Their minds at the POP are still trying to grasp having been blown last weekend after having attended a "Larger than Life" giant-screen showing at the Pendleton satellite of The Rolling Stones Live at the MAX.

Granted it was an 8-perf/70mm vertical-pull reduction of the original 15/70 horizontal IMAX strip (because that's all they're equipped to run over there) so it isn't *as* sharp as the larger version, but it's still capable of producing outstanding results. Even 8/70 still gives far higher-quality images when projected onto a screen of any considerable size than good old 4/35 (but that's pretty obvious).
It's too bad 70mm never really caught on as the "de facto" cinematic film standard. Sure beats this anamorphic 35mm crap we seem to have to live with.
