In Princeton NJ, the Princeton Garden Theatre ran The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys from 6/29-7/11. The print and the cans are waiting to be picked up -- more than 2 months after the film has played. I caught a glimpse of the cans yesterday while I was at the Garden Theatre to see a different movie.

I still have a print I screened one time in November 1998 and it was brand new from the lab then. After several attempts to get it moved I gave up. It must've never made it onto their computer.

Unfortunately it's a sucky movie and even lacks either of the two digital sound processes I can play in favor of that "other" one--can you guess the distributor? I already gave away one of the cans to a print from the same company's classics division that came in inexplicably half in a can and half in a box (prints in boxes all the time but half and half has to mean someone stole or lost one can).

If I would still work in post I would cut the print up and turn it into soundtrack filler.
