratched...just very dirty at the reel changes. That's better than the "typical" theater complex today.)
