Maybe the technology will allow it, but I'm from Toronto where Imax was developed. They play the Wall there every year (at least when I was younger), and it is normal theatre size on a big Imax screen. What a rip off! The film is larger, so transferring from say 16 or 35 mm to Imax size would result in loss of quality. Now digitally speaking it should be possible to deal with this; all in all at great expense. So was it a full screen Imax deal or what? Sorry, but another cool thing that happened here is the old (and closed) planetarium laser shows put to PF music.

Comfortably floyd, i'd just like to assure you i'm not bigoted against Glasgow people in anyway and i actually like Glasgow as a city even if i do slightly prefer Edinburgh and the term weegie is used purely as a joke and nothing more

Just so you don't get the wrong idea of me

How do Glasgow people view us in Edinburgh anyway?

Are you really sure that that link related to Pulse being played in a IMAX cinama, I followed the link and it appeared to be a tribute band called Pulse playing a pub in Ebbw Vale. Ebbw Vale is an old steel work town in the valley of wales - "you know male voice choirs" - Billy.
