Author Topic: "Let's all go to the lobby . . ." Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 10-26-2001 04:32 PM                     Any fellow Film-Techers seen the new MovieFone snipe? It starts out with that old Filmack favorite and uses the characters from it. Gives a "good ol' days" kind of feel to it. At least 1 participating MovieFone theater, Reading Cinemas in Manville NJ, began running this nifty snipe this month. UA hasn't used it yet in Union Square AFAIK.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-26-2001 04:36 PM                     Yes, I've seen it and it is incredibly stupid. They are trying to mix 1950's drive-in snipes with current Hong Kong/"The Matrix" action. It's just stupid and only warrants a groan.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Gilardi Madam Moderator Posts: 2214 From: Peabody, MA, USA Registered: Dec 2007 posted 10-27-2001 02:35 AM                     Are you talking about the one where the concession items are not on time for the movie because they didn't check moviefone???  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 10-28-2001 12:02 AM                     (Not related, but) We were running the earlier MovieFone ad that was an animated, "Cinderella" style ad. At the end of the ad, the Cinderella charactor says something like, "I got away from my ulgy, skanky sisters ..." while one rabbit in the background grabbed the butt of another. I thought it was funny, but we had several complaints, so we had to pull it.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-28-2001 09:16 AM                     Lets not all go to the lobby...Thats one of the reasons I weigh in at nearly 190 lbs!!!
