Author Topic: Film-tech tops and jumpers. Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-05-2003 08:52 AM                     Maybe the showest thing is a way of selecting only a certain few, by meeting the would be shirt wearer face to face to see if he/she measures up to certain standards.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

You have to pick it up somewhere!  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-05-2003 09:12 AM                     Oh ok, thats the deal. Cool. No shirt is worth the money that it would take to go GET it. Guess people like Gracia and myself just wont be getting one. Anyway, have a nice day and enjoy Showest.  |  IP: Logged Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 02-05-2003 09:20 PM                        Do I get one when I come visit??? Since I exited the management gig at Cinema West my supply of ridiculously large movie related t-shirts has dwindled down to the Lake Placid shirt I kept for the gym, my "One Night Stand" shirt which is fun to wear out to the bars and my "Columbia Pictures" t-shirt which is fun to wear in Los Angeles because then stupid people suck up to you thinking you might know somebody in casting. Of course I also have my Rialto Cinemas Lakeside T-Shirt that I got on my recent visit. I like wearing that around in hopes that people might ask me if I know Ian.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-05-2003 10:05 PM                        The best time I ever had with a T-shirt was when I went to an Alan Parsons concert in Seattle, in 1999. The concert was sponsored by DTS, so I wore a shirt with a huge DTS logo on the back. Everywhere I went, I could hear people whispering behind my back "he must be with the band" etc. and several folks asked me if I could get them backstage passes.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-05-2003 10:14 PM                     In these parts, a "jumper" is a one piece, coverall type of clothing usually worn by small children and babies. I would summarize it as either: A baby's pajamas that only comes up to the chest and straps over the shoulders like a set of overalls. It doesn't cover the arms or shoulders. A shirt or sweater must be worn with it. OR Like a pair of overalls with feet. Thus, when I read the word "jumper" I was imagining that he was refering to a pair of overalls like a mechanic or a farmer would wear.  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-06-2003 09:10 AM                     Thank you for all the interest regards my enquiry concerning items of apparel. An interesting point which emerged is the different meaning of words in various regions and countries. What do people think of opening a topic and thread dealing with these differences. We show films from our respective countries and hear these differences, to be able to put up words and get their various local meanings would be good. To start off, in the US, what is "ketchup"?

When we meet for the first time ....in a couple of days. You will notice a zipper aound my neck. Now, if you should chose to un zip that zipper you will find that I am in reality, "Cordell Walker Texas Ranger". Now, having said that, and know that the Texas Rangers are monitoring this forum, If I were you I would be extreemly nervous when I went home to Texas. Everytime you get in your car, You will think to yourself. "When your in Texas, Look behind you. For that's where the Ranger is going to be." P.S. Some people have told me that they believe that PHIL HILL is in realality:The Ghost of "C.D. Parker, retired Texas Ranger. So There.  |  IP: Logged
