Because that is the correct answer, though I imagine it would have played a bit Abbott and Costelloish.
This link is required in response.

Also tell her that The Who did not record a song called "Teenage Wasteland"

Although it probably won't come up since it is not in the movie

Um, just what exactly is Quintophonic sound? It would seam ironic for a group who did a piece called Quadrophenia to have a movie in Quintophonic, which I'm pretty sure was made up in the last week.

I was curious earlier and did some (very brief) research. Quintaphonic (notice that the original link spelt it rong) was something used for the movie Tommy only (or mostly only). From here:
Quote:
The QS matrix system was employed to create the five-channel Quintaphonic Sound system used for première engagements of the 1975 film Tommy. The left and right 35mm magnetic soundtracks were QS-encoded to create four channels around the cinema audience, while the centre mag track was assigned to the speaker behind the screen. The mag FX track was unused. This channel layout came close (5.0) to the later usage in video 5.1 surround sound.
Basically, it was the quadrophonic soundtrack with a fifth track for the voices in the movie.

I got tickets this morning, so we'll be there

Sadly we can't make it now. If anyone wants to go I'll email you our tickets. Just PM me your info.

I was going to watch my DVD tonight with the surround speakers hooked up. (The most recent DVD release is mixed to recreate the Quint-O-Phonic experience.) Alas, I've been called out to do a mystery show - so I can't quite join y'all in sympathetic movie viewing, but I'm anxious to hear what you think of the movie. I don't meet too many people who are neutral about it.

Quint-O-Phonic: A sound system for salty old shark hunters.

flippyshark - It's tomorrow night - so you can still 'join' us.

I see at the event link that Ken Russell's name is no longer mentioned, just "surprise guests." I really hope y'all get to see him. He isn't in the best of health, but he's still sly and funny. (Hope he's okay.)
