I was talking (texting actually) with some friends the other day. We got to talking about wide screens for programming. In the world of programming, almost nothing is better than lots of screen real estate. That prompted my memory for a time my parents took us to Saint Louis where we got in on a Cinerama presentation of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. All I remembered was this gigantic screen that literally wrapped 3 sides of the theater. I recall one scene where they placed you in the front seat of a taxi, and you could turn your head to look out the side windows. My memory is somewhat fuzzy, as this was way back in 1963.
I digress (obviously), but I remember that particular movie as being a lot of fun. You have to consider that I was pretty young at the time, so my taste in movies was most assuredly juvenile. IIRC my parents enjoyed it too. It was one of the first movies where they threw in a couple dozen popular actors.

I enjoyed Knives Out. Normally my wife has to help me keep the characters and plot straight but I was able to stay with it until the end. Even saw the plot twist which is not normal for me.Conversely, I had to watch Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy 5 times. Took notes the last time I watched it. Pretty sure I figured it out.From: Eric NielsenSent: Thursday, April 23, 2020 11:07 AMSubject: Re: [AFMUG] OT movie suggestionsIn preparation of No Time to Die later this year I’ve been watching the older Bond films, mostly for nostalgia. Though terribly cheesy, they’re still pretty entertaining. All are available on Amazon Prime, some eve remastered.I also hear Knives Out is wonderful - it’s next on my list.--On Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 1:03 PM Gilbert Gutierrez <mailing-li...@phxinternet.com> wrote:
