Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-10-2010 07:29 PM                     I can still hum the Pacific People Pleasing People policy...  |  IP: Logged Manny Montes Master Film Handler Posts: 270 From: United States Registered: Feb 2010 posted 11-10-2010 08:10 PM                     I like it because its something different, its something I remember from when I was a little kid and it is cool to see it brought back, and It did have a following which is why i'm sure a lot of people are happy to see it back. But just by people liking it on facebook or talking about it does not mean that they find it to be the "best part of the movie experience"  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-10-2010 08:48 PM                        They didn't mention anything about the movie itself. quote: Manny Montes It did have a following WTF??? Policy trailer groupies?  |  IP: Logged Manny Montes Master Film Handler Posts: 270 From: United States Registered: Feb 2010 posted 11-10-2010 09:24 PM                     People are crazy these days... Plus considering some movies that come out, the policy might be the best part of the entire experience  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 11-12-2010 01:02 PM                        I've heard that Regal will be moving the roller coaster policy from the pre-show to the feature. So now we'll have something other than 4K CineAlta snipes to test with...  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-12-2010 10:01 PM                        I would agree with that move. Put it between the last trailer and the movie like it should be. Lights go down as the policy starts.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-12-2010 10:05 PM                     quote: Mark J. Marshall I used to like the AMC H.I.T.S. snipe back in the day. I have one of these. Of course I etched the letter "S" in front of it on every frame, but that only made the advertising truthful. Cinemark should bring back the ORIGINAL Front Roe Joe policy trailers. The first few were quite catchy (and long). Once they left Willmington Reemes (not sure if I am spelling that correctly), and started adding the Back Row Ho their trailers really started to suck.  |  IP: Logged Michael Riley Film Handler Posts: 52 From: New Jersey Registered: Apr 2010 posted 11-13-2010 12:33 AM                  The policy directive from Regal is that the roller coaster policy ad is to be programmed first before any of the trailers.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-13-2010 06:19 AM                        I always liked the special "muppets" policy trailer that Loews played on it's kiddie films. I think it was a cool idea.  |  IP: Logged Doug Willming Film Handler Posts: 45 From: San Antonio, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 11-13-2010 09:51 AM                        Thanks Brad - it was actually Willming Reams, but close enough. I still operate as PreShow Productions, but have curbed policy trailer production quite a bit as the business model has changed drastically. I still have all the original Cinemark Front Row Joe trailers' 35mm. negs and mag tracks so they would convert beautifully to digital, but I don't think the CEO/CFO that run Cinemark now give a flip about spending a nickel on something that doesn't add to the bottom line. I have the trailers posted on my YouTube site and get quite a few comments about wishing Cinemark would bring them back - like the Regal rollercoaster, many folks have nostalgic feelings about them, remember the songs, and would get a kick out of seeing them again on the big screen, at least for a time. The last one we did was 1997; I've been sad to see the fate of FRJ in the hands of other animation production companies since then.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-13-2010 10:40 AM                        Bring back Snack Canyon! This is one of my all-time favorites with respect to general cheesiness. I actually ordered one of these in 1998 from Cinema Concepts. Unfortunately, that copy was on acetate and broke at startup due to a slipping drive belt (I ran it before a one-off screening "March of the Penguins"). I tried to order another copy in 2005 or thereabouts, but Cinema Concepts told me that they no longer had the negative to it. Oh, well...I do have the older print, still in nice shape, minus a couple of frames. The Avon shows Lets Go to the Lobby (available from Filmack) regularly. The customers seem to like it, but I seriously doubt that it has any effect on concession sales.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!
