As Regal turns up their video pre-show systems, do their theatres need Movietunes anymore? If not, that would sure take a chunk out of the company income.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 06-10-2003 04:12 PM                        While Signature Theatres in Hawaii still use MovieTunes, Consolidated dropped it some time ago and they have an exclusive one that was created locally and features two popular radio personalities, Augie and Lanai. The music format is contemporary Hawaiian. In my opinion, it is much better than Movietunes. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-10-2003 04:49 PM                        I recently heard MovieTunes without center channel information in one theatre recently. It drastically improved it. The annoying announcer was no longer audible most of the time and the lead vocal was either not present, or weakened significantly in most songs, giving the music more appropriate for ambience than "in your face". Taking out the center channel is the best improvement you can make to MovieTunes. I think a revised review should be posted for "MovieTunes without Center Channel" with a higher rating.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-10-2003 05:15 PM                        while you're taking out the center channel, kill the left and right as well and be done with it. ugh. carl  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-10-2003 09:39 PM                        I was being mildly facetious and humorous. It was interesting how two wrongs came together to made something better than everything running optimally. MovieTunes is wrong. Wiring a system so that the center channel doesn't play for non-sync is wrong. However, the two wrongs combine to make a result that is more pleasant than when there is just one wrong (MovieTunes).  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 06-11-2003 12:47 AM                        quote: Regal's "The 2Wenty" continues to use MovieTunes in the background Just an aside here... Seems Regal could just feed this kind of material over "the net", thereby eliminating the need for CD players and disk distribution to all their properties... but they probably thought of that!  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

No discs are necessary.  |  IP: Logged
