Bahh we just got an email from our booker stating that Waiting will be delivered via courier at 9am tomorrow. I was hoping to preview it.  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 10-08-2005 10:12 PM                     Man, I loved getting the movies in on Wed, I say we all call Technicolor and bug them until they switch it permanently  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-08-2005 11:30 PM                     Not sure if its entirely up to Tech, that decision likely involves the studios.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-09-2005 04:20 AM                     Dustin is right, it's not up to Technicolor. Buena Vista started that nonsense when TES was formed by demanding the prints not be delivered more than 24 hours prior to the first showtime for piracy fear...then it just became the way they did business as new studios joined the service. I suppose if you really wanted to get at the people responsible, you could always conveniently fail to play the trailers and display their posters, banners and standees of the studios that ship from TES. (Yes, yes I know trailers are mandated by the chains. It's a joke.)  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 10-09-2005 03:10 PM                        Last week I set a personal record of 8-8-16. That's 8 builds, 8 outs, and 16 moves. So when the two orange-can prints came in a day early, I was thrilled and built them both up to hack into the 8-print mountain.  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 11-02-2005 11:00 AM                     After a couple of weeks of not getting prints on Wednesday but on Thursday I just received one copy of Chicken Little today. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow for the other one.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-02-2005 12:27 PM                        We got our Chicken Little today too. Guess I'll stage a FREE midnight show tonight for all the little pirates out there! (Note to Disney: I'm kidding.)  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
