Not sure what to say...all I know is that a number of times I've been watching the trailers at 1:85 to 1 and then when the main feature starts, you can see the top and bottom "curtain" (not exactly the right word...more like a blackout cloth of some type) lower from the top AND raise from the bottom of the screen. It's definitely a mechanical process since you can often hear the motor running as it does this. I've had this same experience. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

There may be a few theaters like that, but it definitely isn't the norm. Again, maybe it's a regional thing, but it definitely is the norm in any theatre I've been to in the last 6 or 7 years (Cineplex, AMC). I do remember having curtains close from the left and right when I was growing up in small town Ontario (2 theatres, 1 screen each!) but that was in the 80s.  |

I've had this same experience. Same experience here at two different cinemas in two different towns and as recently as two weeks ago  . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |
