PLEASE do NOT post in this forum unless you have personally had your hands on a print. You saw a print? No good. You read something from the studio that had information on it? No good. You stood next to someone building up the print? No good. Let's please strive to keep this forum 100% accurate for the good of everyone. Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-24-2002 09:17 AM                    I handled the film I just couldn't remember if it had sdds or not.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-24-2002 02:45 PM                     Sorry Darryl, I was referring to the initial two posts that had conflicting information. It appears that the first two posts were both partially right and both partially wrong. We need to all work together to ensure those things do not happen in the future for everyone's benefit.  |  IP: Logged Michael Goucher Film Handler Posts: 34 From: New York, NY USA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 04-24-2002 04:04 PM                        The marketing prints I received here at 20th Century Fox were "Showprints" which are different from release prints. We have invitational screenings for press and word of mouth in houses that only have sdds digital. These "showprints" may have been sdds encoded while release prints were not. But this title released in October of last year. Why has it become a hot topic now?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-24-2002 07:13 PM                        I think it came up because in the 3rd post in this thread, Michael Coate noted a discrepancy in the preceding 2 posts. Mike is a writer and sort of a technical historian for Widescreen Review magazine and sometimes he uses this film-tech forum as a technical reference. Mike believes in being as accurate with the facts as he can be and he doesn't want to publish or propagate bogus information. As Brad & Mike have pointed out, the IMDB is not known for its technical accuracy. If technical data posted in this forum comes only from film handlers who have personally inspected the print, the information here should be dead-on accurate.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-24-2002 08:42 PM                     It came up now because it was not noticed back when From Hell was originally released and the conflicting information was posted. Also, there have been a few such inconsistencies here over the last month, so we're trying to put an end to it. Nothing more.  |  IP: Logged
