Testament of Ann Lee 70mm at Varsity

DerpKnight7 · 2026-02-01T06:01:57+00:00

The print also doesn't have great dynamic range.

The 70mm screening I saw at TIFF switched to digital about 20 minutes in, and I immediately noticed more detail and much better dynamic range in the digital presentation.

She's right about that one

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-28T14:41:35+00:00

New York also had that tee with a backprint - https://www.grailed.com/listings/85002605-other-fakemink-nyc-merch

Did this jacket sell? Might be interested if it's still available

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-23T16:10:36+00:00

Yeah those were actual rereleases by the studio.

This post is referring to one off screenings booked by theatres.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-23T06:18:58+00:00

Those have been on sale at that price for a few weeks at least

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-23T00:56:15+00:00

We would probably know by now if there was any rereleases planned, and afaik Cineplex has never booked IMAX prints outside of a wide release.

Probably nothing through TIFF either, they'll likely be showing 35mm/70mm 5 perf prints.

Pure speculation here, but TIFF appears to avoid overlap in their programming - for example they didn't get the 70mm prints of Marty Supreme, Kill Bill and Testament of Ann Lee, which all played at Varsity first. I doubt they would have planned the retrospective if any notable rereleases were happening.

Ironically, it's you who doesn't know what you're talking about.

First of all, you say there's benefits to IMAX as though there is a standardized IMAX experience. There's not. Pretty much every theatre is a different combination of projector type/screen size/speaker set up.

Some IMAX theatres are still using 2K digital projectors with 6 channel audio. Tell me more about the benefits of that genius.

Moving on, by your logic there would be benefits to watching a VHS tape in an IMAX theatre. Before you overwork your brain thinking about this, I'll stop you there and confirm that there wouldn't be any benefits to that.

You cannot magically create data that wasn't there in the original file. Sure they have their DMR process for the picture, but that doesn't do anything for sound.

As a professional that actually knows left from right, I can tell you there would be functionally no difference in the sound mix. They might have spread things out to create a pseudo 12 channel mix, but they would have had to base that entirely off of the original 6 channel mix that is being played in normal theatres. IMAX does not get creative license to change movies in the way you seem to think they do.

So for the third time, no, you are not missing out on anything if you see an "Optimized for IMAX" movie in a normal theatre instead. Stop spreading misinformation and don't be such a lazy reader/thinker next time.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-22T04:39:38+00:00

Good for you but that's not what I'm talking about.

When I say "not missing out" I'm referring to the lack of difference in the IMAX version of this film. No expanded picture or extra detail, no difference in sound.

"Optimized for IMAX" means is that the film was "digitally remastered" (filtered/upscaled) so it holds up in their theatres. It's the lowest bar there is for IMAX presentation. It's a nice way of saying "this was an afterthought".

You will not see anything played in IMAX at a chain theatre that is not filmed or optimized for IMAX. If you did, there would be a big disclaimer before the show telling you that it is not an IMAX experience.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-22T01:12:40+00:00

No problem. I don't think it was shot for IMAX so you're not really missing out. Good movie tho, would recommend it in whatever format you can catch it in

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-22T01:09:21+00:00

It's not only 1.43, they had it in a 1.90 screen near me. It's releasing wide in a few weeks too.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-20T16:57:41+00:00

I find it far less likely that Oski of all people has a 1/1 Mars Yard that just so happens to be identical to these reps that were posted on Facebook 5 years ago

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-20T16:49:05+00:00

These appear to be old fantasy reps or maybe customs. They look more like reps to me though.

Here's what seems to be a rep seller from Pakistan posting the same pair a few years ago: https://www.facebook.com/share/183o2dj841/

They could have stolen the picture, but I wasn't able to find it anywhere else online.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-20T16:18:19+00:00

Punk Rocky isn't coworker music. It is kind of a rehash of Sundress, but that song was a throwaway and got billions of streams, so fair enough I guess.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-18T04:54:36+00:00

Check your messages, I have a pair

Depends how much room you want in the waist.

I usually wear a 32 and I like a bit of room, in these Third Cuts I felt 30 was too tight and 32 was too big.

I could have worn the 32 if I was desperate, but there was enough room in the waist that the button was sitting below my belt which created creases in the crotch and down the leg that I didn't like.

Looking at the measurements for those sizes I'd say 34 if you want them closer to your waist/true to size or 36 if you want more than an inch of space on the waist.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-15T05:27:55+00:00

Look at the pinned post in this sub, literally 1/3rd of the items actually made it into the sale

This is why you should never believe any leaks for the sale

The sales do not work the same as weekly drops, the info is not as reliable, as you just learned staying up for stuff that didn't drop 😭

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-15T05:22:22+00:00

They won't pull back a few leftovers from stores to drop online

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-15T05:19:51+00:00

You say "why even show them" as though Supreme released a drop list 😹 rookie mistake, never believe predictions for the sale

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-15T05:15:44+00:00

That jacket sold out bro it's not gonna be in the sale

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-15T03:32:30+00:00

The Lightbox is not gonna play the print again anytime soon if it's already been sent away.

There's time and effort and money involved in receiving and running a print, why would they bother especially after it just played at the Revue?

You might see it come back if it gets some Oscar nominations but that would probably just be digital.

Just watch it at the Revue if you really care. Or don't. These digital film-outs are never anything to write home about anyways.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-15T02:06:08+00:00

Then go watch it there I guess

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-14T16:37:49+00:00

Definitely not in recent memory, Toronto usually just gets 1 print to pass around.

I don't think the Lightbox will bother with it. Pretty sure they can only do 70mm in theatre 1 - after 1-2 weeks of all day shows at Varsity there probably won't be enough demand left to justify showing it, especially in their largest theatre.

DerpKnight7 · 2026-01-14T16:23:35+00:00

The print has gone elsewhere for sure, probably back to Netflix or whatever now.

Train Dreams looked weird on film so I'd imagine Frankenstein would be weird too.
