Well folks if you haven't gone to the movies for a while, go and see this one, its very funny. Move over Daniel Craig as "Bond" and let "Mr Bean" Rowan Atkinson take over [Big Grin] he is much much better.

Excellent 35mm Scope print and sound [Smile] Oh! stay right through the end credits, there is a brilliant sketch where Johnny English/Mr Bean [Big Grin] does a bit of preparing the vegetables to the music of "The Hall of the Mountain King"

Hi Nick
Sorry to read that you were stuck with a digital presentation [Frown] hope you watched those end credits [Smile] We are in the middle of the school holidays and apart from the "Smurfs" Johnny English has been a real hit. I have put a sign up next to the door of the cinema thats running it informing folk that there is something to watch right at the end....the downstairs staff dont like it as there is only 15 minutes for cleaning between screenings so they have been hiding it [Smile]

Are most of the cinemas in the UK gone the digital way?... [Frown]

Talking about credit (end) title, is it compulsory in NZ to play till the end of it or sometime you ca turn the projector off if you think it is too boring and no one left in the cinema. What is the rule over there?

Hi Winbert
I have not come across anything writen that states that its compulsory to run the end credits if no one is in the cinema, however in the past I have been to other cinemas that have closed the projector dowser on folk during the end credits. That kind of thing really bugs me and in the past somone did just that at the place where I work. They did not know I along with others were still watching the screen from the back. I did visit the projection room afterwards for an explanation and said "dont do that again" let the projector and the automation do its thing...leave alone.

The thing is Winbert people pay to go to the movies and the end credits is part of it and often a few people will watch it to the end so its not up to the projectionist to decide "thats all folks" before its finished in my view that looks bad.

A few years ago I got a call from downstairs that a certain lead actress was watching a movie we were running that she was in. Imagine what would happen to the projectionist if the credits had been cut short. The thing is, you never know who is still down there watching [Smile]

Graham.

Hi Graham, thanks for your sympothetic words, [Big Grin] I did'nt get to see the end credits as the girlfriend wanted to leave as the credits rolled, [Roll Eyes] anyway I do plan on watching it again soon as my local single screen still runs 35mm at the moment so will get to watch it an propper film.
I think now most of the multiplex cinemas over here now are digital appart from the odd few I know of like Liverpool Odeon multiplax which has combined digital/35mm/IMAX.
Worcester vue multiplex etc.
I did notice in the digital cinema that when the adverts and trailers were running,every now and again there would be a slight pause you know like you sometimes get when running a dvd like a split second pause in layering.
