Author Topic: Hey you, you suck! (AKA: Outing bad film handlers) Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-15-2005 11:58 AM                        Scott, make her take the difference off the top of the net; if you are not making any money off this engagement, get her to deduct it from the guarantee on the next engagment the next time you book anything with her. The difference between Priority and 2nd day no small mistake. You shouldn't have to eat it.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Alt Expert Film Handler Posts: 111 From: Lakewood, OH, USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 01-15-2005 01:26 PM                     CWRU Sci Fi Marathon 30 To the jerk responsible for shipping us a box marked "Real Genius" (the movie we orderded), containing a complete print of the movie "Amelie". "Amelie" may be a perfectly good movie, but it's not what we ordered, and it's definitely NOT sci fi. Jerk. *** Part 2 To whoever last had our print of "Predator," and completely rearranged the headers and tails without leaving reference frames.. you REALLY suck! This movie is TOUGH to identify where you are just by looking at it, because it's ALL IN THE FRICKIN JUNGLE! Jerk.  |  IP: Logged Ari Nordström Master Film Handler Posts: 283 From: Göteborg, Sweden Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-17-2005 08:07 AM                     Hey, can I out a little Swedish operation in Värnamo? To the "projectionist" at Metropol: Remember that print of "Return of the King" you abused recently? If you ever even *think* about using masking tape on a print again (you know, marking the five or so first and last frames of every reel, for instance on sprocket holes, or those weird little dotty thingies between sprocket holes, or those greenish areas on the edges) I'll kill your cat. And burn your booth to the ground.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-17-2005 04:43 PM                     quote: If you ever even *think* .....

Shoot the guy int he face but let's leave the cat out of it.  |  IP: Logged Ari Nordström Master Film Handler Posts: 283 From: Göteborg, Sweden Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-18-2005 03:13 AM                     Awww, pleeease.

First, you find a dead fish wrapped in newspaper on your doorstep. Then you find your cat dead on your doorstep. Then, one by one, you find members of your family, dead in their beds. Finally, when there's nobody left, you KNOW they are coming for YOU! There's nothing like terrorizing your victim before you finally do him in!  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-18-2005 09:29 AM                        Or you can kill the cat and leave it hanging in a refrigerated truck trailer. (Goodfellas, baby!)  |  IP: Logged Ari Nordström Master Film Handler Posts: 283 From: Göteborg, Sweden Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-18-2005 06:03 PM                     Unless, of course, it's really his cat running the show. In that case, I'll get rid of him first.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-27-2005 12:50 AM                     Ok, WTF is up with TES!! Hey, whomever wound my print of Alone In The Dark during the WONDERFUL inspection process at TES, YOU SUCK!!! Every single reel was heads up, I'll give you that, but EVERY reel was wound backwards!!(head coming off left side of reel onto platter rather than typical right side) I do like though that every reel was the new orange one, but now I need a new reel for my reel 4 because one came apart on the MUT!! Guys, how does film wind on a platter? Does coming off a reel on the right side indicate emulsion out or base out?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-27-2005 12:55 AM                     It depends on your platter Richard. Also, TES is not paid to physically wind through the entire reel by the studio. As such, so long as the print you got sent was in good condition, you really can't put them in the "you suck" category. (Now if the print was received with lots of damage on it, then they would belong here.)  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-27-2005 01:00 AM                     ok, well then My Bad I have a Speco LP-270 platter BTW So, it was the studio that wound it wrong?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-27-2005 01:04 AM                     Well geez Richard you tell me...was the print brand new? If so then that would've been the lab's fault. Was the print used? If so then that would've been the last theater's fault. And now I must clarify, what model MUT are you using? SPECO makes more than one. And is the soundtrack toward or away from you? (Soundtrack up on the platter is emulsion out...you could just figure it out for yourself knowing that.)  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-27-2005 01:09 AM                     Ok, not enough info... Yes the print was brand new. I am using the beautiful LP-271 model MUT(The wooden POS). I load the film soundtrack up. Is it bad for the film to be wound emulsion in?  |  IP: Logged
