The Master - Spoiler-Free Thread

[Ravi]

Austin's Alamo Drafthouse (The Ritz) will be getting a 70mm print.

I want to see this opening day and I MIGHT be in NY on September 21. Is there any word about which NY theater(s) will get 70mm prints yet?

Nice.... But they're showing it on September 21? Isn't that the official release date anyways?


EDIT: I will also be in NY around that time... Would also love to know what theater will show 70mm.

Just came here to write that!
My "inside source" had told me about the 70mm projector and we both assumed it was Master-related. So excited that that's why.

Tickets go on sale next month, but I'm probably going to also get tickets to some of the other 70mm screenings.

Hey InTylerWeTrust, I have them 

I need them for something I'm putting together  .... Send them to me in an email or upload them here: http://xixax.com/index.php?topic=12254.45

I'll try to catch Baraka and Play Time. I really hope they screen 2001 and Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm someday.

The Paramount Theater in Austin often plays 2001 and Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm. In fact, they're playing 2001 in 70mm a couple of weeks from now.

I believe that the release date for The Master is Sept 14th in LA/NY, then it opens wider on the 21st, and will probably continue to expand week by week.

Needless to say, I am so happy about The Master playing here in 70mm. I feel like a bit of a dork for saying this, but I was actually really concerned about whether or not I'd be able to see it in this format.

The Paramount Theater has a 70MM projector and they screen both those movies every summer. In just a couple weeks.

EDIT: and I'm officially the slowest with the Austin news today. Let's have an Austin meetup 70mm party.

[matt35mm]

Yeah, I feel like it's appropriate to have all the XIXAXers near Austin meet up to watch The Master in 70mm. PTA brought us together in the first place, and this is a cause for celebration. I say we watch The Master, go get drunk, and then watch The Master again.

The Paramount usually plays Lawrence of Arabia but aren't doing it this year. They are, however, playing Last Action Hero in glorious 70mm.

I imagine that the Drafthouse will get around to showing both of those movies as well. Maybe they'll play Lawrence of Arabia soon, since The Paramount's not doing it this year. In any case, Ravi, those are two movies that you will definitely be able to catch in 70mm someday.

Keep me updated re the Austin 70mm meetup. I definitely want to be there, just not sure (yet) if I can logistically. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed.

Let's do it. I can't believe I had no idea that 2001 and LOA often showed in 70mm just three hours from me. Why do I live in Dallas??? We can't have 70mm parties here! 

[I am Schmi]

Seeing as we're discussing theaters and what not, I've been eyeing Arclight's theater in Hollywood. I know the theater will get it on The Master's first official public debut (Sept 14th), however I'm second guessing whether or not the decision is realistically the best choice for me.

Thought you guys might enjoy this:

Went to see Killer Joe a couple nights ago (hilariously demented/fun) with my fellow cinephile friend who isn't watching any The Master material with me. So, during the previews The Master trailer appeared beginning with that hypnotic track over the TWC logo appearing, and we sprinted out of the theater faster than Aurora (once again, I'm really sorry if it's too soon).

SOMEONE ELSE BOOKED IT WITH US TOO...the things we go through for a PTA film.

LOL I don't know how you guys do it, man... I really don't. I wish I had that kind of will power. When anything "master-related" comes out, I'm on it like Polanski on a 12 year old... I've probably seen the trailer more than 300 times by now (That first day it came out I had it on repeat all night long). But good on ya for staying "Trailer-free".  Maybe when the next PTA film comes out, I'll do the same........ Maybe.

Do you plan on making any useful posts, or are you going to continue with the vague ineffectual trolling?
