IMAX Develops Movie Transfer Technology 513
kazama writes: "Toronto-based IMAX said that it had developed a new process called DMR (for "digital remastering") to digitally convert conventional 35mm films to the IMAX format without significant loss of detail. 'Our customers have been saying to us for years, "We want to see Star Wars on IMAX, we want to see The Matrix on IMAX." and DMR is the technology which is the enabler,' Co-CEO Bradley Wechsler told Reuters. 'That's going to be an increasingly important part of the company's performance.'" So what movies would you want to see on IMAX?

I've seen a lot of posts already saying, "sh0w suM pr0n!!!!1!!!"
People, think about what you're saying. Pornography (at least the modern sort) is shot for the small screen. The very small screen. Nineteen inch televisions or, even worse, computer monitors. As a result, its directors often go for the extreme closeup, usually to great effect.
Now think about these closeups on IMAX. Gaping orifices of every level of hygeine standing several stories high? I don't know about you, but that sounds more "nauseating" than "erotic."
So please, think twice before you request porn on the (really) big screen. This has been a public service announcement(TM).

Ahem. For you younger folk, this isn't another request for more pr0n. Jaws is a classic thriller about an unusually large Great White shark that eats people, starting with a girl skinny dipping in the ocean. Erk...
Well, OK, it's almost pr0n.

And don't forget that all of the guns will be replaced with walkie-talkies, and the entire cast will be replaced with digitally-created Ewoks!

If you actually like that kind of thing, a company called Goatse has found a way to give you the same effect on small screens by increasing the size of the orifice relative to the picture (and body).
Thus, you don't really need IMAX for that. A representative from goatse will probly post the URL's any second now for those interested.

How many of you realize that DMR is just a cleverly disguised ANAGRAM of D R M!!!
Yes, it took me several months of painstaking research to find the truth, and I may be killed or worse for posting it here!
That's right! DMR is just a way for the MPAA to sneak DRM past you unsuspecting tech junkies.
You poor bastards, you're unwittingly HELPING the MPAA!!!
