The IMAX theater at Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI is closed and will not be an imax screen when it re-opens. This is disappointing because they had the largest IMAX screen in michigan (84' x 62' or 26m x 19m) and ran real 70mm film - two of them for 3D.

One of the local Ann Arbor cinemas had a 70mm projector when it opened (true IMAX vs the newer digital format) but I'm not sure that's the case anymore - When The Force Awakens was shown in true 70mm in 40+ theaters in the US, this one was not listed as one of them. I believe they've switched to the digital format. The digital IMAX format has very few differences from any other digital projection format in most theaters today, IMAX has so diluted its product in order to get its brand into theaters that there's little reason to seek out an IMAX showing vs a regular showing of a movie anymore.

The last movie to play on the Henry Ford Imax in true 70mm 3D was The Polar Express, re-released just last month before closing. Wish I had known it was closing, and that they were showing it again. The blueray doesn't compare to the true IMAX experience.

RIP, IMAX. :(

Yeah, the only real Imax screen I've ever seen was the 20 meter sized one in the Space and Science center. They still do actual Imax film reels but the theater is mainly used for documentaries.

The ones in the city that show movies are all the rinky dink barely different from the regular theater Imax.

SMH...

It was a super big treat for us elementary school types to go to the Johnson's Wax Golden Rondelle to see To Be Alive and To Fly on the huge multiple screens inside.

Sigh.

I swear to god my metabolism changed the *day* I turned 30. I mean sure, it was also an extremely emotional year filled with stress and less time to exercise, but still. I feel like I'm having to work twice as hard just to break even, weight wise. And I've been back on a more consistently healthy diet for almost a year now, and I'm exercising like a maniac. Oh well. Patience. Patience, vegetables, and lean protein.l, and movement.

I hear that. I gained so much weight this year because I stopped being as active as I was the year before, when I was maintaining no matter how hard I tried.

Meanwhile, I have no walkway to our apartment building. It is level with the hillside.

And the snow just keeps piling on! Not supposed to stop for another 13 hours.

We were predicted to get 6 to 12 inches. We're currently at 11 1/2 inches and it's coming down sideways. It's not supposed to stop until tomorrow morning.

We're in the process of clearing off the driveway. Figured better start now than later when we get the additional 12" that are predicted.

Took a 4 foot ruler with me. We're up to 35 inches.

You HAD to taunt Mother Nature, didn't you?

It's not much better here. The biggest problem is keeping it from getting t too heavy on the deck. But the sledding and snowman building tomorrow will be great!

Is everyone okay? That's just outrageously low temps for LA. Make sure you take care of all your plants and pets, and wrap the outside faucets, much colder and they'll all be in danger.

My herbs are already dead. The weird man in cutoffs in our apartment complex who communes with stray cats took one inside last night.
