posted on friday january 16 2026 by tin man twenty five years ago today i started blogging in december 2000 i read a new york times article about blogs a couple of weeks later i came across rebecca mead s famous new yorker article you ve got blog where i learned about jason kottke and some other prominent bloggers i decided to give blogging a shot i d always enjoyed writing and it seemed like a fun group of people i was at a point in my life where i didn t know very many people i was a single twentysomething gay guy living in nyc well jersey city and wanted to establish a social life i came across some blogs by other gay men and i wanted to be part of that community so i started a blog and it changed my life most importantly blogging helped me meet matt technically we connected through a mutual friend on friendster rip friendster but we already knew of each other s blogs and our mutual friend was also a blogger in fact i made several good friends through blogging people who are still dear friends today even my name on bluesky and on previous social media sites comes from this blog sometimes i miss the blogging era for a while in the early to mid 2000s there was a vibrant gay blogging world there were meetups of gay bloggers in nyc and elsewhere that community had some characters i rarely blog anymore my last post was two and a half years ago everything moved to social media long ago where people just write in very short bursts but blogging actually encouraged you to write to have thoughts and to express those thoughts in paragraphs not just in a couple of sentences sometimes you don t know what you think until you write about it blogging could encourage you to think at any rate my site is still here in fact i just moved it to a new hosting service last spring even if i barely blog any more this place isn t going anywhere it s still here when i need it it s my own site powered by wordpress and not dependent on the social media fad of the moment in the meantime you know where to find me posted in general oppenheimer at amc lincoln square imax 70mm posted on tuesday july 25 2023 by tin man i originally posted this on reddit so i live in new york city but i d been completely unaware of the significance of seeing oppenheimer in imax 70mm until i read the new york times interview with nolan last week i d bought a ticket in regular old laser projection not imax or 70mm or anything special then i read that article and i thought damn i wish i d known i went online and all the showings in imax 70mm at lincoln square were sold out for the three week run except for some seats in the front row on the sides and i wasn t interested in that because i thought it would be incredibly uncomfortable so on saturday i saw oppenheimer at the regular old movie theater decent seat in a recliner there was a small green pixel on the side of the screen the whole time but i mostly didn t notice terrific movie but i was still having fomo about imax 70mm so in the next few days i kept reloading various showings on the amc website over and over because people sometimes cancel eventually seat e32 opened up for wednesday morning so i snagged the ticket but i kept wondering whether it would be hard to watch from that angle and distance the seat was was 3 4 along the row 32nd out of 42 seats and i wondered if it would be too close it might have been fine but i kept on reloading various showings throughout the next day because why not finally last night seat l25 opened up for the following morning this morning i grabbed it immediately second row from the back just 3 seats off center yes please so i saw it this morning there were two guys in the near center of the row l22 23 and i asked them when they d bought their tickets they said june 1 and they were visiting all the way from iowa on top of that whoever had the ticket next to me for l24 never showed up so 30 minutes into the movie i finally moved into that seat one seat closer to the center my seat was practically perfect what a great experience to see it on such a huge screen honestly there wasn t a whole lot of the movie that really needed to be in the imax aspect ratio since deep down it s more of a character film and there are hardly any shots that linger on outdoor landscapes so there s not really a chance to immerse yourself in those also there were bits of dust or something that kept appearing and sticking around on the screen for extended periods of time these little dark spots that would just hang out especially over characters faces which was a little distracting especially in the black and white shots does anyone know why that would happen this was only the fifth day of showings is it just the nature of film something having to do with dust getting caught in the imax projectors are those projectors hard to maintain or have i just gotten so used to pristine digital projection update someone responded to me in another reddit thread it s dust in the film gate of the projector because of the nature of imax being a big blown up image on the screen ordinary specs of dust look enormous imax has a great compressed air dust busting system so there s actually less dust than normal film projection but what gets through looks big yes digital doesn t have this issue it was also a bit distracting to have the aspect ratio constantly shift between regular and tall and the film resolution was less sharp in the regular shots as well i don t remember a difference between shots when i saw it in the ordinary theater in addition a lot of the dialogue was hard to hear i d had the same issue in the ordinary theater and i d thought the sound mix would be better at imax but it wasn t the music and explosions etc were nice and loud and reverberating in imax but the dialogue wasn t any easier to make out than in the ordinary theater i know i m being nitpicky it really was a wonderful experience and my persistence totally paid off in an excellent seat so if you live near an imax 70mm and are despairing at not having gotten a ticket already keep reloading the website for your theater because seats do open up posted in general
