Distrib: Warner Brothers (Columbia/TriStar) No idea what that means -- they are BOTH listed as the USA distributor...go figure.

35mm Print# 00116
Reels: 5
Emulsion: Eastman
Base: Poly
Incept Code: n/a
Release # n/a
Run Time: 95min
Reel Bands: None

Picture format: Spherical 1.85:1 (hard matte at 1.66)

Sound format: Tri-digital & Dolby SR analog and
NO FREAKIN DTS DISKS!

Cues: Lab -- Black with green surround

Scratches --
Base: None
Emulsion: None

Splices: Head R1 only. All other Head and Tail joints are virgin -- no splices.

Color Fade/Shift: None
Acidosis (VS): None
Overall Condition: AA (WB rating) Mint

MPAA Rating Band: [R] Blue band at tail R5
Attached Trailers: None
Loose Trailers: 1) TORQUE
2) That MPAA Anti-piracy trailer, which I am happy to say, never mared my screen. I figure the two security guards they sent with metal detector wands to frisk my patrons was more than enough of an anti-piracy message, as well as the security guard who sat in the booth with me the entire time to "watch" the print.

Notes: Plays fine at 1.66.
Also, for c/o booths -- watch for those cues carefully -- lots of dark scenes with tons of flashing lighting and quick cuts -- easy to miss.

The hard matte comes and goes. Noteably during the shower scene. Don't rely on it when framing, or you may see the microphone in some scenes. I noticed black spots during the fourth reel of our print that looked suspiciously like a CAP variant.

EDITED - for clarification. mjm

The head of Reel 2 starts out dark. I had to match the soundtrack and make the splice.
