Author Topic: Technicolor Developing an ELR? AAAAAAGGGHH!!! Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-26-1999 08:38 PM                     A week ago or so I was visiting Technicolor's web site and read that they were developing their own version of the 6000' ELR. Given the reputation of their 'old-style' break apart 2000' reels I have only one thing to say: AAAAGGHH @#^$&@$&^!! Geena Davis said it best, actually: ...Be Afraid. Be VERY Afraid...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-26-1999 09:25 PM                     This is ridiculous. These people can't even make a 2000' reel that will halfway stay together! Imagine chasing after a 6000' roll of film unraveling down the hallway!!! I'm convinced now this is just another little something to further push the industry into digital cinema. They just bought a huge chunk of stock. It's all making sense now.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-27-1999 02:44 AM                        Good. About damn time! I can't wait for digital cinema. I hate working. I want to sit on my ass and rot because I lost my job to a VCR. But seriously, Technicolor 6000 foot reels will break apart much easier than their 2000 foot reels, I am willing to bet.  |  IP: Logged
