Thanks for the lengthy reply. I find the entire film/digital debate fascinating, honestly. On the point above, you're absolutely right. My particular 70mm-capable theatre isn't showing this anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. I really wish I got a chance to see it that way, but I'm not so lucky. If the roadshow was extended an extra week, I'd then be able to catch it in Houston. Oh well.

In regard to my comments about 8K, I fully understand the impossibility of it today, because of the cost and time involved. I hope to see it happen in my lifetime (meaning, a movie shot, edited, and distributed totally in 8K with no 2K, 4K, or 6K DI), but I'm not necessarily counting on it. Something like that would be marvelous, and (possibly) just as beautiful as something shot on 70mm. It would take a director like James Cameron to make that happen sooner than later, but he's too busy post-converting his movies to 3D and (is he still?) planning for Avatar 2 to be 60fps. Two 'specs' I don't give a shit about personally. But the time/cost/data involved in those endeavors probably still doesn't compare to the cost of going all-in on 8K. I just think it's a more meaningful goal than those things, even if the average person doesn't care.

Back to Hateful Eight... I'm hoping to catch it next Thursday... in boring old 2K

Great article on the technical nature of the Roadshow for anyone interested.

Glad you got tickets for tomorrow though!

And knowing Tarantino, that version won't ever come out for home viewing.

In this interview with Quentin Tarantino & Paul Thomas Anderson, at around 30:43 he talks about getting Ennio Morricone on board and how the score is more a Horror film score, as opposed to a Western.

I had the same thought. He keeps saying digital is "television in public" so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the wide release is the home version.

But a thought I've had about QT and all those VHS tapes he saw (and now owns) from Video Archives: A shitload of them must have been cropped to 4:3. So I wonder if a lot of the movies he saw were in the wrong AR.

Sounds like it's time to finally de-triplex the theater if they're selling out the resulting smaller auditorium!

Mondo Kane

Sold out today again too (My first time at that theater. Had no idea how archaic that place is)
The programs are snazzier than I expected and I didn't think there would still be any left over from yesterday, but they still had a lot. I picked up 2 more from some guys who left theirs behind

The centerfolds of the programs all contain different cast members. I didn't realize that until I saw different ones posted via Instagram.

I'm seeing it again in 70mm tomorrow night, so I hope I get Daisy this time.

Mondo Kane

Yeah, the first copy I got had Gage as the centerfold. The two I picked up from the ground had Bob. Who did you, or anyone else here, get?

I'd LOVE to see the roadshow again, asap. But I can't find another time on the schedule to make it again. But, at least, 2 more viewings for the wide release are certainly in my future.

Bob

Brooklyn

Tim Roth and Sam Jackson. Didn't notice they were different until this afternoon. Would have liked Russell and Leigh.

asianxcore

I got Bob.

Mondo Kane

Lots of Bobs going around!

What a score you got with Jackson (Sam outdid himself with this movie) The Russell one looks good. You can see it at 5:46 here


Yet I'm partial to the Michael Madsen one because it goes with my "Mr. Blonde" disc, I guess.

Breakfast with Girls

I got Russell.

RagingBull80

I got Goggins.

I'm completely happy with that considering I loved him in the second half of the movie.

Decker

I got Gage (Madsen). My friend got Russell.

Looks like I'm seeing the 70mm Roadshow at least 2 more times this week.

Two of my best friends wanted to go so I have tickets for tonight in San Francisco and then going back to Oakland on Wednesday for another screening.

My wife and I both got SLJ.

asianxcore, thanks for posting the QT/PTA interview. Two filmmakers that I have an incredible amount of admiration and respect for. PTA's Magnolia is amazing!! And QT's films are 'must-see' multiple times offerings that I truly cherish as I know that the well will soon run dry after #10. Tarantino's enthusiasm for and knowledge of cinema is truly mind-blowing and infectious for movie lovers of all ilks.

I got Daisy. Did I got lucky? Her face doesn't look that bloody in that picture.

inri222

The JJL graphic nudity scene was awesome.

asianxcore

No problem! I also love them both and it was a great interview. I appreciate how spoiler-free it was (regarding 'The Hateful Eight').

I think so! I went to see it again in 70mm with one my best friends and almost everyone we saw at our screening got Oswaldo or Bob.

My friend, knowing how much I wanted Daisy in the program, asked one of the ushers if she could trade mine in for a Daisy. Both ushers looked through their stacks and it was all Oswaldo & Bob. During the Intermission, one of them stopped my friend and said she found 2 Daisy Programs and gave them to her. So happy about all of that

Seeing it on Wednesday for the 3rd time in 70mm with another one of my best friends!

bluetoast

My friend who arrived before the rest of us got a Daisy. The other six of us got Oswaldo.

Pointyskull

I got Mannix.

I didn't even look at the program until I got home. Had I known I would have tried to see if I could snagged a different one...
