Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 01-25-2007 01:45 PM                     When I previewed this thing, the only problem I noticed was how dry the print was. Gave it 2 passes with FG, and it shut right up. Unfortunately, this bomb is hogging my one Dolby house! Wait until tonight (thursday)  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 01-25-2007 04:21 PM                     At least now a days you don't have to deal with these problems for very long, with all these crappy movies being pulled after a week of opening... Just wait it out.  |  IP: Logged Samuel Andrew Wetzel Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 02-10-2007 01:46 AM                     no issues with the hitcher whatsoever, i work with a bunch of bad film handlers, and there's a ton of static in my booth so i run every print through with film guard and i never experience any problems, scratches, or dirt on films....even on the marcus ultrascreen. using film-guard is my best advice.  |  IP: Logged
