So when I first heard about this showing at the Academy, I scoffed and said there was no way they were getting the original, because no one ever got the original. At the time I didn’t know about the 70mm factor. I watched the live stream video of the panel and enjoyed it. But then…then I heard that the print shown not only WAS the original edition, but it was also in 70mm! And I completely missed out on the opportunity.
Some day, universe. Some day.

This reminds me all too much of that time I noticed a new thread on these very forums with a title having something to do with a screening in Baltimore … and didn’t even bother clicking on it since I didn’t want to get my hopes up and have them dashed for the umpteenth time.
Naturally, that was the now infamous IB Tech screening at the Senator Theater on its last day under those owners. I couldn’t believe I’d inadvertently passed up such an occasion. Baltimore was barely an hour away from me, and I totally would’ve made the trip had I known in advance.
