Damn, I hit enter while tweaking the post so the title got posted as is and I can't edit it now. Sorry about that.

Anyways, a tempting showing as Frankenstein is one of my all time favorites but unfortunately is in the middle of the week so I'll have to think about it.

Would be fun though in general I prefer to catch stuff like this in 35mm and I'm sure this is digital.

Not only digital, but likely pretty low quality. Fathom does not have a reputation for high quality presentations.

I saw my first Fathom event a couple of weeks ago, and it looked like a standard definition DVD blown up to the big screen. Not very rich in detail or color.

You're better off staying at home and watching a Blu-Ray
