Author Topic: Last Wish Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-10-2014 08:56 PM                     Uh... This might sound crass but has anybody called the newspaper?  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-10-2014 09:02 PM                        Frank, that's a wonderful story. And on the cusp of Mother's Day too! You did good; you make us all proud. Great that you had the opportunity to do this for the woman and her children...not everyone would have. Great show, my friend!  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-10-2014 10:59 PM                        Newspaper? No thanks. Nobody around here knows anything about this other than me, my wife and the family involved. I haven't told anyone else in town and don't plan to. This is a small town and that sort of attention is the last thing that family needs. I figure all of you folks are far enough away that it doesn't matter. I also sent an email to the Sony district manager with much the same content as my last post to thank her for the cooperation in getting the movie here in time.  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 05-11-2014 02:20 AM                     Kudos. And Martin- AMEN.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-11-2014 06:53 AM                     quote: Frank Cox This is a small town and that sort of attention is the last thing that family needs. Unless, of course, the family wants you and the studio to receive recognition for this...  |  IP: Logged Matthew McBride Film Handler Posts: 97 From: Tupelo, MS USA Registered: Oct 2011 posted 05-11-2014 08:35 AM                     A very nice and selfless thing you did Frank.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-11-2014 10:04 AM                     Didn't mean to imply that Frank should have called the newspaper.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 05-11-2014 10:42 AM                     It will come around without the newspaper, one way or the other. Including the fact that there was no newspaper involved. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Robert E.

Nice job all the way around.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 05-11-2014 07:04 PM                     quote: Frank Cox I figure all of you folks are far enough away that it doesn't matter. Those days, even the other side of the world is just about 150 milliseconds away . But I total agree with the rest here, good job. And indeed, kudos for Sony, who thought that such an unholy big corporation would show some compassion. Especially since their content is one of their most guarded assets.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-11-2014 09:30 PM                        Also agreed, a big thumbs-up to how you handled the whole thing, Frank.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

You've done a great thing.  |  IP: Logged Wayne Keyser Master Film Handler Posts: 272 From: Arlington, Virginia, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 05-12-2014 09:14 PM                     Do you figure the public will think "Is the movie THAT bad?" or maybe "Something they put in the popcorn that day, maybe."  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-13-2014 04:45 AM                     He's likely looking at it the same way as how people will often not buy a house knowing that the reason it's up for sale is that the owner died there recently, due to superstition. Well, plus the fact that some idiots might think "OMG, that theater killed an old guy; don't buy his food." But it's unlikely that people will think that, imo or at least will be unlikely to change their behavior because of it.  |  IP: Logged
