Mike Carro Film Handler Posts: 67 From: Tempe, Az USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 09-03-2008 06:44 PM                        I just saw Tropic Thunder there and the picture was rock steady. I figured this would be the place if any to find out.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-03-2008 06:47 PM                        I was under the impression that Harkins likes to install Christies.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
