Well, if you want to see what a "Cinema Video Projector" looks like, ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) go and see the latest "Mr Bean Goes on Holiday" film at the cinema, its brilliant, near the end he barracades himself in the projection room at the Cannes film festival, and swaps over from the most boring film ever screened, ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) to his home video camera, showing the results of his holiday trip across France instead, much to the appreciaton of the audience, using the Kinoton DCP70 video projector, while the poor old 35mm in the background ![[Frown]](frown.gif) is spilling film all over the ground, "Mr Bean Goes on Holiday" to France, is one of the funniest films I have seen in a long while, one thing that came across in the film was how nice the French countryside looked, ![[Smile]](smile.gif) this is a must see film, "Mr Bean" at his best, any one else seen it?

Whats this nobody seen "Mr Bean Holiday" Tut Tut ![[Wink]](wink.gif) I watched it a second time today thats the advantage of being a cinema projectionist you get to see movies there is a scene at the Cannes film festival where the director of the most boring film ever, breaks into the projection room and kicks this large Kinoton video projector, and shouts "where is the projectionist" this made me but also reminded me that I was not in the projection room, but instead at the back of one of our cinemas watching "Mr Bean", while I had forgotton all about the other films finishing elswhere Tut, Tut, a case of on screen fiction becoming fact, for those who like musicals at the end "Mr Bean" finishes the film with a large scale number with hundreds of extras on the beach, I bet mostly holiday makers getting involved for a bit of fun, a most enjoyable film, my son said to me today, Dad I guess you will buy the DVD when it comes out?, you bet.

This is a good one, Rowan Atkinson is brilliant, very clever, we have a Russian working at the cinema, and prior to its release told me the trailer looked stupid, well I caught him coming out of the cinema yesterday with a smile,"now that takes something" he said very funny, and pointed out to me that the kid that shares the journey with Mr Bean speaks Russian very well ,interesting, english subtitles put in for the rest of us, the film has an excellent supporting cast.

Surprised its another 6 months before its release in North America is that normal, and is it the same in the US?.

Thats interesting, English films generally do well out here sometimes better than big budget Hollywood productions. One film "The Queen" starring Helen Mirren, only ran in the larger multi-plexes for a short time, later we landed up with a print, and with little advertising, this film has done very well. Mr Bean is well known out here, and his new movie has been advertised on TV so it should do OK, its not blockbuster stuff, its just nice to watch a film that makes you smile at life, and does not put anyone down, I think there is a bit of "Mr Bean" in all of us, what do you think?
