Author Topic: THX Trailers Paul Rich Film Handler Posts: 56 From: Murfreesboro, TN, 37128 Registered: Nov 1999 posted 06-22-2002 12:42 PM                     Anybody know the best way to go about getting some new THX trailers? Ours are in horrible shape and don't even play in DTS any more. -Paul  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-22-2002 12:59 PM                     Contact THX Ltd and if your license is current they will provide them  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 06-23-2002 08:46 AM                        You can have 6 trailers a year free of charge. 2 lobby posters a year, and if your an all THX site, a free THX light box for the lobby.

She informed me that THX has deleted the GRAND trailer and replaced it with the SIMPSONS. Yes the SIMPSONS is back in stock, both in Scope and Flat mine are on the way. It is not on the order form, but when you order, just pencil it in.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-23-2002 12:41 PM                     Simpsons in scope? You sure about that? THX has released that one 3 times now I think and it's never been available in scope before (but it's finally MUL now). Do you have an email address for Sally?  |  IP: Logged Paul Rich Film Handler Posts: 56 From: Murfreesboro, TN, 37128 Registered: Nov 1999 posted 06-23-2002 12:41 PM                     If anyone has an order form for these trailers, could you please send it to paul-rich@comcast.net or fax it to 615-895-3346 -Paul Rich  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 06-23-2002 01:56 PM                     Is the simpsons one actually real?! I've have seen it on the web before and just thought it was a spoof taken from an episode.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 06-23-2002 02:04 PM                        Yes, it's real! What does Abe Simpson say in it? "It's not loud enough, turn it up!" (or something like that)  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 06-23-2002 04:05 PM                        "Turn it up, Turn it uh-up" (this while peoples heads are exploding and teeth are shattering.) I can't really understand why THX actually made those as they only perpatuate the notion that "Digital sound just means louder sound" and THX is nothing but a volume increase. Its not a technically showing trailer, like some of the THX: TEX ones (i'm a sucker for the cows!). My favorite is the THX: Cimmarron.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 06-23-2002 04:10 PM                     That's what I was thinking.. Do you really want heads exploding and shatering teeth to advertise your sound?  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 06-23-2002 07:23 PM                        I think the Simpsons THX trailer appeared on an episode first and then as a trailer. But I could only guess as to why THX played along with the joke in the first place (allowing it to be on the TV show with the real THX "deep note") and then ratified it by putting it in theatres. I guess those folks at Lucasfilm aren't too stuffy.  |  IP: Logged Brad Morris Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Los Angeles, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-23-2002 07:30 PM                     Yes, It's nice they can laugh at themselves. My favorite is still Cimmeron in 70MM.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-27-2002 09:44 AM                     Tom Holman seems to like The Simpsons trailer a lot. He spoke of it as though it were an honor to have been spoofed by the show. The entire time I was attending, that was the trailer he always showed to close out his first lecture to incoming production students at USC. In a real-world situation, I think it depends on the movie you are about to show. If it's a movie that a bunch of stoner kids are coming to see and their brownies are just kicking in then that's a great trailer to run. On the other hand, if you're about to run "On Golden Pond" then maybe it might be best to forego the THX trailer entirely. Is there a quiet THX logo trailer? I'll tell you which THX trailers I can't stand...The ones with the robot guy...Tex? Hate those.  |  IP: Logged Bob Brown Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Grand Rapids, MI Registered: Apr 2002 posted 06-28-2002 10:54 AM                        Just Wondering,,,,,, Brad, how long do you think it will be until DTS gets the Simpsons back on the discs?  |  IP: Logged Bob Brown Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Grand Rapids, MI Registered: Apr 2002 posted 07-01-2002 08:43 PM                        Hey!! I just recieved my new THX trailers today, and the Simpsons are now in the House!!  |  IP: Logged
