Default Hey Fletcher: do you know of a data base that says what films were shot on 70mm (dreaming about what

to rent when HD-DVD finally comes out). I rented Spartacus over the holiday and noticed it was shot on 70 (gawd those soundstage shots with the fake sky look horrible - you movie folks have come a long way!).

If you remove the limiter on it then it can, it won't be 'stock' after that though.

Default With the speed limiter removed, it ought to.

I saw 165, EASILY the day I got chipped. Why wouldn't a stock S4 do 170, other than the speed limiter?

Default Not enough power to hit 170. C&D tested a pre-production S4 with stock boost and no limiter.

It hit 157 mph.

I thought it was 159, either way, it's a long way from 170.

Default Do a google search, I found one a few years ago.

I've seen a lot of them in 70mm... The best I've seen were Baraka and Lawrence of Arabia, but seeing one of the very few 70mm prints of Titanic was even a treat... even though the movie sucked.

<a href="http://www.in70mm.com/lists/" target="_new">This</a> site is pretty good.

FWIW, a good 35mm print is still higher than HD resolution... we always did 4k scans of 35mm film, and I think thats still whats used in the industry.

Default If the transfer is good, I am thinking the I-Max with the Andrettis will be high on the HD-DVD list

for film stuff. But the documentaries/concerts shot on HD video are what is really going to shine (I have very little HD content available at my house right now).
