Not interested in seeing it again, only because I’ve seen so many times already. I still love them.
I wonder what this means:
This all-day “Star Wars” extravaganza features a showing of the original film trilogy (“A New Hope,” “Empire Strikes Back” and “Return Of The Jedi”) on original 35mm prints, a special digital presentation of “The Force Awakens” (Episode VII) along with special features “Spaceballs” at noon and a midnight showing of the space horror classic “Alien” (both on original 35mm print).
Of course, it could just be lazy journalism and/or word count filler.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
Or original '97 Special Edition prints.

Or original '97 Special Edition prints.
What I meant is it could mean something, or alternatively nothing. Made no claims as to what said something is

I’ve seen so man times already. I still love them.
No one’s interested in your sexual preferences.

Sorry about that meant “many” that’s the 115’th time I did that I think
No one’s interested in how many times you get your freak on, either.
Really, I think the only way I won’t at least look into going to this is if it’s the Lowry versions. If it truly is 1997 prints, I’m certainly interested, but if it turns out to be digital I’d also consider it just to check out the new transfer, provided the price is right.

Hey do you like the 2004 editions?
No one does.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???

I emailed my local (well, most local) Alamo and this was the response i got:
[…]
It has definitely NOT been cancelled. Our corporate offices are currently preparing web posts with updated information about the show. […] Due to slightly bizarre screening legalities, the STAR WARS films cannot be played at primary movie-screening venues like the Alamo so that’s why we are forced to think a bit outside the box on this one.Tickets will go on sale sometime on May 4; we don’t have an exact time pinned down for that quite yet.
When we know more specifics, we’ll be sure to let everyone know. But it’s still moving forward, so fear not! For that is the path to the Dark Side. 😉
My friend tells me he found that they will be digital projections, so get ready for the 2004 SE again.

Unless they’re some new transfer. Why would they have explicitly called it '97 otherwise?
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
Starts with an “M” and ends with a “istake?”
Because even Alamo Drafthouse doesn’t know the nuances behind the 4 different SE’s.

Jeez, the prospect of a “fancy” type theater showing one of the most famous movies of all time on a highly publicized tour… digitally projected in 2K is, well, not only depressing, but embarrassing.
If there’s one thing that points to any optimism on this issue (and more specifically, the potential for the adoption of Legacy), it’s that within a few years a large subset of consumers are going to expect 4K even on home media, and Lucasfilm literally cannot provide it now, even for f**king cinemas.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
A lot of these early 4k home video releases are movies that were mastered in 2k and upscaled (HDR and less compression is the selling point there). We’re already compromising.

Did I miss a post this was responding to, saying the screenings are cancelled?
Because that is what I found out today.
I was going to post in this thread earlier because I work for a (non-Alamo) theater, and we were set to screen all of the films.
The story is Lucasfilm said no when they heard Fox has ok’d these screenings (apparently without consent from Lucasfilm).
How it is even possible to make a “mistake” at that level, no one knows.
Again, my theater isn’t part of Alamo. However, we absolutely obtained the right to screen the films through the appropriate channels (the only channel). Only they didn’t check first with Lucasfilm??
Sorry to be bearer of bad news, but I doubt anyone - including Alamo chain - is going to be screening the films.
