Posts from itdo in thread „Ireland Goes Digital“

    I'd like to ask our friends over in Ireland what they think about the change their moviehouses are about the make.


    Ireland was chosen, so I read, to be the first country whose cinemas are to be completely reconstructed to show digital films. Meaning, the good old 35mm stuff is out, and there will be high-tech-beamers projecting the picture.


    Hollywood is very influental in this because they hope to start their films worldwide the same day (take the money and run!), and they would save the dough to make the fine 35mm-copies. Of course, old film buffs would hate to see 35mm go - which, until today, is still the best material for a razorsharp picture.


    What do you think - and did you already experience digital films in Ireland?
