Wide screen -- very wide screen

[drscott]

So we went down to San Jose to see Harry Potter and the The Prisoner of Azkaban at the IMAX at the Tech Museum. We'd managed to miss it first time round, so it sounded like fun, since we'd never seen anything but Fantasia in IMAX (on that occasion, Andy bought the entire showing for his friends and members of the square dance club, and made a touching speech on behalf of his friend Joe-the-barber.)

Well, there is such a thing as too wide a screen and too much resolution. You could see pores in Harry's nose, and when conversations happened across the width of the screen, you had to pingpong your head back and forth to watch the faces in turn. Something bigger than regular theaters but smaller than IMAX would be great....

That doesn't sound fun. Maybe I need to stop wishing that gay porn was made in IMAX format. :-)

IMAX porn would be great for size queens! Yikes.
