Sweeney Todd - 12/21

[innerSpaceman]

I know some people who hate the Dome. Can't imagine why. It's the complete opposite of an unpleasant movie-watching experience to me.

Retro-60's design and Buckminster-Fuller-inspired vast open space. Digital projection on one of the last remaining HUGE MOVIE SCREENS in Los Angeles.

Nowadays, there's only one other screen this big (at the Chinese), and only 2 other venues with fairly large screens (both in Westwood - the Village and the National).


The Dome has the only screen with the 70's-era wraparound effect of a beautiful curve. A lot of cinema purists and people subject to motion sickness hate this curve ... but I LOVE it! It's groovy.

I think it is pre-1970's iSm. I say this because I remember seeing Doctor Doolittle and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Century 20 or 21 theatres in San Jose (Century 21)
I loved the big screen there and Posiden Adventure was awesome, heck even Paint Your Wagon was great on that screen. Sad to see they've replaced it with a flat screen. I know some of the other theatres were split and I think torn down. It's been forever since I was down there (right by Winchester Mystery House).
