Digital Cinema: Ireland's movie theaters
to convert within a year?
Digital Cinema: Ireland's movie theaters
to convert within a year?
03/22/2005 04:59 PMXeni Jardin:
The current issue of
Wired
Magazine includes a feature I wrote about digital cinema --
interviewees include d-cinema evangelist and Landmark Theatres owner
Mark Cuban; filmmaker James Cameron; and hardware makers including
Texas Instruments and Sony. It's not online yet, but I'll be posting
related news clips here on Boing Boing, and will blog the
Wired
piece as soon as it's up.
Today: news of a planned digital cinema network throughout the
Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, with the ambitious goal of
converting all of the country's movie theaters to digital format
within about a year.
"The digital projection offers picture-perfect quality and significant
cost savings," says Moira Horgan, the head of marketing for the Irish
Film Board. "The boxes are being inserted as we speak."
Avica Technology is bringing the digital presentation systems to 515
screens throughout Ireland to run alongside traditional 35mm film
projectors, says Kevin Cummins, spokesman for Avica Europe, the
European arm of the Santa Monica, California, digital cinema
technology and services company.
"Digital can reduce the cost of distribution, eliminating the need for
costly reels of film that need to be printed, delivered, collected
once the cinema is done showing the movie, and then destroyed,"
Cummins says. "From the (average viewer's) point of view, digital
provides picture-perfect quality. The movies just look a lot better,
from the first showing through to a thousand showings."

Any Upcoming Robot Movie News?
Any Upcoming Robot Movie News?
12/29/2003 11:53 PMTonight we went and saw Elf. The kids loved it, but there wasn't any
Jesus came as a baby to bring Salvation message in it *cough*the real
meaning of
Christmas*cough* so I didn't care
for the movie as much as they did. Well anyway, while on the way out
of the theatre I saw a poster for the
new IRobot movie. I know that this isn't earthshattering news, but
hey, the IRobot movie
now has its own website according to the poster. Actually, the
website has
probably been around a while but, well, I finally just noticed it, so
I thought I'd
share. Looking at the website, I wonder if they're trying to do some
sor of weird before the movie stuff like the AI movie did? Like what
does it really mean when they say, "What are you going to do with
yours?" Also, In other movie news, now that Arnold Swartzenegger is
now gov of CA anyone want to take a guess as to whether the remake of
WestWorld is still a go? I'm guessing
probably not but one can still have some elf holiday spirit hope,
can't they?

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience
Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience
03/22/2005 05:03 PMYesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were
whini
ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting
their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize
that going to the movies is a
social experience. It's not just
about the content (though, that is important), but the overall
experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go --
even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap
DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to
entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that
story pointed to an article in China noting that
this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done.
After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made
going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience,
putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved
the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made
some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away
from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in
Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.
