Author Topic: The Clone War EX David Stone Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Hornsby, Sydney, Australia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 08-08-2008 04:22 AM                     Just a heads up for anyone screenig The Clone Wars in Dolby Digital EX. The film Distributor in Australia advised me that the Flags have been left off the EX track. Anyone with a SA10 with a 814A card will need to set the rotary switch from 5 (for a CP65) to F. Otherwise the EX won't come on. Naturally you will need to reboot the SATIN BOX (SA10) for this to work. [LIST] Cheers, David.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy M Smith Film Handler Posts: 48 From: Taupo New Zealand Registered: Aug 2008 posted 08-08-2008 04:33 AM                     thanks but could you tell me what dolby digital ex is??  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-08-2008 09:19 AM                     EX = Has an extra rear channel matrixed in to the rear surrounds.  |  IP: Logged Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-08-2008 10:18 AM                        quote: Chris Slycord EX = Has an extra rear channel matrixed in to the rear surrounds. Was this meant to be a center ch between the existing rear surrounds or a new surround ch behind the existing surrounds moving the existing surrounds forward?  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 08-08-2008 12:00 PM                     The EX channel is Surround Center.

As far as The Clone Wars, is it just me or is there an incredible amount of dis-interest in this title considering we've less than a week to go before it opens? Caravan Of Courage II?  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 08-09-2008 05:06 AM                     Probably since it looks cheesy as hell. There would be more fanfare if it was released 10 years ago since the animation looks very 80s-90sish.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 08-09-2008 07:17 AM                     quote: John Wilson Caravan Of Courage II? Actually, there was a Caravan of Courage II. It was called EWOKS: THE BATTLE FOR ENDOR. It was slightly less worse than CARAVAN OF COURAGE.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

(And also some that did make it.)  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-09-2008 09:41 AM                        quote: John Wilson The Clone Wars, is it just me or is there an incredible amount of dis-interest in this title considering we've less than a week to go before it opens? I was thinking the same thing. I was amazed there wasn't an enclosure trailer for it with The Dark Knight. As of right now, the most common thing I'm hearing from people over 12 is a sort of eye-rolling comment, "They're making another Star Wars?"  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-09-2008 10:57 AM                     OK, week 5 of The Dark Knight...will we give the largest house to TDK or this Star Wars knock-off? Methinks it will be TDK.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-09-2008 11:13 AM                        You picked well John. I am told that Lucas is pulling the same nonsense with Drive-Ins as he has done with his other SW titles, demanding his own absurd booking terms. He's even questioning indoors that don't meet what he considers "fair grosses," whatever that is. Me thinks he will be happy if he gets any grosses off this no-interest bomb. Hey, is this in 3D? Wasn't he the one gonna go back and 3Dize all his OLD stuff? But not his new stuff? Makes about as much sense as everything else he's done.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 08-09-2008 02:46 PM                     quote: John Wilson I ignore the existence of any Star Wars film that doesn't make it to the cinema screen. Here in the states, CARAVAN OF COURAGE didn't make it into theaters either. I saw this today at one of those crazy promo-screenings where they give out passes on the radio and stuff. It's not bad at all. The audience reaction was generally positive, but not overwhelming.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Well if you remember, this movie is really a tee-vee show that is being released in theatres because that's the best way to release something. I'm just surprised there's not more promotional effort from Warners behind it...unless they signed away most of their profit to George (likely) and don't give a crap.  |  IP: Logged
