Digital Projection

I just noticed that Tinseltown here in Baton Rouge now has a digital projector, and is currently showing "Oceans' 12" on it. I don't know if it is a test projector, or something that they will keep. It may not be too much of a difference on "12", but there will definitely be a huge difference in ROTS and other major special effect blockbusters shot on digital cameras. I remember when AOTC came out, there were only like 12 of these projectors in the country, and the Dallas guys were telling us that the digital projection was their favorite viewing experience for AOTC. Hopefully, this equipment is a permanent addition to Tinseltown and be available for several viewings of ROTS this spring.

 

Awesome, i know where i'll be watchin it.

 

It turns out to not be a digital projector, but just a new (regular) projector. The Fandango site had it wrong. The manager said that digital projection equipment is still way too expensive, and there are only a few places that have it.

 

Dammit. I know where I won't be watching it then.

 

Oh well, some day they will come to Louisiana. I just fear that day is a couple days behind everyone else's.

Louisiana will probably be the last ones to get a digital theater! I was hoping the Grand would be digital, but....
