Author Topic: Grey Boxes for shipping Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-25-2003 12:42 AM                     I too have received half a film with a wicked twist: Back in the art-repro days of the Phoenix Theatre, we were screening a print of a porno-history-documentary (complete with lots of 'historical' XXX footage) called 'History Of The Blue Movie'... We got two cans, both labeled as 'History...', one can had reels 1-2-3 of 'History' and the other can had reels 4-5-6-7 of 'The Kids Are Alright' (a PG-rated documentary film about the rock group The Who, for those who are unfamiliar with the film)... I could imagine the faces of the people that had booked that print of 'The Kids Are Alright' -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Gary Crawford Expert Film Handler Posts: 200 From: Neptune NJ USA Registered: Nov 2003 posted 11-25-2003 11:44 AM                     My first post. Please be gentle with me? The first Fox Box I received had a broken handle. Doesn't sound so bad except...I run a real old booth. Ladder access, rope and pulley film delivery system, and therefore no way to get the box with the broken handle up to the booth. We ordered another print, got it the next day. Since then the boxes have been intact. Most prints still come in metal cans.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-25-2003 03:37 PM                        OSHA, NIOSH, and other guidelines for lifting heavy parcels: OSHA Back Guidelines Univ.

They had already transfered prints to TES and ETS. But they left hundreds of prints behind. While I was exploring the depot. I found an old pair of Goldberg 5 reel cases. They were the heavy old style cases.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-25-2003 09:24 PM                    ...which you pushed aside and went back to loading the abandoned 70mm prints in your van.  |  IP: Logged
