IMAX Theaters to Ditch Film, Use Digital DLP Projectors

IMAX and Texas Instruments announced they will be working together to transition IMAX from a film-based projection format to a DLP-based technology instead. Starting in the middle of 2008, all new IMAX projectors will include the digital DLP technology and eliminate the need for elaborate film-based projector setups currently found in IMAX Theaters. This raises the question: which billionaire will be the first to have a digital IMAX theater installed in his mega mansion? More »

Batcave Home Theater is an Ideal Location to Make Out With Catwoman

Q: What could possibly be better than making out with Catwoman? A: Making out with Catwoman in a Batcave inspired home theater. Although the guys at Elite HTS may not be able to help you pinpoint Catwoman, they have done a hell of a job at recreating the Batcave for your movie viewing/making out pleasure.

Russian Theater Blocks Cellphone Signals

We've been bouncing around the idea of a theater cellphone ban for some time now, but it is good to see an actual theater in Russia going through with it. The expensive devices were installed in Russia's oldest theater recently. Over here in the states it's not so easy for this to happen. No matter how many warning and ads are before a movie requesting cellphones to be turned off, a few still manage to go off throughout the show. I'm all for using devices to hinder a cellphone connection, but the FCC—not so much. What if Joe Blow's crackwhore wife overdoses again while he is watching Dukes of Hazard? How would he ever know and be able to get her to the hospital on time? Anyway, hit the poll below and let us know what you think of a cellphone ban in theaters of all types. More »

Movie Theaters Apply Tourniquet, Attempt to Show Live 3D Sports

Is it just me or does this sound like the death knell for movie theaters? For those not in the know, we are no longer going to the movies. In fact, we're so not going to the movies that movie theatres are planning on showing live 3D sports during the week so, I don't know, you can leave work and go sit in a movie theater with glasses on for two hours? Well, there's going to be beer and hot dogs, but WTF? More »
