Bob, congratulations to you and your team for the magnificent work you did on TIE! This child saw this film many times flat in mono sound, 35mm Tech in his small town theater; so to see it for the first time in 1.85 and in Perspecta Sound was a revelation.
So thanks again and again and again!
That's how I saw the film more than once in my small-town theater. Academy ratio, mono sound, eye-popping color, Faith Domergue, the scary aliens. Did I mention Faith Domergue?
My small town theater did not convert to widescreen till 195? (Can't remember.) So I remember seeing This Island Earth multiple times there in 1.37. Looking forward to finally watching it in its OAR. To hell with nostalgia!
