Those are from 2011.
Luckily, theatres are using projectors that were “state of the art 5 years ago” and not, “state of the art nine years ago”.
Okay, #notAllMovieTheaters !
I remember thinking that *Solo, a star wars story" was a bit dim, though.
Probably saw it at the cinemark, rather than the Regal.
I think it’s a case of more complicated films needing more life experience… try again when she’s a teen? They love to feel like they are into deep and meaningful cinema by then. Or ironically edgy and schlocky cinema. Or maybe don’t start with Fellini? 
But there are great films for kids that are of quality, though, that doesn’t pander or talk down to kids - The Princess Bride, anything by Miyazaki, anything by Henson from before when Jim Henson died (have you watched the Storyteller series!) some of Pixar’s films, The Last Unicorn, Mirrormask, Coraline… I’m sure others have suggestions too…

Oh, she’s super-cool alright (and 24 now 
). She just used to refuse to watch anything black and white with me.

IMO - one of the single best, most perfect movies of all time.

Well…I knew what my part (one of the 1st ISPs) did, which was very different from what the company as a whole did.

Trick is to start them off on King Kong.

It’s already here. I believe the VR cinema experience was an early application and by all accounts it gives you the full partial cinema immersion without the snacking, coughing, talking punters. I don’t have a headset so haven’t tried it and i’m not sure how comfortable it’ll be to wear one for a 2 hour film but i like the concept.

There’s no reason to think that verdict would stand in today’s judicial climate.
ETA: well, I guess there’s reason, but there’s also reason to think that decision could be reversed by our current courts.
It’s a supreme court decision, so less likely to just be overturned, even in the current court. It is entirely possibly, of course, but not a sure thing. Plus, I’d think that the reorganization that happened since that time is not so easy to overturn, as they are used to the system now as it is and probably prefer it. This is more than half a century ago, after all. Then again who knows about anything any more.

The DOJ has filed to remove the Paramount rule on grounds that it has no expiration date and is no longer applicable because streaming. And Netflix was already granted a waver allowing them to purchase a theater to exclusively exhibit their own films.
There doesn’t neccisarily need to be a supreme court decision over turning it as anti-trust law has changed a lot in the interim and the laws it was predicated on can be changed. Plus the decision itself can stand and function as legal president, it can just stop applying to theater ownership and movie studios. And that’s basically what the DOJ arguing.
