Author Topic: Ladder 49 print delivery Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-30-2004 08:12 PM                        Anyone else have their prints delievered elsewhere today? Technicolor stated that mine woudl be delivered as ewarly as 0700 TOMORROW. The prints wound up in Florida somehow. Probably at a drive in that isn't even operational due to the recent hurricanes.. Oh, and they included letters about the new reels (orange-imagine that!). Yeah Technicolor for addressing an issue that's been a MAJOR concern for, oh, about 7 years now..  |  IP: Logged Shane Hoffmann Film Handler Posts: 68 From: Fond du Lac, WI, USA Registered: Feb 2003 posted 09-30-2004 09:41 PM                     Our print of Ladder 49 arrived (at the right place) yesterday. We never get prints earlier than Thursday morning so I was a little surprised.  |  IP: Logged Sam Johnson II Film Handler Posts: 25 From: Waynesburg, KY, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 10-01-2004 02:30 AM                     Yeah, our two prints came in Wednesday morning as well. Maybe they were actually someone else's?  |  IP: Logged Don Anderson Master Film Handler Posts: 312 From: West Bend, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-01-2004 02:45 AM                     Are print arrived on Wednesday night too.  |  IP: Logged Greg Davis Film Handler Posts: 96 From: Vista, Ca, USA Registered: Sep 2004 posted 10-01-2004 02:52 AM                     Orange reels? is this about swapping out our crappy ones for their sweet ones? i mean who would do that .... ?  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-01-2004 05:58 AM                        hmmm, we got some new-looking orange reels a couple weeks ago, with absolutely no dog-holes. breakdown will be interesting. carl  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-01-2004 12:41 PM                     Technicolor actually called around 11 pm wanting to know if we received our 1 print of Shark Tale. We told them no, we received 4 prints like we were supposed too. Gotta wonder!  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-01-2004 02:40 PM                        I received two follow up calls to check if delivery was made.. My prints were originally delievered to Vero Beach, Fl... WTF?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-01-2004 04:41 PM                        The new orange reels are OK. Let's see how they stand up after being taken apart 100 times though. They made a big deal out of one orange reel per print of SHARK TALE, but we got a print in a couple of weeks ago that was all on the new orange reels. Not sure what title it was though.  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 10-01-2004 05:24 PM                     We got ours on Wed too  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-02-2004 05:52 AM                     we got ours a day early as well, along with Mr. 3000 two weeks before  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-02-2004 10:12 AM                        Hearing all you guys state that you get prints on Wed. makes me want to . There is simply NO REASON, barring late print striking, that prohibits us from getting the prints on Wed's also. Why in the name of God our film buyers don't get with the program and request Wed delivery is beyond me. Maybe it's all the bootlegs running around that were filmed from a handheld videocamera in my theatre... Nothing to get excited about regarding the new orange reels. Although I found the accompanying letter quite humerous. quote: We are hopeful this design feature will help eliminate injuries caused by reels detaching from the core. Rachel, they found out about your little booth fiasco some years ago...  |  IP: Logged
