With all due respect to the poet laureate of Mopo, I don't
particularly like watching films in 3 projector Cinerama. I do enjoy
watching the films as a quirky, historical experience, but I don't
think it was a very good idea. The seams between the projected images
is too distracting.
Speaking of 2001, I wish I could go to the special event, but I don't
really think I can fly to LA just for that. Maybe Tom can make a
bootleg video of the event and send it to me. Or maybe Rich can do it:)
...which reminds me...off topic...I hate it when people go to a
concert and they hold up their cell phone or mini video recorder or
whatever that thing is. It's very annoying to look at, and they're
just going to end up with a worthless video with awful sound. If they
need a bootleg that bad, they should just bribe the sound man into
letting them plug into the sound board. (I have no idea how much that
would cost.)

Cinerama In Your Living Room
Warner Bros. plans to make home theaters look much like theaters
did a
half century ago with the release of the classic How the West Was
Won,
starring John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda, on Blu-ray
disc in
August. The high-definition video will offer a "SmileBox" version --
essentially making the screen look as if it were curved like an
old Cinerama
screen. Only a handful of features were made in the Cinerama
process,
which featured a screen so large that it wrapped around the
audience's
field of vision, producing a 3D effect. The screen was so large
that it took
three projectors to fill it -- one projecting onto the left third
of the screen,
another the middle, and another the right. Likewise, the movies
were shot
with a special camera that shot the three images simultaneously.
While
nature documentaries and thrill-ride experiences were initially
released in
the Cinerama process, 1962's How the West was Won was the first
feature film to be filmed and projected in the process. Warner Home
Video's Blu-ray release will also include the documentary Cinerama
Adventure.
