Well on the Isle of Wight, it is called Cineworld and also has a Pizza Hut, A Chicago Rock Cafe, Maplins and Staples all in the same building and has a drive-in KFC right outside in the carpark.

I know there's an IMAX in Manchester, there's probably one in London too but I would never go that far to see a film unless I'd made it.
From what my barber told me, I now knew that nothing was real.

I know theres one in Dreamworld (amusement park), but it's like, $50 to get in, and they only show documentaries, how very gay.

Sling wrote:... What the fuck is IMAX?



One day a really rich man was busy burning money. Then somebody must have questioned his manhood, so obviously the rich man felt the urge to compensate for his manhood being questioned. Instead of burning the money, the man made a theater with a HUUUUUGE screen and an epic sound system.

Numbers:
A standard IMAX screen is 22 m wide and 16 m high (72.6 x 52.8 ft), but can be larger.

Visual Demonstration:

There are different, less realistic explanations for when, where, and why the need for giant screens arose, but thats up to you to believe. I like to think my story's believable on the basis of the existence of Hummers and Big Screen TVs. We make everything else fuckin' huge, so I don't see why they wouldn't make huge movie screens.

And it gets worse. Regular IMAX is nothing compared to OMNIMAX.

I've been to quite a few OMNIMAX in my life, incredible stuff. In fact, I saw a 3-D OMNIMAX film with dinosaurs and shit. Some kid pissed his pants and ran out crying. It ruled.

Heck even we have both around here for a couple of years, I figured they were rather common-place.

The only Imax I know of near here is part of some museum in Baltimore, so it only shows educational crap.

Is there a single Frank Miller female character that isn't a prostitute or a whiny abused slut?
