| 13. April 2007 Dear Thomas, was there forgotten the 70mm festival for the American Cinematheque? By the way, for my opinion there is too much public relation for the Schauburg Cinema on your website, including no commented screenings of 35mm prints (as BEN-Hur) or German dubbed prints (DIE HARD, ABYSS, ALIENS and so on). The advertising spaces in favour of Mr. Born are exaggerated, I think, and his "historic transfigurations" of the wide screen history in many internet forums and discussions are a real torture for a couple of experts. Nowadays an important share of his program is carried on HD(TV)-Screenings via DLP beamer - altogether "harmonious" living side on side, as Mr. Born mentioned. After many years I regret to notice, that this man is not fully serious - a very fickle and changeable business man with nostalgic weakness. The historic truth is another thing, I believe. I would be unhappy, as soon as the Thomas Hauerslev website is changing into a Herbert Born website. The other, more interesting Festivals (American Cinematheque, Norsk Filminstitut and the Czheck festival) come off to shortly for my taste at the moment. Kindest regards Jean-Pierre, Berlin, Germany |
03.08.2007 Have just spent another two hours reading through yet again parts of your wonderful web site. I don't know how you manage to do it, but I for one am certainly glad you do. Every time I look at the site I find myself immersed in fond memories of Wide Screen as I remember it from it's glory days of the 50's,and 60's and to have someone like yourself capable of collating and bringing together so much information is fantastic. The site just seems to get better and better. Best wishes and regards Ralph Miller (ex London Cinerama 3 x strip and 70mm projectionist) |

March 9, 2006 Hi there dear Thomas, in the beginning many many compliments and thanks for your fabulous work with the website and for your passion about the 70mm. I would like to make you a question please: have you ever been in italy seeing the Arcadia multiplex in Melzo ? Well, if the answer is yes, you just know what i am talking about !!!! If the answer is no, i'd like to invite you to spend your next holiday there, that's the real seventh wonder of the world. I'm a fanatical about 70mm and large format, and I will take this few seconds to say that you will never and repeat never say a cinema like that all over the world. Try to believe. If you need more information I will be pleased to send them to you. Bye Bye and many compliments again. Marco M., Italy |
March 9, 2006 From the amount of browsing that I've done on your site, I really like the content you have collected. The first-person accounts from people and from members of the industry is very interesting to read. The next time I update the Movie Links page: I'll add a link to your site as I think it would be interesting to our readers. The BigScreen Cinema Guide Scott V. Jentsch - Publisher, USA |

| 26 May 2003 From an ex London Cinerama projectionist (Coliseum and Royalty plus a couple of days at the Casino). I would just like to say how much I am enjoying wading through everything that you have listed in The 70mm Newsletter-table of contents. I certainly never thought 40 years ago that I would enjoy reading about Cinerama as much as I am. If only it was possible to turn the clock back to then, perhaps we might still have more screens capable of showing 3 strip. When I attended the opening in Bradford of Cinerama and met all the people that had come from all over the world just to be part of the rebirth of Cinerama I had many a tear in my eyes. Now reading the items on your site is yet again having the same effect on me. Even after all these years I can still remember most of the films quite clearly and recall where a realignment of the 'gigolos' was called for. Keep up the good work and perhaps I might even be lucky enough to meet you at Bradford if I can make it next year. Ralph Miller |
27.06.2003 Sir, I just had to tell you that as a schoolboy I saw TIC as the London Casino in 1955 never realising that six years later I would work for Cinerama as a projectionist at the London Coliseum and Royalty Theatres and also relieved at the Casino. I left Cinerama and went out of the industry in 1963/4. However the one big memory that I have always carried with me is the Cinerama flight in This is Cinerama down the Grand Canyon. It has always been my life ambition to actually see the Grand Canyon for myself. I was lucky to be present at the first showing at Bradford and meeting John Harvey, John Swadkins and Willem along with others from all over the world, including other ex Cinerama projectionists. After seeing TIC again after all those years my dream of seeing Grand Canyon for myself became even more pressing. Finally after have had to cancel 3 arranged trips to America following a heart attack and heart bypass, a family illness and death and on the third occasion Sept. 11th 'Twin Towers' two days before my flight out from the UK. I have made it this month and flew over and stayed at the Canyon. The 47 year wait was well worth it. I for one will never forget it or forget that it was Cinerama that was responsible for that lifetime dream. Keep up the good work with the web site, its a great site Ralph Miller |

7, 2003 Keep up the good work! I look at your website all the time. Big 70MM fan here. Back in the eighties, I was a projectionist at the old Cinedomes in Orange, California. James T Spivey-Jr. |
|
| 05.02.2003 Great site. I miss all the 70mm films. Today, most screens are small. What happened to the large curved screens? Bob Petrik |
Dear Thomas I regret you had to stop the paper version of "..in 70mm" for lack of new technologies in 70mm. But I will try to surf the net to have some news from you! Loic LEDEZ, France |

2003 Thanks Thomas, an excellent site with so much information. I know many from here in Melbourne Australia who visit often. I would have loved this information 20 years ago but it just was not available. Keep up your good work. Kind Regards, David Kilderry |

2003 The W/S weekend web pages are superb and you are to be congratulated. Well done. I have enjoyed reading back through the years. We have been fortunate to have seen so many historical films presented correctly. I am looking forward to the weekend which has some good films, in particular Spartacus and the King and I now that they have the DP70 which should keep the focus sharp on the curve. Best wishes, Malcolm Clarke. |

| 050202 Hi There, I've just looked through the magazine and site and am very impressed. Congratulations on your site. Best wishes, Steve Maggs, Australia |
080102 Dear Thomas I was sorry to hear of the discontinuance of ...In 70mm in printed form. It was a terrific publication, I will really miss it, but then Kodak may also be abandoning their printed edition of Cinema Notes so I guess this is the future! Keep up the good work, I will continue to support ..in 70mm. Best regards Brian Guckian, Dublin, Ireland |

