@TheStingisBack I recall a similar true story about a relative of Alfred Hitchcock writing a film school essay on him but having him write it and it getting a failing grade.

I can’t remember the documentary it was in, anyone have a clue? The doc was definitely made after 2010.

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@TheStingisBack ”Modern Times” (1936).

@MIT_CSAIL And half a nibble is a ”crumb”?

@SaveYourCinema There’s one 15 minutes from me in Stockholm, Sweden.

@MIT_CSAIL @igor_os777 Somebody forgot to stage the changes with ”git add .”…

@Danimalish “Scope” hasn’t been ~2.35:1 formally since June 1971 (see ANSI PH22.106-1971). From then and forward the value rounded to two decimal places has always been 2.39:1.

I assume you are aware of this matter but I’m writing for the clarity of others reading it.

@florapattinson I may not have an 70mm IMAX place near me but at least one that can run 5-perf 70mm aka Super Panavision 70. Sadly they won’t show this there.

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

The lens looks like a Hasselblad, the film magazine and body like a Mitchell 35mm camera.

This is James, he's a director. You can tell, because of the beret

@Todd_Spence Was the answer “Firelight”?

@jbillinson 2/ Just use a resolution of 3088x2160 and you get ~0.0259% of from the nominal 1.43:1.

The screen won’t be gigantic but with the IMAX marketing they should lean into it, I think enough people would buy something like that for a special edition to be released.

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@jbillinson 1/ I do wish Universal a 1.43:1 Blu-ray.

If 1.375:1 Academy aperture films can get pillar-boxed why couldn’t 1.43:1 IMAX?

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@MrNarci Academy is 1.375:1

I’ve been asking Universal for months without any clear answer or anything resembling confirmation.

This is exactly what pisses me off about this dumb shit

@joshbecker659 Not as fast as film strips. I bought one ~30 minutes after they went up and wasn’t put a virtual waiting room.

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@dennisbhooper It would certainly fit the stereotype of American supersize portions.

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@AlsikkanTV Would be hilarious if someone actually did it.

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@AlsikkanTV *Sound of bootleg cinema operators furiously taking notes*

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@DaleCooper49 So they finally bothered to address their deficiencies in aspect ratio marketing?

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@geoffkeighley No super-sized one in a sound blimp?

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@AstroDesires @xkcd *remove the “cards” part…

[Alex Landherr @AlexLandherr]

@AstroDesires Maybe credit cards @xkcd…?
