Why does that not surprise me?  

The old Dew Line installations have been abandoned by the military.  The
facility in Kotzebue, Alaska, just north of the arctic circle was
transferred to the state, and is now am airport controlled by the local
Native Alaskan corporation.  It brings tourism into a small native village
that once was one of the most isolated human settlements in North America.

It's somewhat spoiled for me by the fact that the shadow of the plane on
the ice is rather obviously a B-17.  The B-52 is actually a model shot in
front of a projected background.

On the other hand, I find the sequence of nuclear explosions at the end of
the film one of the most stunning things I've seen; if you don't think about
what you are looking at, the visuals are eerily beautiful.

Trivia:  The B-17 shooting the northern ice pack got into a bit of trouble
for filming too near to a classified military site.

Today I took my wife to see The King and I on a big screen, in a limited
special 60th anniversary showing at selected theaters.

Q few months ago, I attended a big screen showing of Blazing Saddles, with
commentary afterwards by Mel Brooks.  A few weeks prior to that, I was a
big screen showing of The Princess Bride, with commentary by Cary Elwes.

Great movies deserve a big screen.  I have no desire, however, to see Barry
Lyndon, on a big screen, on TV or otherwise.

Coming up soon is a big screen showing of Dr Strangelove. which I
definitely want to see.  The images of the B-52 flying low over the
northern ice pack was a truly memorable cinematic experience, by itself
worth seeing the movie again on a big screen.

The worst movie ever made is still better up on that big screen. It's
something TV, even those behemoths they're selling today can't match.

Don't know if this is going to reach a big screen in Raleigh. Shame if
it doesn't.

Re: OT: Barry Lyndon

I saw "Barry Lyndon" in first release on the big screen (super-wide-screen 
somewhere in Manhattan, NYC) way back when it was new, and was surprised then 
to hear all the negative reviews. I think I went to see it twice then. I've 
seen it many times since in small theater showings and on video releaseā€¦ to me 
it's always been a masterwork. 

I'll have to see if the re-release is showing around here any time soon. Thanks
