Myself and a few friends are driving from Perth to Brisbane come Boxing Day, which means we'll miss out on The Return of the King premier in Perth. We'll be in Sydney in early January, so where would be the best cinema to watch ROTK. Would the THX certified theatre you guys have be a contender?

I'd like to hear positive experiences about what you would consider the best cinema. Base them on merits like size of screen, quality of audio (clarity, loudness, supporting SDDS, etc) and decent seating. I'll need to know the name of the complex and the cinema number itself.

make that all of west sydney.

Hey my local Hoyts does me fine, although working 30m opposite it with an underground security staff car park always helps :cheers:

Then again i think the last time i went to the movies was when Starwars Ep2 was released... damn ADSL :)

f*&^!!!!

i'm soooo fed up with stereotypical comments made about the west from northerners!!!

HERE, LET ME REMOVE THAT SILVER SPOON FROM YOUR ASS!!!!

:D

its comments like these that make me think how closed minded some of you northerners can be - so who are the real BOGAN's now!

i grew up in a suburb close to campbelltown and im sure there are members on this forum that live in other places to the rocks that you live under! places that have other symbolisms to the ones you portray of violence and vandalism!

so until you've lived or experienced somewhere other than your parents place, you can keep your damn self opinionated prejudiced comments to your bloody self! you have no idea what its like outside your front doorstep to be saying such crap about the west and im sure the people who live out that way don't appreciate your poorly judged sentiments!

that said, if the cinema is Hoyts and it has Cinemaxx you should be fine. If its Greater Union then make sure it has Senstadium. as for location. i couldnt give a ****. somewhere thats close to wherever i am is fine for me. i usually goto Broadway and Burwood.

Yeah chatswood would be my choice aswell, stay away from Liverpool,Bankstown, Cambelltown make that all of west sydney.

NJS let me pull the silver spoon out of your soo called rich ass.

I probably earn ten time more than you and I live in Campbelltown!!!

Big it up for campbelltown. Any place can be bad. Dont generalise. Campbelltown and the west have heaps of safe parking and nice people.

I grew up in the west and its made me a tough smart person. I dont rely on my snobby attitude to get me through life. The west is great. you should actually point your head straight one day instead of pointing your nose up and come out here. You wont get beaten or raped or whatever.

A year ago on the northside a guy was home invaded and forced to drink acid and he died. if anything goes I wouldnt go to your north side too many shallow arrogant people. Except nick By by hehehe

BWahahha u guys crack me up :D

Dont much like all this security talk, looks like the decision to just pass through Sydney was a good one. cant exactly take a taxi home, might cost a bit.

So no specialist theatres then? nothing that stands out from the rest? la premiere and all that is great but you still see the same screeen as the ppl in the poor sections right?

Oh and where can i get one of these silver spoons? are they expensive?

How about Reading Cinemas? There's a nice big one in Auburn. I first went to one of them in Perth, was thoroughly impressed.

I go a fair bit and you don't really seem to get that big a crowd, plus it's relatively new so the cinemas don't stink.

I went to the Drive-In's last nite. My own seat (hell my own car), my own speaker system, my own cheap lollies and I could sit (park) anywhere I want too :)

Best of all it was only $9 for 2 movies (Hoyts would charge you around $29 for that).

Thanks for the replies fellas. Looks like we're stopping at Melbourne before Sydney, so we'll be watching ROTK there instead.

benm, I don't think any one can take your opinion on cinema's seriously if you're happy downloading poor quality movies off the net and watching them on a pc. :looney: And don't get me started on drive ins... :)

I have lived in a number of areas around Sydney for various lengths of time - Some great areas, some not so great...

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
