Atlanta as well here. If the fox would do it I will be there. As it is I'm hoping for the Mall of Georgia's IMAX to pick it up. That'd be great

What part of Dallas do you live in?

I have opened a gaming shop in Mesquite Tx. Near the intersection of I30 and Loop 635. Have magic cards, role playing games, a LAN. Also there are gaming tables every day and a private gaming room. The webpage is still under construction but check it out at www.keepflyinggames.com
Thanks.

You're awesome, Haslinger. That cracks me up.

I went to Atlanta for a viewing party the Feb. after cancellation and would go again for a premiere party at the Fox. That is, if you extend invites.

Not as funny as Haslinger, but semi-funny: I have a cousin who's getting married next April. It's really on the tip of my tongue to say, "Beginning of the month, please. I have fandom."

Right on. We should band together...get some sort of shiny premeir party together. Isn't there a drive in around Atlanta? I know that's not ideal for sound, but imagine the dynamic. Especially if we could get enough to set up the shindig for almost nothing.

Is there anyone in Atlanta that can help with this? I haven't been there in years is that theater still there?

There is a drive-in called the Starlight just south of Atlanta on Hwy 42 (aka US-23/Moreland Avenue/Briarcliff Rd - why do we give roads 9000 names nowadays?). Has 10 screens I believe. That would be a fun atmosphere, but you're right about sound. My vote is still for an IMAX. I would love to see Serenity go gliding by on that giant screen.

We have an Imax but it is limited to science films only. Do they show all the films on an IMAX or just the bigger summer movies. Cause an Imax print would cost a good bit. I, as much as it pains me to say this, feel that Universal may not fork out the cash for such a print.

You're thinking of the Fernbank IMAX - yeah it only shows science films/documentaries. The IMAX at the Mall of Georgia shows regular movies though. Not many, but it does show them. Last I checked anyway. Yeah, it is possible Universal won't go for it, but I can still dream.

Count me in: I live in Fort Worth.

Caldeen, awesome name for a game shop. I am big into not only RPGs and LAN games but Boardgames like Goa, Puerto Rico, A Game of Thrones, etc. If you don't stock the leet boardgames, you should think about it.

I will tell my friends and we will make a trek out to your store.

CaptainDC, we should eyeball one another some time. I know some area Browncoats who aren't online but are passionate just the same. They'll never make a Meet Up but are happy to have insta-shindigs.

As for IMAX movies, the trend for new release prints may already be on the way out. Disney is pretty much the only studio/distributor who will still put the cash up and even they're cutting back.

That said, with the right projection system, you can actually run DVDs on the big screen. The rates, though, are prohibitive. Say, $350 an hour to rent the theatre. I have an in with the IMAX around here so I can do some querying if anybody would be interested in a shindig ep viewing on or before the big day. I tried to put one together awhile ago, but very few people wanted to travel to Our City of Perpetual Potential.

How close are you to Lexington, SC, Cardie? That has to be one of the most miserable pieces of real estate in the entire South...but the people are quite friendly and nice to know.

Hmmm, maybe that is why I fly up to Yakima, WA every summer to see the other half of my families...
