If you have midnight shows and get a bad reel or have any other problem, you're out of luck. Also, depending on the circumstances, you may be out of luck for your early shows on Friday as well. I think we are all getting a little sick and tired of the bum's rush we are getting with show make-up. Guess nothing is going to happen until one of the major chains has a problem at a premier location, if then.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 05-06-2010 06:28 PM                        I'm also troubled by the inclusion of a 5 minute trailer pack which is not identified, but "must be played". I guess it sort of follows the saying, "He who has the gold makes the rules". Gold in this case being a major tent pole release.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 05-06-2010 07:17 PM                        Email I got sez its: Shrek Forever After #3 Last Airbender #4 UPP #1 "Please program the appropriate trailers as instructed by your home office"!  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 05-06-2010 10:17 PM                        Update: Looks like "UPP #1" is a teaser for Spielberg's "Super 8"  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-07-2010 06:00 PM                        Why is it called Super 8? Is that the format it was shot on? (I'm being sarcastic...well, hopefully)  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 05-08-2010 01:05 PM                        quote: Mike Blakesley Why is it called Super 8? Not much on the film's official website yet. But according to Film O Filia: "...written and directed by J.J. Abrams and based on his original idea is produced by Steven Spielberg. It revolves around a bunch of kids who shoot a movie with a Super 8 camera in the late 70s. When they develop the movie, they notice that there's an alien creature in the frame."  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 05-14-2010 10:34 AM                     quote: Jack Ondracek Update: Looks like "UPP #1" is a teaser for Spielberg's "Super 8" I think you mean J.J. Abrams. It doesn't sound like Spielberg has much at all to do with it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2010 06:31 PM                        Spielberg is producing. (Or in some spots, I've seen "executive" producing.) That can be a big deal -- he was a producer on Gremlins, Back to the Future, etc.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 05-15-2010 01:16 PM                     As well as Joe Vs. The Volcano and Batteries Not Included... Producer can have an influence, or they can simply be someone who fronts a little cash or officially hires people. Everything I've seen has indicated this one is all Abrams. I should rephrase that everyone is praying Spielberg has little to nothing to do with Super 8, since he's completely lost it and turns out utter crap.  |  IP: Logged
