I haven't seen a movie in a theater in 2 years. They look like giant big screen TV's now, the contrast is more vibrant with projected film. It's why audiophiles search for the old tube amplifiers. They're so superior to digital in reproducing sound. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I think "a whole generation" is a slight exaggeration. A generation is often thought of as 25 years. By December 2000, there were 15 digital cinema screens in the United States and Canada, 11 in Western Europe, 4 in Asia, and 1 in South America. Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), was created in March, 2002, and is a joint venture of Disney, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal and Warner Bros published the first version (V1.0) of a system specification for digital cinema in July 2005. Many films today are still shot on film, even though they are seldom shown via film in theaters. |

That might be the last one I saw, mid 2017. But it seems like I saw one after that. What other big movie came out that summer. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Saw Tomb Raider last night, what a silly movie. Another 100 pound tiny girl kicking the butt of everybody. The Lara Croft movies about 18 years ago were much better. At least Jolie had a personality. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

aceofspades Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 83 Posts: 2019 | The last movie I saw in the theaters was SAW Too many people checking text messages or talking on their cell phone to deal with - society has become too casual I routinely deal with people stopping at the top of an escalator to check or send a text message -- I assume all these texts are all "medical emergencies" or a solution to a world peace so I have to let them slide |

It was a huge hit, the premise has been copied so many times that the orig is impossible to watch. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I loved that the close up body shots of Angie Dickinson in the shower were of like a 25 year old's body (a nice one at that) -- no way was that Ms. Dickinson's body at that time of her life |
