having a bit of a whinge

Just over at theForce.net to see what they'd done for April Fools.

I take it the days of their fun headers and stuff are gone? They didn't seem to do anything for St Patrick's Day either. *sigh* Pity, their thematic headers were always so much fun.

Scrolling down I noticed a poll which asked which version of ROTS fans would go to - the standard one or the LONGER digital version.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Like I have the OPTION.

But at least I know I'll be MISSING something now.

*seethes*

Nope, no digital cinemas. And we only have 2 IMAXes - one here in Melbourne and one in Sydney. Actually, there might be one on the Gold Coast (near Brisbane QL) - WBros has Movie World there - but I'm not sure. I haven't heard of one there.
I hear about you guys getting to see Star Wars and Harry Potter at IMAX and am pea-green! They only show documentaries on ours. :~( (it's attached to the Museum here)

Theres an Imax at Southbank in Bris. The theatre at Movieworld is pitiful.
About Hayden on Rove, missed the interview but he was partnered with Corrine at charades and the stuff she had to act out was stuff a Canadian like him wouldnt know (like a fast bowler etc). He however had good ones, and executed them well and Corrine got them. He had Straw, crane, and erm others I cant remember, but it was really funny. They also had a really big preview of Ep 3, which i also missed.Anyway, those products you saw werent meant to be released- I wish our shops were as Lax! people are queing at Toys'R' Us in the U.S as we speak waiting for that stuff, probably dressed as Wookies!

They're advertising that new 'Robots' film as 'ALSO AT IMAX' - so perhaps it is, here in Melbourne? It would feel odd, though, having commercial films released on IMAX.

What am I saying - I saw Fantasia 2000 at IMAX here. It was great. So there is the capability for them to show it.

I wonder why they didn't put a digital cinema in ACMI? That's pretty new.

I've never been to IMAX myself. Gets a bit pricey when you're taking 4 kids @ $20+ea. Not to mention the adult tickets. ;~P Still, I imagine it would be cool for the big blockbusters.

Showing my ignorance here but... ACMI? Where's that?
