Author Topic: Simplex XL Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-18-2005 11:07 PM                     Scott Norwood needs to fix that little teeny error in the RAMT FAQ... -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 01-19-2005 02:40 AM                        Just for the record: Phil doesn't have a fireplace. Don't believe what he says.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-19-2005 05:01 PM                  Gosh Mike, where are you getting that I-30 stuff? I guess I have a chimney with a spark arrestor just for kicks and giggles... Gee... that sure looks like a fireplace to me... But WTF do I know?  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2005 05:38 PM                        Aaron is right--I need to fix a bunch of little errors. And have needed to do so for, oh, about seven years now. It's 'on the list.'  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-19-2005 05:58 PM                  Yeah, I agree Aaron and Scott. With all due respect to Scott, I too have noticed many errors in that document. In the meantime those errors are misleading people. Andrew's confusion is a good example of why the document should be removed until corrected?  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2005 07:43 PM                     Yeah, but I want to know what the hell that yellowish-gold figure is to the left of the fireplace and in front of the bookshelf? Some weird-ass sexual potentcy statue with coconut shells over the breasts . . . or something . . .  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-19-2005 08:05 PM                  Aaron, that's too funny! I debated with myself whether to "blur" that out or not... But then I thought to myself: "Eh, no one would really notice that"... I guess I was wrong, huh? Hahahhahahaha It's an Asian "Love Goddess" or a Mexican piñata... not sure which...  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 01-20-2005 02:29 AM                     How old is that picture Phil? I never saw that statue at your house.. come to think of it, I couldn't even see the floor!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-20-2005 02:34 AM                     Notice how the picture of the "inside" isn't as clear as the shot of the outside? It's just another artist's rendering.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-20-2005 03:31 PM                  Danny & Brad: My my my, you guys are a laugh a minute... a real riot! quote: Dan Lyons ...couldn't even see the floor! quote: Brad Miller ...just another artist's rendering. Yes Danny, that pic was before remodeling and packing up stuff for moving. It is NOT an "artist's rendering" as our Grand-Poo-BAH suggested but the only pic I had that showed my fireplace. However, below is a current pic showing part of the fireplace. JEEZE! You guys sure make something outta nothin'!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-20-2005 09:27 PM                     Phil, I think what everyone is getting at is that a nice mood shot with a roaring fire and you all snuggly under your blanky reading the Imax... oops excuse me.... Iwerks manual is whats needed. Otherwise we all might as well assume its just one of those fake fireplaces with alumnium foil twirling around and a red bulb to simulate the glow..... .

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 01-20-2005 09:41 PM                        Mark, Phil would never use twirling aluminum foil for a fire effect. Shredded strips of clear plastic sheet with some amber and flame-colored lamps and a blower, a la Disneyland, works quite well. "Simplex Valdez"... I love it!  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-21-2005 01:10 AM                     Looks like Phil's house is sinking... COOTTanic, maybe? Edit: And BTW, the ONLY decent XL's are the old National Theatre Supply/Simplex made models. The new ones from Ballanswine are crap!! Makes me mad that they cheapened an great head. Or for real , anybody want a GPL or Singer version?  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-21-2005 01:12 PM                     XL's are by far the best I have ever worked with. I know the Century guys might argue with me, but the Simplex XL beats the Century's hands down in my opinion.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-21-2005 02:27 PM                     quote: Joshua Waaland XL's are by far the best I have ever worked with... (LOL cuz, in your profile picture, you're standing by one mounted in front of a Peerless Magnarc..) I'll show you my XL's that were mine for 12 yrs before this theatre was closed down. It was said that Century's were called "the Projectionist's Projector" being so well built, easy to maintain, excellent film handling, et.al. .. -Monte  |  IP: Logged
