Tell me if this is weird, they announced IMAX 3D today for Thor, but I've had tickets for my local IMAX theater (that I bought off Fandango) since last Thursday.

 

[Vartha]

I don't think that's too weird, I mean the theaters knows what they order along time before it gets there. Sounds like a bit of late advertising to me, almost like they didn't want to take away from what is on that screen right now.

 

[IronMan_MarkV]

Either way, it made me go back and double check my order to make sure it was IMAX 3D as opposed to IMAX or 3D.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I meant him as an example on the good end of the spectrum, playing insane the right way. And yeah, Jigsaw in Warzone was like a really bad, hammy, forced brooklyn version of Nicholson's Joker.

 

[Vartha]

Either way, it made me go back and double check my order to make sure it was IMAX 3D as opposed to IMAX or 3D.

AH ok gotcha! Well with Thor I'd worry if you wanted to see 2D over 3D since they have advertised the 2d being in select theaters.
By the way do not forget to bring a handi-Wipe alcohol cloth. I don't trust ANY theater's cleaning of those glasses. Not that I don't trust my theater for doing their job but after a study of glasses about 5 months ago I don't trust ANY of them.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, they didn't even have a 2d option in my cineplex, and it's a huge cinema, they normally offer both. I hope it's not too distracting, although my friend said it was the best 3D upconversion he'd ever seen. Apparently it was almost hard to tell the difference between it and proper 3D camera shot films.

19 hours until i'm in the cinema, bracing for geekgasm!

 

[piccolo]

I wonder if there's any way to find out where the largest screen in your area is.

I'M JEALOUS too!!! GAH we gotta wait!!!!

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I'll be sure to give you my thoughts Vartha, and maybe some info that will keep you going until the release :P

Joy, I just heard that IMAX has closed in South Africa. Of course, I'm a bit slow, it closed down last year June. But what a crap bit of news to hear less than 3 weeks from Thor!

 

[Vartha]

I don't know Pic. IMAX is normally the larger screens and there are Theaters that play IMAX film but aren't IMAX size.
The theaters in my area are your average multiplex sized screens. Closest IMAX is 3 hours away for me.

GAH

General Audience Haters?
General Audience Hopefuls
General Audience Happiness?

What do you MEAN!!!!!!!!

That stinks Bren. Kind of reminds me of when I lived north of Chicago and the closest Drive-Inn theater closed. I enjoyed that place. They had the modern transmitters for your car speakers and stereo.

 

[terry78]

Is something going on here?

Lol yeah, I know what you mean about the glasses. I'm covered in that regard because I wear eyeglasses anyway, and I always carry around those cleaning wipes in my pocket.

Though the glasses at my theater are a lot better now than the kind they had when I saw Avatar in 2009. Those were more like goggles and they would fog up and be sweaty after 10 minutes of having them on. So imagine how many people saw Avatar and had to put that same pair on, regardless of cleaning it's like would you wear some stranger's underwear even if you were told they were washed?

I probably just need to take a pair of the 3D glasses home after a movie, thoroughly wash them and use the same pair everytime I go see an IMAX movie.

It's not so much the sweat I'm turned off from. The study that was done basically showed that people took them too the wash room or didn't wash their hands afterwords.

 

[IronMan_MarkV]

You're supposed to wash your hands?

 

[Vartha]

You're supposed to wash your hands?

lol yeah if you go to the CAN you wash your hands. The study showed signs of FECES on those glasses.

 

[Bren]

If you need to be told this, then let me finish the training by telling you you use the basin to wash in, not the bowl. Otherwise the purpose is defeated t:.

Yeah, exactly. There's an imax theater in a place around me i've been to a few times, saw Iron Man 2 there, and its in no way as big as I expected. I may have to do some scouting beforehand and narrow it down between theaters.

 

[IronMan_MarkV]

And all this time I've been wiping my hands off on the people who were sitting in front of me during the movie.

No wonder no one ever wants to share popcorn with me.