30, 2002 For someone like me who grew up in Hollywood in the heyday of 70mm and Cinerama, your website is an absolute delight. Thanks for your fine work. I can tell you that the finest cinema I've experienced, by far, with the best 70mm projection, was the old Carthay Circle in Los Angeles, which tragically was demolished in the late 1960s. Nothing else I've seen could touch it, even Grauman's Chinese in its prime. With best regards, Richard Evidon, Minneapolis, MN, USA |

| Thanks for your great and useful site about large formats; I found it while I was searching the correct projection ratio for Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" (now reedited in dvd in 2,35) . stefano |
February 2003 Dear Thomas, The web pages are excellent. Chris O´Kane, Vistamorph |

2001 Dear Thomas You have done an outstanding job with publishing "..in 70mm" and I congratulate you on having continued to produce such great material for as long as you did. Most people that put together newsletters or small magazines tend to get "burned out" and give up in about 1½ to 3 years. The fact that you continued for so long shows how strongly you are interested in the subject of 70mm. I have been visiting and will continue to visit your excellent web site. I hope you will continue to add to the great things that are already there. Thanks again for all you have done. Dan Sherlock |
291101 Thomas, I was sorry to read of your decision to stop producing the printed version of ..in 70mm. However I can understand that it must take some time to produce each edition and I can only thank you for all your efforts. I saw Bill Lawrence at Pictureville when I went to see "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and was glad to hear that the documenting of the history of 70mm will be continued. In my view this was a very important part of ..in 70mm which should be continued before the first hand knowledge is lost for ever. In particular documenting the films produced in the former Eastern Bloc countries has been generally poorly covered elsewhere. I hope that the website can continue this work. Is it possible to send out a message when the Now Showing page of the website has been updated? It was only by accident that I found out about " Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and the Pictureville film listing never included it. Best wishes, Andrew King |

| 241101 Hi Thomas, Sorry to hear about the demise of "...in 70mm." It's frustrating to see the film industry somewhat embrace digital cinema and large format IMAX/Giant Screen instead of 5-perf 65mm/70mm. Where's the logic? Now, if the industry wised up and embraced Super Dimension-70, I think that would be wonderful. Then, "...in 70mm" could enter a new age of 65mm movies! Best regards, Bill Kallay |

2001 Dear Thomas May I say many, many thanks for a great publication over the years, and that I understand your reasons entirely. Yours sincerely Adrian H G Roberts |
|
| July, 25, 2002 Your website is coming along quite nicely and is, as always very informative. Good luck on these new changes. All the best, Rich Greenhalgh |
Dear
Mr Hauerslev A bad truth, Issue nr. 67 is the last one? Thank you for all the great past issues and your great work for 70mm film. Let's hope that some day producers will film in 70mm again. Jörg Hebgen, German |

12, 2001 Dear Thomas Although I am in no sense a cinema technician, your magazine has revealed and enlightened a "behind the screen" world that has always intrigued and interested me. It has been a delight to discover the latest issue waiting on the doormat for me. Howard Rust, England |
Many thanks for
your wonderful efforts in producing the "in 70mm" magazine for
so many years. Keeping 70mm alive was a worthy aim but sadly it looks like
joining 3-strip Cinerama on the shelf of yesterdays wonder. David Coles, Australia |
|
| 031101 Tom, I think changing your format to a web based style is an excellent idea. I do want to support it. Marshall Ellenstein |
171101 I applaud your decision to publish on the website. I think the improved pictures will make this a worthwhile change. Cheers, Phil Lamb, England |
|
| 021101 Hi Thomas, Obviously I would like to have seen the magazine continue but I completely understand your decision given the fact that even 70mm blowups seem to be very rare these days. Many, many thanks for the countless hours you must have put into producing the newsletter over the past seven years, it was very much appreciated. I'll continue to check the website regularly. Best regards, Allan Young |
031101 Hi Thomas, I think it is a great idea to put the magazine articles on the web instead of posting out printed copies. This is the way a lot of publications will go. David Coles also thinks that you are doing the right thing. Putting the magazine on the web will give more people a chance to learn about 70mm (especially the younger generation). best regards, Peter Fraser, Australia |
|
| 041101 Thomas, I applaud your efforts for the past seven years and will be happy to send the money you have requested. May I suggest that you consider sending out e-mails to your subscribers each time you publish a new issue on the web? I am ready to re-subscribe at any time. Kind Regards, Richard Greenhalgh, USA |
151101 Dear Thomas, I was sorry that you are not continuing with the magazine as I have enjoyed it very much. Thank you for all your hard work. I have visited your site on the net and found it very helpful. Please keep up the good work as we value all that you do. Thank you, Malcolm Clarke, England |

31.07.2002 Hej, Thomas! Tack för ditt fina arbete med The 70mm Newsletter genom åren. Bengt Norman frilansfotograf och biografmaskinist, Vinterpalaset, Stockholm |
|
| 121101 Dear Thomas: 66 and 67 are great issues! Thanks. You made a wise decision to substitute with a new website. Looking forward to it. Best regards, Dick Vetter, USA |
121101 Dear Thomas, I'm so sorry do decided to stop to publish it, but I understand you. No one seems to believe in 70mm but Arcadia, and it's really a pity that the moment we decided to move to the Large Format you closed the magazine that taught me a lot about 70mm and its history. ciao, Francesco Gualeni, Italy |
