IMAX - New York update etc.

[P3D Franklin J. Flocks <fjf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

       I visited the Sony the Imax Theater in New York last week and
       saw Across the Sea of Time -  The souvenir stand next to the 
       theater was closing out most merchandise at 50% off,  
       including the Viewmaster reels with scenes from this movie. - 
       Before the movie began, they showed a preview of an upcoming 
       3D science fiction movie.  (Sorry, I don't remember the 
       title), but it looks like it will be good.  - 

       I thought Across the Sea of Time was a considerably better 
       movie than Wings of Courage, which I saw last year. 

       I was also impressed by the large mirror stereoscopes in the 
       display area, which worked very well with the large blowups of 
       stereo cards. - Only problem with them was that no 
       instructions on how to use them were visible, and most 
       visitors to the display area seemed pretty confused by them.  

       -  Also on Saturday morning August 24th, I was standing 
       outside the NBC studios at Rockefeller Center with my Stereo 
       Realist - I was snapping pictures of the Saturday Today show 
       cast, who were doing part of the show outside the studio - 
       when Saturday today co-host Jody Applegate, pointed a microphone 
       at me, and interviewed me about my camera. - She then asked me 
       to take a picture of her and co-host Jack Ford, which I did.
