Whatever happened to the blue sky intro trailer?

[jonrev]

@RacerXGTO That came later; around 86 I believe.

I remember this being the one used from the early 80s onward. I remember how disappointed I was in the way they changed it.  It didn't have the drums or the dots coming out of the projector. There is no beating the 70s version!

Man I remember when I was a kid there used to be a General Cinema in its own little building next to the local mall. This brings back memories! I remember I saw Back to the Future there, and Spies Like Us, Enemy Mine, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Project X, Little Shop of Horrors... ahh, the 80s!

There's nothing wrong with being too techie, you idiot! How f***in' dare you want to stop the progression of technology!  Go back to the '30s. Dumbass.

I remember being so pissed that they changed it from the old one to this crappy one. The original was the best!!
