Would it be ok if someone finds it and post it here ? Just wondering.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 04-29-2008 05:26 PM                     That would be asking yourself to get fired  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-29-2008 06:16 PM                        Or your theatre to never get another Paramount or Deluxe print.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-29-2008 08:20 PM                     Do they really think that some locks will stop somebody who stands to make some money by pirating the movie from cutting them off?  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 04-29-2008 08:35 PM                     I feel you guys pain. I am having to re-work my whole Thursday schedule because of this shit. We are having to drop several films Thurs. afternoon just to screen this damn thing. I sure wish they would stop this shit. Where have I read this before? Is it just too much to ask for a WEDNESDAY delivery?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-30-2008 12:00 AM                     Remember Bruce to cancel Paramount films in order to do the proper check-screening. Also think twice about programming Paramount trailers for the next 6 months. It's only fair.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-30-2008 12:06 AM                        So has anyone...ANYone ever written to the Exhibitor Relations people at the studios about this kind of thing? I know I haven't, but it doesn't affect me much with one screen. You multiplex guys really get screwed on this kind of thing. You can get the addresses/contact numbers etc from the various studio websites. If you DO write and hear something back, be sure to post your results here somewhere.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 04-30-2008 12:18 AM                        Another thing that bothers me about this is that I am in the process of training someone to build up. She's done 4-5 films on her own at this point. Because we may have to play it unseen, I'm going to have to build it myself. Which means she loses some experience. And then we have the same situation in 3 weeks.  |  IP: Logged Jake Lafree Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Valparaiso, IN USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 04-30-2008 01:00 AM                        10,000 possible combinations......I'm going to have at least 7 people working to discover the code Wednesday night.......some are at another theater that will get their prints about 90 mins before we do. We should have it in the bag.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-30-2008 01:50 AM                     Although I don't actually want anyone doing this, it would be quite funny to have a contest on the forum. By numbering the 50 states, each state could be assigned to 200 combinations and if we really wanted to we could knock this out in about 10 minutes. Seriously though, anyone who does figure out the lock please do not post it here.  |  IP: Logged Galen Murphy-Fahlgren Master Film Handler Posts: 405 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Oct 2007 posted 04-30-2008 06:52 PM                     Well, it seems a moot point to me now, since I have not received my prints yet. What is the point if they aren't even going to deliver them until the code is available?  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 04-30-2008 07:42 PM                        Well it is Wednesday after noon and no print here yet!  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 04-30-2008 09:38 PM                     Jake if I had a lock I'd pitch in some help. We're showing a film in Spanish this weekend. Brad, I love that idea. AJG  |  IP: Logged
