Lack of Digital Screens for Attack of the Clones

spt writes: "CNN Entertainment has an article describing Lucas Arts' disappointment at the lack of digital screens available for Attack of the Clones. When the Phantom Menace was released, they were hoping that, by May 2002, there would be 2000 digital screens. That estimate dropped to 'several hundred', but the reality is that now there are only 20 digital screen in the U.S. Who has been lucky enough to see a digitally produced film in one of these 20? Is there enough of a benefit to think that more screens will be converted to digital projection?"

If the movie's quality is anywhere near Episode I, no kind of screen is going to save it. In that case I'm just going to rent the VHS tape when it comes out.

Lots of info and shop-talk but what the hell are you talking about? Try explaining yourself better. I couldn't even see the point of it.
