The pictures at the top are too small and I can’t see what they are. Also, you might want to put a text bar along the bottom of the screen with all the links on the page, just in case viewers had images turned off.

I saw how you threw your free ipod link in the bottom, nice touch.

all the pictures at the top are clickable to take you to the full screen image.  Didn’t want to make them too big, but you are right, they are rather small to see what they actually are.  they are only 30X30.  maybe I will try to up that a little.

Didn’t think about the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.  most pages shouldn’t span far enough, but the front page does.  I’ll put that on my todo list as well.


Yeah, I thought the free ipod link on there would be key.  I’ve had 2 referrals from that already, although none are completed yet, I can only hope.

:lol:

And I agree about the pic-size.  I like the concept of the design though: film images on a reel.  You should describe what clicking on the images will take you to, as well.

It was a little odd at first, because clicking on one in the middle took me to a picture of what looked like the lobby. Then clicking on another one took me to a preview of “AVP - Alien Vs Predator.” I was expecting another picture of the theater.

Yeah, the first 10 are theatre pics, as it was being built.  the second 10 are of the 10 newest movies.

An alt tag would be key for those images

yes yes.  alt tags.  I have them on the movie poster images.  not on the theatre build images.  new I would have forgotten them somewhere.


Thanks for all the input guys.

Ah, that’s the nature of HTML.  Always a broken link somewhere.

that it is.  I’m surprised the people here haven’t found some gaping hole in it somewhere.  or mentioned finding the hidden easter egg in the site.

Do I have to look at the page source? Cause I’m too lazy to find your easter egg. If it takes me more than 30 seconds, I won’t do it.

now if I told you what the username and password is, would it really be an easter egg.

Lets put it this way.  The easter egg has been around since november of last year, and last time I checked it had only been found 3 times.

does anyone that has looked at this website have dialup?  the reason i ask is someone emailed the webmaster about the top set of 20 pictures in the filmstrip.  I did something really stupid.

I had all of them full size images, with just the image tag forcing it down to the 30X30.  meaning that all those images were being fully loaded, and on dialup 20 pictures of 80k in size is a little hefty.

On a side note, anyone know how to thumbnail an image, without making a second file?

You have to make a second file. There are PHP scripts that will generate the image for you, though.

only problem is those images are created dynamically.  So I’ll just have to find something that can dynamically make a thumbnail of the image once the image file is made.

No problem. Also check with your host, alot of times imagemagick is pre-installed on hosting servers. It was for me.  😊


Hector you’re right some helpful people here.
