Author Topic: Dolby Digital Curious George Trailer Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-13-2005 09:15 PM                     Has anybody else seen this? I saw it at a formerly Eastern Federal Regal today. It was Curious George opening trap doors on the screen corresponding to sound. Then it said "Curious Where Great Sound Comes From?" followed by black screen with the Dolby Digital Logo. Nothing too impressive sonically and the scope trailer was windowboxed.  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 08-13-2005 09:27 PM                     I have a bunch of them... They aren't horrible, but the Dolby City trailer is still my favorite.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-13-2005 09:31 PM                     NOTHING beats the original "Dolby Stereo Digital" Train trailer. City is probably my favorite of the newer ones (although it's probably 10 or 11 years old now) because it had impact. The reason I didn't like this one is that a sound system trailer should show the capabilities of the system not just show that there are multiple channels.  |  IP: Logged John Carpenter Film Handler Posts: 96 From: Fort Walton Beach, FL, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 08-14-2005 02:29 AM                     Lyle- Which former "Eastern Federal" theatre did you see this at? We just put those on not too long before the Regal takeover. I think its a cute trailer, but you are right it doesnt do a whole lot for impressing customers with sound.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-14-2005 10:09 AM                     John, It was Royal Park 16, auditorium #9 (strange thing is that every movie I've ever seen at Royal Park has been in Auditorium #9). Movie was Skeleton Key. Excellent presentation, the only flaws being a couple of lab splices. Off topic, I hope that if Regal ends up closing one of the two "combined 30-plex" locations in Gainesville, they keep Royal Park open because it is much nicer than the Butler 14.  |  IP: Logged Robert Burtcher Expert Film Handler Posts: 194 From: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Registered: Jun 2005 posted 08-15-2005 02:30 AM                     There's actually a case of these, in both Flat and Scope, up on eBay from a theatre here in Oklahoma.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Sounds like they might be fun for kiddie movies.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-20-2005 10:11 AM                     Shipped with "Kicking & Screaming" was an order form for these trailers. Or, at least the print I ran at Lakeville got it. Did these only ship to the major multiplexes?  |  IP: Logged
