Author Topic: Looper - repeat customers Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-09-2012 01:13 AM                     All of you theaters running Looper might want to post this link on your websites. It is a director commentary designed for people to play on their portable MP3 players on a repeat viewing of Looper in cinemas. It could help bring back repeat customers.

We'll be using it here in Bradford  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 10-10-2012 05:22 AM                     This is a fantastic idea. Hopefully studios will start putting these out for more movies. It would be nice for studios to give people a reason to go to theatres more instead of less.  |  IP: Logged Scott Jentsch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1061 From: New Berlin, WI, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 10-10-2012 12:12 PM                        Thanks for the link! This is a very cool idea, and it's definitely a way for people to enjoy the movie in different ways, which could result in multiple viewings in theaters before it hits home video. I wrote a Journal article to bring attention to our readers about it: http://www.bigscreen.com/journal.php?id=2686  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 10-10-2012 12:13 PM                     Neato. I've actually always pondered watching a film with commentary with a large audience. There are a handful of commentaries on video that are extraordinarily insightful and entertaining.

Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-10-2012 03:31 PM                     Is this why they called the movie "Looper"? (That's what Apple calls a computer that keeps coming back with issues.) Hopefully nobody gets stuck sitting next to somebody who is playing the commentary. That might be annoying. Why wasn't this commentary provided with the DCP? Personally, I'm a little concerned that the director feels that a commentary is in order. It makes me wonder: Did something go wrong with this movie?  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-10-2012 03:51 PM                     quote: Manny Knowles Why wasn't this commentary provided with the DCP?

Someone with headphones laughing at a spot where there's normally nothing funny going on on screen wouldn't be a good thing.  |  IP: Logged
