Have you not seen the size of some of those screens, hun?

Em

They're not fifty foot x thirty foot, which is a small cinema screen.

Biggest screen I've ever seen a movie on (2001: A Space Odyssey, on it's tenth anniversary re-release) was a proper curved screen for 70mm projection. Must have been thirty meters wide x twenty high, curved around. It was almost three dimensional.

If you've seen a big Imax screen, this screen was bigger.

The tag line for the re-release was, "Before Star Wars there was, and always will be, 2001: A Space Odyssey." Kubrick's sly dig at the wannabes. He later helped Ridley Scott with the "first ending" of Blade Runner, by shipping him tens of thousands of feet, offcuts from the beginning of The Shining - the scene where Deckard and Rachel are flying over the forest was shot for the opening sequence, flying over the forests and lakes going up to The Overlook, with Jack in his little VDub.

Kubrick also helped a James Bond director (can't recall which one, John Glenn, Moonraker, maybe), light the set with two submarines in it, because he knew his lighting better than anyone.

Spielberg later went on to film AI, which had been a Kubrick project for about twenty years, using the working screenplay.

Nobody sees movies the way they were meant to be seen, not any more.

It does make a difference. I remember seeing Lawrence of Arabia reissued in the 1980s on a large film screen in LA, and it was a completely different experience from having watched it on TV at home. It was a movie that was filmed to be an immersive experience, and you can't get that watching it on a television, or even on a small movie screen. I have no doubt that it would make 2001 a completely different experience. I saw 2001 as the second film in a double feature that began with Logan's Run, and my 12-year-old brain was still reeling over Jenny Agutter in that filmy aqua dress, so I don't think I quite gave it its due.

I remember sitting watching LofA at a drive-in. There was a light mist and we had to use the wipers every minute or so to clear the windshield. Kinda funny watching them cross the desert desperate for water while we were wishing the rain would stop.

Wow, that's great news. I'm definitely investing in your company now.

Except I can't seem to find it on Bloomberg.

Wait a minute. Emily, were you being sarcastic about being a publically traded company? That's not cool.

 

[gunhilltrain]

Mmmmm ... Jenny.

She's a mature English lady now. I still don't think she would have anything to do with me.

That's the weirdest double feature (especially since 2001 had its own intermission).

But Jenny Agutter... oooo. Gunhill can have the older woman version, but I'm with you on Logan's Run .

It was the first time I saw female nudity in a movie. Made a very strong impression, to say the least.

 

[MrPixel]

Jenny Agutter... Logan's Run...

Hmm. Never saw it in the original release. The blue dress scenes were obviously cut from the "edited for TV" versions. A little searching... ah. Very nice.

 

[bbcbarry9033]

I’ve been told my ass is quite starable. One of my better features.

Em

About that... where is it?

I meant the joke was on me, not her. There are a number of reasons now why I'd be Mister Wrong for a woman of almost any age or social standing. But I accept reality and I'm at peace with it.

 

[gunhilltrain]

Walkabout, swimming in the lagoon, nude.

I have a notable story abut Walkabout. I saw it about three years later at a free City College film viewing. And if you're watching it cold, it's not immediately clear that it's in Australia. The only way I knew is because I had read reviews of it, plus I recognized the arch bridge in Sydney.

So as this thing progresses, I get the feeling that much of the audience was still not sure of the location. But it became clear that the Black members of the audience, especially the men, identified with David Gulpilil because of his skin color. Maybe some of them got that he was an Aborigine, maybe others did not.

Then at the end, when he doesn't get the girl, the Black guys, especially, were absolutely outraged and quite vocal about it. I didn't feel that I was in any physical danger, but the feeling of anger was palpable and I wanted to get out of the room

This pseudo-hippie guy I was with didn't pick up on any of that, and was going on about what a great movie it was. I said something like, "Peter, I think this is a good time for us to leave."

 

[EmilyMiller]

About that... where is it?

It’s kinda on the back of my body, half way up, just above my legs.

Comment deleted for, well for reasons. A technical glitch, actually.

Walkabout, swimming in the lagoon, nude.

Hey, electricblue, since I have your attention, did Walkabout take some artistic liberties? It appears that one could drive from the Sydney to the Outback in a single afternoon (maybe I don't remember it correctly). I'd guess it takes longer than that? Second, were there still Aborigines living like that in the 1970's?
