My guess is that you had some sort of radio promo/word-of-mouth screening Thursday night. The shipping for these types of screenings are paid by the STUDIOS. I never once have been billed for one of these prints. Then Friday, was the national sneak w/ Finding Nemo. These bookings were made at different times ... so they have separate entries in the TES computer. Often, simply pointing this out to TES rep over the phone will correct the situation. They probably needed the print for an early-morning trade somewhere else ... but sometimes arrangements can be made ... otherwise ... let's not forget ... the prints are the property of the studios ... so we're kind of at their mercy.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-21-2003 07:32 PM                     Mr. Pytlak sayeth: quote: BTW, the June 28 LA Times reported that Jack Valenti is 81 and is contemplating retirement. Several people from outside the MPAA have been named as a possible successor. I think Joe Redifer is the ideal person for the job.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-21-2003 07:35 PM                        Count me in!

The cans are so damn cheap anyway. Or, just use a hack saw to saw your way through that fruitcake hasp they have on the cans. Or, just simply use a tin snips or a can opener. Another way is to use a hammer and a chisel to pop the worthless rivets that half-assed secure the hinges. Besides, by looking at that shit I project on the screen, I don't think any of that crap is worth the time or effort to bootleg to begin with! It is all  |  IP: Logged
