Hope ya get a better print of PULP FICTION than we got. We ran it for a midnight show. I believe reel 3 was fixed by some amateur who spliced into it midway and had it backwards for about 10 minutes of its run. Our print was in very bad condition and scratched. We didn't get the print until the night of the run, so we couldn't check it. Who would ever thing some moron would splice part of it backward in between reels. Duh????  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-27-2001 12:46 AM                        well, dont count on it. We ran it last weekend for about 300 people. In reel 1 there was a several second chunk which was spliced in backwards It is quite dirty near reel changes, and the focus will drift out near the start of the reel, probably due to improper winding. in the middle of the reel, it is quite watchable, not bad for a Dolby A print. Our print is on acetate stock, which was quickly discovered durring makeup. It is in much better condition than the print of Taxi Driver we ran though. That thing almost fell apart. What's that, your hungry for some more?

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-30-2001 12:21 PM                        Which print of Taxi Driver did you get? There were new prints of that title made just a few years ago. I believe that the new prints had a Dolby SR track.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 04-30-2001 08:29 PM                        Yes, there are pics of the booth, no they are not on the internet yet. As for taxi D, I think ours was an origional print, it had type A NR and it was acetate.
