I just got back from a showing of "Hannibal", and I noticed the Ledjer tag at the end, too. They have a website where you can fill out a report form in case there was a problem. There is no form for filling out compliments, however. I actually think that is a necessary component of such a service. If it's complaint-only, theaters will probably get tired of it real quick. Naturally people can just fill out a compliment on the report form anyway, but unless they actively encourage it, very few people will do so. Here is a quote from their "about" page: quote: LEDJER is a comprehensive, independent quality assurance organization dedicated to insuring the quality of film presentation in theatres world wide.
I believe that should be "ensure", not "insure" (any grammar experts out there please correct me if I'm wrong). Their website is also a bit sloppy and full of broken images. I think what they are trying to do is an excellent idea, but if you're going to be in the "quality assurance" business, you should make sure you have your own quality down pat first! ------------------ Aaron Haney Professional Complainer Apple Computer, Inc.

I bet it is simply a guy who did some contract work for Lucas/THX (and others), and is now trying to expand his business. Obviously, they're new, and only have a simple web site (hosted movieposter.com or something!)Although I don't know much about them, I think it might be a good thing. The more resources studios have, the better. THX has a lot of clout, but they may be quite expensive. A studio exec may look at THX's price and just say no. This company may be a cheaper alterative. Maybe not as good as THX, but better than nothing.

The LEDJER site says: "Jerry A. Blackburn and his partners have over 50 years combined experience in the film industry. Their experience includes post-production, film buying and sales and theatre operations."and "Each of our partners has held one or more of the following positions or received the following honors: Head of Projection and Sound including Training and Screen Presentation for a major US theatre circuit Assistant Film Buyer for a major US theatre circuit (LEDJER's head film buyer) Manager of Reel Replacements for Technicolor Entertainment including assessments of damage Head of Independent Element Approval and Laboratory QA for 15 major studio releases Post-Production and Laboratory QA for large format pictures (All filmed in IMAX) Includes 15/70, 10/70, 8/70 and 5/70 releases Winner 6 Studio Promotion Contests for 6 different films Showman of the Year (4 years in a row) Outstanding Achievement in Public Relations (Theatre Operations) Outstanding Achievement in Promotions and Advertising (Theatre Operations) Outstanding Achievement is Summer Film Series (4 years in a row) Outstanding Achievement in Profit Increase (Rise in Division profit of 59.9% in one fiscal year.)" It looks like the partners in this business are from companies like Technicolor Entertainment Services (TES), DKP 70mm, and some theatre circuits. Anyone know who they are? ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/confused.gif) ------------------ John P.
