Just saw a TV ad tonight announcing out-takes will be shown on Monsters, Inc. beginning 12/7/2001.

Boy, now thats a real marketing ploy! Even I'd have to go see it again I suppose.

I dunno, I'd think I would wait for the DVD with everything to come out. it was a great movie but i don't want to see it again just for outtakes. I was pretty amused with the Harry Potter charades trailer, always cracks me up when I pass by it playing in the lobby.

Reminds me of A Bugs Life when we received a new last reel after a few weeks run, with new out-takes. The plan was for a new press ad campaign stating 'brand new out-takes' or something. I don't see that as any incentive for going to see a film again just for the new out-takes but it was a change for the staff to see something different on the credits. What a waste of money though, and time.

I guess it's targeted for those two or three people who have nothing better to do than to fork out five to eight bucks to go see the same movie but with different credits. Why couldn't they just wait until the DVD comes out and push it on there as a special feature? Oh well.....

Confirmed per newspaper ads this morning.Don't look for this "re-release" to stick around long unless you're running a megaplex. All the Xmas product coming up means something's got to give -- and the Monsters are that something.

We got it (new R5 of Monsters w/ new DTS "B" disc.) Came on a core and most theaters don't have a split reel, so there will be some fun there.

ALL theatres have split reels! Some just don't know it! Simply take a reel out of the TES film can of your choice, gently pull on the halves, and voila! Split reel! 
hehehe

Aaron is right. That's what I had to do. I frickin hate that! Why can't they frickin send the replacement reel on a frickin reel??

I don't understand why this bothers so many people. I think the US is just about the only place where film DOES come on reels. Besides, most of the TES reels don't stay together anyway, so everyone should be used to handling film on cores by now.

Just got Monsters inc on DLP and there are out takes and very funny but the early 35mm copy (got it 8 weeks early) didnt have any!

Working in an art house that runs lots of foreign film festivals, we are used to films on cores, films NOT on cores (even a split reel is of little help when there is nothing but the end of the film in the center of the roll) and film -- in 1000ft rolls -- no cores, wrapped like sandwiches in Italian newspaper. All this is usually shipped in banged and battered cardboard boxes, not in film shipping cans. Some boxes are hardly boxes at all, just pieces of cardboard around which yard and yards of shipping tape is wrapped. Rolls of film on cores nicely packed in a FedEx a shipping box -- heck, we consider that high-tech!

For the DLP someone comes out spends 5/6 hrs putting the film on the hard drive and all we have to do is press 'play'
Its a hard life

Do you have a remote control, too?
Posted by Ben Stephenson (Member # 741) on 01-25-2002, 04:38 PM:
No but not for lack of trying, you can pause, ffwed, rewind and there is a recored button (never tryed that 1 yet)

Re-cored? See, even DLP will use cores in the future......

What are you using as the DLP playback source? Is it a Qubit, a D-5 tape machine, or something else?The only DLP setup that I'm reasonably familiar with is connected to the same automation as the film projector. The operator just sets the timer (same as for film) and everything runs automatically (including lights, etc.), just like film but without needing to be re-threaded. I thought that the idea of using the film automation was quite clever...
Posted by Ben Stephenson (Member # 741) on 01-25-2002, 07:16 PM:
The sound track is installed with the film and runs from the hard drive, it is a 6 chanle sorce and I could not tell the diffrence (compered to SRD)
Our DLP is linked in to the automation so when the trilers and adverts have run through on 35mm the projector shuts down and the DLP clicks in gust like a change over and then you can tell the diffrence in quality.
