I saw Martin Scorcese’s Hugo in 3D in the cinema last night.

It really seems like they’re slapping 21st century technology onto 1970s tech, and I guess that’s what they are doing, but really they need to update these projectors properly if they want the cinema industry to survive. I think a lot of people have large flat screens and possibly 5.1 surround at home these days. Surely they should increase the framerate and screen size by updating old tech or moving over to digital projectors? And for the love of jaysis turn on the feckin surround sound if you’ve got the equipment!
