CinemaCon II

Day 2 (Day 3 for internationals) is a little slower paced. More chatting, fewer events. The trade show floor opened early today (popcorn! hot dogs! projectors! seats! free bags!) and there were seminars on a variety of subjects.

You can feel the ebb and flow of the studios that were here yesterday and the ones with presentations tomorrow.

Today, there is a luncheon sponsored by RealD and Barco, two of the technology companies. (Need I remind you, Barco has really brought projectors! Brightest in the WORLD!!!) The event is Lucas, Cameron, and Katzenberg talking about digital cinema and what they see as the future.

It’s nice to see old friends, though “old” is feeling more and more of a personal descriptive.

Coming up next…

    Surprised there’s no mention of you and Don Murphy meeting up. The way Don talks you’d think he’d be in quite the hurry to bring you down to size in real life.

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
~ Sarah Polley’s Greatest Wish About Stories We Tell

“Anyway, Hitchcock eventually saw a rough cut of High Anxiety. He enjoyed it. But he said nothing after it. He just left. I [thought he] wasn’t happy. The next day, about 11 o’clock in the morning, I get this enormous, beautiful case of Chateau Haut-Brion 1961. That was almost 20 years old [at the time]. I mean, it was priceless. And there were magnums six of them, in a wooden case. Haut-Brion. I mean, oh my God. I’ve still got three of them left waiting. I keep all the good wines.”
What kind of occasion is worthy? When will you know it’s time to go into number four?
“A real, real occasion. I won’t drink it just because it’s a family occasion. I’ll drink it with guys that know what a good wine is and care about, you know, exquisite wines. I have a couple of friends that know what a good wine is.”
~ Mel Brooks, Foodie
