Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-07-2008 08:00 AM                    Sounds like all reel 3s are defective to me. Everyone should call for a replacement.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 11-08-2008 08:22 PM                     There was a note enclosed stating that reel 3 had digital-to-analog sound reversions for security reasons. I guess the watermarkings on the actual image didn't help piracy so they have to ruin the sound instead.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-01-2008 03:31 PM                     Letter from Paramount regarding the Australian release... quote: The "Exemption" Censor Tag appears at the end of the "Monsters Vs Aliens" Trailer, which has been hard-locked to the New Prints of "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa". Projectionists will need to remove the "Exemption" Censor tag from the end of the trailer and splice it in at the start of the trailer, as per usual. Nice one boys.  |  IP: Logged
