Author Topic: "Drowning" Drowning Mona William Dickson Film Handler Posts: 41 From: Riverside, Ca. USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-03-2000 02:17 PM                     When one of our theaters received its copy of Drowning Mona yesterday, can 2 containing reels 3-5 contained aproximately 2 cups of water. When I called Technicolor they said this happened to a number of copies. Anyone else have this experience? Is it just coincidence that it happened to a film with a "Water-based" title? We did have new reels by 10:30 p.m.  |  IP: Logged Bryan Redemske Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Cedar Falls, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-03-2000 02:59 PM                     actually, one of the reels i grabbed felt kinda damp. no big deal at all, but now that you mention it, it was wet. innnnteresting....  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

And then if we get that film I bet the radar-ranged prints will come to me. --Chris  |  IP: Logged William Dickson Film Handler Posts: 41 From: Riverside, Ca.

Maybe it was the fact that he was driving one of those new convertible Airborne Express vans they are testing here in "sunny" Southern California.  |  IP: Logged
