To the Music Box Theater.

Did you catch the trailer for LOA? It's hilarious. It's the long shot in the desert with L standing in left foreground and Omar Sharif riding a camel toward him, face on - Sharif and mount initially appear as a nearly invisible speck on the horizen and gradually come closer and closer to the camera...The voice over extolls the virtues and reputation of the film and the glory of the new 70mm print, but never mentions LOA by name. The VO finally says something like...if you don't recognize this film after seeing this 35 seconds of footage, then you better get your butt in a seat to see it this fall. LOL! Love it!

Saw Lawrence of Arabia last time it came around in 70mm. Will see it again.
