Currently, I am visiting LA after 7 years of absence. (I am from Japan, and I used to live here for 11 years.) I just saw ‘Iron Man" at the Dome, and I am very happy to know that the the theater is back with much better pic & sound quality. (When I left L.A., the Dome was still in renovation.) I live in a city called Osaka in Japan, and we used have a Cinerama theater called OS Cinerama. It was actually a sister theater to Cinerama Dome, and the interior was exactly same. Everytime I visit the Dome, it reminds me of the days I enjoyed many of 70mm films at OS Cinerama. I am really glad that Cinerama Dome still exists and gives us the most ideal presentation of the movies. By the way, I have tried to get a ticket for the very first show of Indy 4 online, however the the particular show had been sold-out instantly. But when I bitched about it to a box office lady in person yesterday, she said there are still some tickets left. Then she helped me to get a great seat for the very first midnight show of Indy 4. Thanks to the friendly lady at the box office! On the other hand, I was not happy at all that the gift shop doesn’t carry any Cinerama-related souvenirs any more. There used to be key-chains, photo-frames, baseball caps, stickers, and all. I really wish that they will start selling those again. I would like to take something from the Dome home.
