Hi – I have tickets for Indy at the Dome in Row EE, near the center. I’m a little worried because back when Episode 3 was there, I sat in the 2nd section on the floor, maybe row JJ or so. There was a head blocking part of my view the whole time. It really bummed me out, and I couldn’t really focus on the movie. Since then I’ve pretty much always sat in the first or second row, so I’m not sure what the view is like from Row EE with a full house. Any opinions on Row EE being better than Row JJ in terms of less chance of a blocked view? I realize a really tall person may sit in front of me, but if an average-height person does? I’m thinking standing in line at the Village may be better than having a reserved seat with a possible a blocked view at the Dome. Any opinions would be appreciated.
So, unless there is something I missed, Ironman in the Dome definitely appeared to be digital projection. I saw both the 8PM and the midnight on Thursday and I noticed nothing to indicate film. There were no changeover markers anywhere through the film nor were there any print defects or dirt visible.
BTW, the midnight Dome show was outstanding. During the Arclight’s usual intro to the film, Jon Favreau came running out to thank everyone for coming and apologizing to the audience (originally the midnight show was the first show until they later added an 8PM show, effectively screwing those who wanted to see it first and rushed to buy those midnight tickets). As atonement, he brought out Robert Downey, Jr to a standing ovation. RDJ thanked everyone as well, commenting that he could still remember when you could smoke pot in the Dome and not get in trouble for it. It was a great show and the midnight audience was waayy more pumped up for the show than they were at 8.
But it definitely seemed like digital projection.
Yo, Rizzo! Y'all did a helluva job with “Iron Man!” Sound/Picture were pitch perfect. My film club members had a blast. We can’t wait for Indy!
I always figured as long as we’re talking about movies here, past present or future, it’s fair game. I know what JSA means about some of the other pages getting clogged with hundreds of posts about the old neighborhood, etc., but not necessarily about going to the movies in that neighborhood. The 2nd most posted-about theater on Cinema Treasures, the Ridgewood in Queens NY, is totally undeserving of that high rank if you deleted all the non-movie-related posts from its page.
So, Rizzo, please stay. You’ve NEVER gone off-topic as far as I can see!
Rizzo, you are our unofficial “inside man” at Arclight/The Dome. Screw the haters! We need you!
Rizzo,
I do not imply that this thread should be used exclusively for historical purpose. I value your contributions and comments, and always look forward to know what’s going on with the theatre. My point is that I would not like to see this thread turn into like some of the others in this site, where they have become a depository of high school reunion messages and other topics that have nothing to do with the theater itself. If any offense was taken by you or any of the other contributors to this thread, I sincerely apologize.

Well, I agree 50-50. On one hand, I don’t particularly care if “Iron Man” or whatever will play at the Avco or the Village. That topic belongs elsewhere. But on the other hand, digital projection, regardless of how we feel on the issue, has been part of the Dome’s history for some time now, and will play an even bigger part in its future. So I feel any discussion pertaining to digital projection as related to the Dome is appropriate.

You know, I don’t mean to offend, but this is really irritating – this is supposed to be a board about the Cinerama Dome, and so much of it is about these new films and where they’re doing this and where they’re doing that – and unfortunately all these pointless posts come to my mailbox and take up space until I can delete them.
Here’s an idea – why doesn’t someone start a separate message board for digital projection and what’s showing where and leave this one to posts about the Cinerama Dome and its history.
End of mini-rant. Flame away.
//Isn’t “Iron Man” booked into the Avco, not the Village?
You’re right. The Harold and Kumar flick will still be playing there on Friday. Really bad booking by Paramount.
this is a better way to get to the footage of the re-premiere of It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Isn’t “Iron Man” booked into the Avco, not the Village?
wait I’m confused did Paramount change their minds and are releasing Indy 4 in DLP.
I’m pretty sure the Village will be playing both Iron Man and Indy 4 on their DLP. Should look and sound fantastic.
So no digital showings of Iron Man or Indy 4 in the other theaters either? What happened to those new NEC projectors? Are they just going to sit there all summer long?
The only place to see either film properly is in Westwood, again. Nit thrilled about it either as Indy 4 should’ve been a lock for Grauman’s.
If you are getting a film print the only code is the combo for the lock on the film cans. So what Justin posted about “these reels must be unlocked using a special code for projectionists to put into the projector”, it’s just a combo lock on the film cans. If you get a digital print then there is a code for the system.
I hope the film prints for Ironman and Indy hold true because I have seats for both (Row C for the 8PM and 12:01 Ironmans on Thursday and Row C for the 12:01 and 8:30PM Indys on opening day), but I’ve seen Mission Impossible 3, Blades of Glory, and (I think) Transformers digitally projected in the Dome, so I wonder if this is a new agreement. In fact the only film print I’ve seen recently was the single midnight Simpsons show that ran the Thursday night prior.
the amc near me in rockaway is getting film prints for both films by the studio. Like transformers last year, these reels must be unlocked using a special code for projectionists to put into the projector.
I got mine. 5/23 11:40 PM show.
Will it be film or digital?
fyi everyone. indiana jones 4 tickets just went on sale this morning!
Hi Rizzo:
Any chance for “How the West Was Won ‘ to coincide with Warner’s summer DVD release? I’m new here, so you may have addressed this before. I introduce some of the classic screenings at the Ziegfeld.
Thanks
Gary
Rizzo, are y'all doing any upgrades or fine tuning of sound/picture equipment at The Dome before Iron Man opens? Me and 30 other members of my film club are going to the Friday 5/2 11:45 PM show and, since many of them have never been to The Dome, I hope the presentation will truly knock their socks off!
Sorry, my mistake. It was the AMC Century 15 that showed Da Vinca in 4K.
I saw “Da Vinci Code” at the Dome, and remember the presentation being advertised as 2K & Dolby Digital.
