Free Hateful Eight ticket (70mm road show)

[kosis]

I'm going to see the Hateful Eight at 6:00pm tonight at Valley View. It's the limited run 70mm road show version. First showing in Cleveland and it's sold out. Bought three tickets but can only use 2.

If you're in Cleveland and want the ticket let me know here and I can meet you at the theater and give it to you after I print them out from the kiosk. I'll give it away down there but figured I'll give RCF the first crack. (Have to go solo because you can't buy more). I can be your Muslim Santa.

Just curious, but what would be the point of this?

Here, why not let Quentin Tarantino explain why he chose to show the movie in 70mm film instead of digital for this initial short release:

On Christmas day, The Weinstein Company's Hateful Eight (starring Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth and Jennifer Jason Leigh) will be presented in a 70mm format that has not been seen in theaters for more than 40 years.The film will debut exclusively in 70mm in 100 theaters before expanding nationwide on Dec. 31.

Basically it is about the old-time movie experience: the whole look (ie not super-clean digital), an intermission, the pops and squiggles on the screen, the chance the film might fall off the reel (I used to love when this happened, personally), etc. The intermission idea is interesting- this way you can go pee without having to block others' view, buy more concessions, already begin arguing about plot holes, check FaceBook/Twitter/Vine/SnapChat/Tinder/3nder/etc.

How was it?

How was it?

I assume you're referring to the experience rather than the film.

It was great. Movie looked really good. Theater was packed, and when you showed up everyone was handed a program with production notes, character bios, behind the scenes stills, etc... There weren't any previews. Once it started, there was about a five minute overture (graphic on the screen and music playing over it) to put you into anticipation mode.

Half way through (after Sam Jackson has the dialogue about the General's son) they stopped for intermission (ten minutes or so with an intermission graphic). Was nice because people got to get up and use the bathroom, get popcorn and whatnot.

I saw the regular version later and noticed there was at least one scene that was not included, so the roadshow version was also an extended version of the film. Enjoyable experience.
