Author Topic: Monsters Inc. Out-takes Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-05-2001 09:33 PM                     Just saw a TV ad tonight announcing out-takes will be shown on Monsters, Inc. beginning 12/7/2001.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-05-2001 10:18 PM                     Boy, now thats a real marketing ploy! Even I'd have to go see it again I suppose.

I was pretty amused with the Harry Potter charades trailer, always cracks me up when I pass by it playing in the lobby.  |  IP: Logged Andy Muirhead Master Film Handler Posts: 323 From: Galashiels, Scotland Registered: Dec 2000 posted 12-06-2001 07:10 PM                     Reminds me of A Bugs Life when we received a new last reel after a few weeks run, with new out-takes. The plan was for a new press ad campaign stating 'brand new out-takes' or something. I don't see that as any incentive for going to see a film again just for the new out-takes but it was a change for the staff to see something different on the credits. What a waste of money though, and time.  |  IP: Logged Paul Harnden Expert Film Handler Posts: 107 From: Chandler, AZ, USA Registered: Oct 2001 posted 12-06-2001 11:28 PM                     I guess it's targeted for those two or three people who have nothing better to do than to fork out five to eight bucks to go see the same movie but with different credits. Why couldn't they just wait until the DVD comes out and push it on there as a special feature? Oh well.....  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 12-07-2001 07:32 AM                     Confirmed per newspaper ads this morning. Don't look for this "re-release" to stick around long unless you're running a megaplex. All the Xmas product coming up means something's got to give -- and the Monsters are that something.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 12-08-2001 01:49 AM                     We got it (new R5 of Monsters w/ new DTS "B" disc.) Came on a core and most theaters don't have a split reel, so there will be some fun there.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-08-2001 03:12 AM                     ALL theatres have split reels! Some just don't know it! Simply take a reel out of the TES film can of your choice, gently pull on the halves, and voila! Split reel! hehehe -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 12-08-2001 05:29 PM                     Aaron is right. That's what I had to do. I frickin hate that! Why can't they frickin send the replacement reel on a frickin reel??  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-08-2001 05:34 PM                     I don't understand why this bothers so many people. I think the US is just about the only place where film DOES come on reels. Besides, most of the TES reels don't stay together anyway, so everyone should be used to handling film on cores by now.  |  IP: Logged Ben Stephenson Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Manchester, England Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-22-2002 06:00 PM                    Just got Monsters inc on DLP and there are out takes and very funny but the early 35mm copy (got it 8 weeks early) didnt have any!  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-25-2002 04:47 AM                        Working in an art house that runs lots of foreign film festivals, we are used to films on cores, films NOT on cores (even a split reel is of little help when there is nothing but the end of the film in the center of the roll) and film -- in 1000ft rolls -- no cores, wrapped like sandwiches in Italian newspaper. All this is usually shipped in banged and battered cardboard boxes, not in film shipping cans. Some boxes are hardly boxes at all, just pieces of cardboard around which yard and yards of shipping tape is wrapped. Rolls of film on cores nicely packed in a FedEx a shipping box -- heck, we consider that high-tech!  |  IP: Logged Ben Stephenson Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Manchester, England Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-25-2002 01:30 PM                    For the DLP someone comes out spends 5/6 hrs putting the film on the hard drive and all we have to do is press 'play' Its a hard life  |  IP: Logged James R.
