This has been made very clear to us by upper management.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

The Cinemascope Extension was composed by Alfred Newman specifically to promote Cinemascope films. _Aliens_ is flat and so the shorter original fanfare is expected. In fact, in the seventies and eighties, even anamorphic Fox films, like _Alien_, sometimes used the shorter fanfare.<< AFAIK, Fox went [back] to using the full-length fanfare on all titles shortly after NewsCorp bought the company and they introduced the new-style 'flyover' logo tag.

They sometimes send a nice little note to remind you that it must be returned on the print, but that's it. Many of the attached trls we end up not even running the feature they advertise anyway, so... BTW, Aliens had no fanfare at all from memory, just some Alien-y sort of James Horner music.  |  IP: Logged Tao Yue Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Princeton, NJ Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-08-2001 08:12 AM                        You're probably right. I only saw _Aliens_ once -- not even the original, but the director's cut -- from a changeover booth running 2000-foot reels, as the sixth feature in a 14-hour science-fiction marathon. So I really can't recall whether or not there was a fanfare.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 06-08-2001 09:43 AM                     AFAIK, "The Sound Of Music" 35mm prints had a silent Fox logo. I have a few other titles that are silent. I, too, think that there should be printed frame lines at the start of R1, and any reels that have a fade-in/out. Frame counters are great, but I rarely see one.  |  IP: Logged
