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...

    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
