I do hope "they" (ie. whichever committee is in charge of Bristol IMAX at any given time) figure this out: maybe have the tree-hugging docus during the day, and the blockbusters at night? Use the profit from the blockbusters to subsidise the "worthy" film schedule. Is it just me, or do the Made-for-IMAX films tend to bore the tits off you too? </philistine> Plus, come to think of it... isn't Avatar a bit of a tree-hugging film, from what I've heard? Maybe they can justify showing it that way. Tom -- Tom Gidden http://gidden.net/tom
