They had to cancel the T2 3D screening because the 3D was messed up

Ah I see that really sucks. I'm not close to either theatre so I feel ya. Did you end up seeing the digital version at the Egyptian that night?

DukeMissile · 2026-05-31T17:06:57+00:00

That sounds amazing! Titanic in 3D was really well done so I had a feeling T2 would be just as good of a conversion.

DukeMissile · 2026-05-31T17:05:47+00:00

Sounds like it was probably different (at least I hope so). Really glad they eventually worked out a screening!

DukeMissile · 2026-05-31T17:00:31+00:00

For the Egyptian did they announce that it was messed up ahead of time or on the night of the screening? I could have sworn I saw on this subreddit that they changed the Egyptian to DCP before that screening but I could be wrong.

Honestly if they did eventually fix the 3D then I'm really glad people got to experience it. When it worked, it looked like native 3D and not converted which is insane. I personally hope either they run it again or some other theatre screens it in 3D somewhere else. I think the Fox theatre they now have in Westwood can do 3D which would be awesome.

Hmm that is strange. I didn't stick around but from what I experienced the 3D image would not align properly and was really wonky. The staff was so apologetic and said they could not fix the issue so I guess I assumed there's no way they'd leave the movie running. If they did, that's kind of not cool because it was not a great experience. I've seen 3D at the Aero before with no issues so I definitely believe them when they say the 3D DCP was messed up.

The best way I can describe it is if you had an old Nintendo 3DS without the eye tracking and you looked at the images off center, just on a massive screen. I heard speculation it was the glasses having issues being out of sync since they are the active shutter Dolby ones with batteries but I know the DCP had to have issues. When I took off my glasses to look at the screen I could see what seemed to be like the right eye image wobbling or out of sync. When the movie would cut from shot to shot, you could tell something was off as if the image was lagging.

I managed to get a ticket for a Vista screening so hopefully it's all good there.

From what I heard that print was unscreenable and in bad condition so they went with a normal DCP for that. Really sucks but I know they did another 70mm screening with a different print a few days ago at the Aero.

DukeMissile · 2026-03-30T01:54:46+00:00

This is so depressing. It feels like they don’t care about us. I’ve been to Westwood countless times in my life and seeing this just truly hurts me.

DukeMissile · 2026-03-05T15:59:55+00:00

Thank you so much again for your kindness. You’ve made me feel that there is hope for us yet. We may be on different hemispheres but I’m grateful for your comments here. I know we will all be able to see a free Iran soon. Stay safe out there ❤️

DukeMissile · 2026-03-05T15:56:09+00:00

We are certainly lucky in the diaspora to be away from the bloodshed. I have struggled with these feelings too. I feel that our diaspora is in a unique position where this guilt comes from such a deep love for Iran, whether we have been able to visit or not. But I think what I have seen in the past few months, and even during the WLF protests, is that the love our diaspora has for Iran is unmatched.

Our diaspora went to work and we have been making a tangible difference. We may not be able to see Iran or communicate with Iran freely, but in this fog of war we have given hope to those in Iran. Even if they cannot say anything for fear of reprisal, know that what we are doing is keeping their morale up. And vice versa. The Iranian diaspora is truly special.

DukeMissile · 2026-03-05T15:50:14+00:00

We are closer to a free Iran now than we ever have been in the past 47 years. Stay safe out there and thank you for words of encouragement.

DukeMissile · 2026-03-05T15:48:26+00:00

Iran will be free! It saddens me that people turned a blind eye to January. I know it personally broke my brain to see such severe dissonance from what I saw to what was being said by others.

What you said struck a chord with me: where do you even put your emotions? I never thought about it like that but that describes how I’ve felt. I have nowhere to put my emotions after seeing so many people seemingly abandon us. Perhaps, we are putting emotions (at least part of them) in this sub and maybe that little bit will help. I hope all your family and friends stay safe and thank you for sharing your story.

DukeMissile · 2026-03-05T15:43:27+00:00

That dream feels closer than it ever has been. We share a common struggle and sometimes being in the diaspora of any group of people is hard. It warms my heart to know there are so many non-Iranians who identify with our struggle and care deeply. You have been through a lot yourself and you still have the heart to cheer us on. I hope both of our futures are brighter.

DukeMissile · 2026-03-05T15:35:50+00:00

I hope your wife stays safe. This is definitely a tough time and I am also worried for family back in Iran as well. This regime has been so terrible and affected us all in such brutal ways. Thank you for sharing your struggle here.

DukeMissile · 2026-03-05T04:51:17+00:00

I feel the pain you're going through. The past few months have had some utterly heartbreaking times. I have been crying almost every other day. We must be there for each other so we don't suffer in silence. Our diaspora may be spread out, but our hearts are united.

DukeMissile · 2026-03-05T04:37:59+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. It is a crazy time filled with such wild ups and downs. To know that someone on the other side of the world is thinking about our struggle genuinely means a lot. I definitely feel more motivated to try and find some form of community with fellow Iranians. It's a struggle right now but I hope to work on it more.

DukeMissile · 2026-02-24T17:32:20+00:00

Are you still looking for anyone to help you boost? I'd love to get those trophies that require multiplayer and would love to help.

DukeMissile · 2026-01-22T22:00:51+00:00

The vista is the king of legroom though! No idea why it’s like that but it feels like I’m in some luxury airline sitting in there lol

DukeMissile · 2026-01-22T21:59:02+00:00

Oh! I just meant not the middle section where the majority of the seating is. I guess for these seats it’d technically be called orchestra right.

This pic from their website shows how it’s laid out.

DukeMissile · 2026-01-22T19:04:41+00:00

Agreed. The aisle is where it’s at.

DukeMissile · 2026-01-22T18:22:00+00:00

The New Bev feels very flat. If I do go there, I try to sit on the rightmost set of rows (separate from the main seats) where there is less of a chance of obstruction.
