Sorry, I should have been more specific.

Guess the number of Domestic screens (United States and Canada) playing / showing EP2 on May 16th.

And "Swag" is whatever I can dig up around the office, throw in a box and mail out. And I don't believe there are any newly manufactured WOW! prints sitting around, but I'll look...

And Brad, if gambling is illegal on Film-Tech, my apologies.

John P., DSM, I believe. All the film prints will be gorgeous, printed off of several filmed out original negatives. No generation loss this time. No IPs, no INs, just thousands of original negative prints out there (or as close to original negative as you can get).

Yours, Ted

Gambling? Nah, call it a contest.

So since each print will in essence be a "show print", do we get hand scratched cue marks?

(Hmmmmm, maybe there's an R2 laying around the office. )

Seeing that ol' George is likely gonna try for MAXIMUM DLP exposure for this release, and there will probably be a DLP installation 'boom' between now and then, I am gonna think big here...

One Hundred (100) screens.

I desperately want the rumored, new DVD which will be the latest version of the old "Wow" THX laserdisc. I was never able to obtain the laserdisc in any legitimate, honest, ethical way... and I refuse to pay upwards of $300 to get it on eBay from someone who, likely, didn't get the laserdisc in any legitimate, honest, ethical way either.

The THX "WOW" LaserDisc gets old faaaaast. Also, Brad, maybe you can lock this thread on midnight the very last day in April. People can't edit posts in locked threads, can they? Well YOU can, so I urge you to cheat.

Here's what I bet will be in the THX swag collection:
-THX Cap (duh)
-THX shirts (cool)
-THX poster(s)
-THX Jacket (I WISH!!! Bobby Pinkston gave one to Ian, I think. Ian is a bastard.)
-THX bumper stickers
-THX pens
-THX buttons
-THX stationary
-THX "Do not enter testing in progress" papers
-THX tampons
-THX toilet paper

Put me down for 112 screens.
