Film and cinema

Even back in the days of VHS I hated this format as it cut of half the screen on many features.


I love the whole thing 2.35 Widescreen with 7.1 sound buttered popcorn and a large soda.

I am an expert on the subject it's not even funny.

What I would love in my back garden.

Hey! Who posted a picture of my theatre room?

Ah, yes. The good ol' days. I remember the very time I'd ever seen an outdoor movie theatre.

I was living in Trinidad and Tobago at the time. I was around 8 years old. I was walking along the beach one day when I saw a group of people running towards something. I asked why were they running. They told me a movie was showing. I had no idea what they were talking about so I followed along. When I got there about 50 people or so were standing around an outdoor small makeshift theatre watching a projection of a Burt Lancaster film. I remember who was in it because I'd arrived about 10 minutes towards the end and I'd read the credits. Typical aspie, right?! I was the shortest one there so I had to strain to see over the heads of the standees. Still, at that moment, I was entranced with film forever.

Up until then, the only time I'd been to a movie, or seen one for that matter, was five years earlier when I'd seen part of The Nutty Professor at the Ascot Cinema on Eastern Main Road. I went bawling out into the lobby when I saw Jerry Lewis violently transforming! Classic.

I love movies. What sort of film and cinema things do you latch onto? Is it cinema history or, like, an extremely eclectic knowledge of films?
