All of these people online are dunking on Infinity Vision for being a fake IMAX format when the reality is that half of these Infinity Vision screens are better than IMAX to begin with. They just don’t have brand recognition.

Remember how 60 years ago STAR TREK had an episode about a planet whose inhabitants’ technology to create convincing fake shit was so advanced that the Federation decided no one could visit that planet and doing so was punishable by death?

Posting an image of a 35mm print from a film as “ground truth” for color and tone is almost always ridiculous. Even brand new release prints vary from print to print, and prints deteriorate over time in different ways for various reasons. Plus the variables that exist when scanning a print.

Many theatres do have a Discount Tuesday (we charge $6 instead of $9). It’s certainly a challenge to get studios to release those mid-budget movies that the industry used to live and die by.

Mike Schindler @mumbles3k.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

Contagion is my number one Thanksgiving movie, but a close second is Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno. It does take place throughout December, but starts on Thanksgiving weekend. One of the few movies which fairly accurately portrays Blackout Wednesday.

Of note, the aspect ratio of One Battle After Another for home viewing is 1.78:1, which is yet a 5th aspect ratio for the film, but in keeping with the idea of filling a screen which is any dimension between 1.50 and 1.90.

Mike Schindler @mumbles3k.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

This goes to my theory that the best book on the comic rack is the Previews catalog. (That being said, the idea of Star Wars movie directed by Soderbergh is right up there with the idea of a Star Trek movie directed by QT. Elite-level unmade movie)

I love how excited people are about the NIN score for Tron. I love that they have their logo on the poster, etc. I think they should do that for all of their movies. Like, if I saw a NIN logo on the poster for After the Hunt, I would 100% see that movie on opening day in IAB.

Yeah, but at the same time, if you told me I could watch Mandalorian in a theater on a weekly basis, I’d do that in a heartbeat.

Mike Schindler @mumbles3k.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

I think the criticisms of the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer are a bit unfair. It’s not that it looks like a TV show. It’s that it doesn’t look distinguishable from THE TV show. But that show has a very high production value and looks like a movie. Also, I’ll always root for Dave Klein.

I’m going to say I’m in the top 1% of Star Trek In2 Darkness fans, but since 2009, I’ve been saying that Naveen Andrews should’ve been cast as Khan in that movie. Listening to the Khan pod fills me with Khan-like rage that he wasn’t.

It is straight up insane to me that the original version of Star Trek TOS is not available on Paramount+ or even VOD. Even crazier that no one complains about it.
