Did anyone get the famous first and second wet reels for Dark Water yesterday? We got three calls from technicolor all asking if we recieved them wet or if they were in good condition. To care that much there must have been a pretty big problem...

One technicolor employee also commented that it should be screened because even a few people that did not recieve the reels wet where complaining of water stains.

The only wet first and second reels I heard about were with Dark Water...we received a fax about that one. Our reels were fine though.

There's skip-bleach/bypass-bleach, and 1000 mph printers, but I don't think they're going to get too far with BYPASS DRYING! [Eek!]

Technicolor? Are you talking about Dark Water? We got a call from Technicolor on Dark Water reels being wet, but our print was fine. Our Fantastic Four was handled by "The Grey Can People".
