Seattle Weather, The earthquake, Allen's Cinerama. The folks at Paradise Mount Rainier call in once a day with the weather report--they had two inches of new snow overnight on top of that 150" base, skiing at Crystal probably pretty good today--a typical mushy day in March, but plenty of snow. Did not feel the tremblor from my spot...but that earthquake which went off over near Duvall awhile back was incredibly loud in my house (just N of Seattle) Why would that be--sounded like a very large person upstairs, running back and forth stomping down the hall, then throwing himself at the walls--it was wild. Don't remember the quakes in Camarillo CA being scary like that when I was a kid. Here is the most important part of the post: Some of the seats in the Cinerama SUCK. They lean back too far. TPM for me was a big head leaning over to his girlfriends big head every few minutes. Very annoying. I'll go back for a matinee soon to get a better seat. Two screens? Was TPM on the large curved screen? I did not realize that I probably saw Lovers on the Bridge there (Sea Intl Film Fest) on a smaller flat screen--so that means that there were prints sent out for the curved screens and they use some special lens to bring the picture back into proportion right? What is that word, apo-something...
