It's 8 reels.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-17-2009 03:14 AM                     Thanks Michael. I tried to edit thst original post but time has expired. (?) Maybe Adam will come to the rescue and sort it to the correct reel count. Unfortunately, the wonderful (!) people at Hoyts Distribution decided we should only get reels 1,3 5 and 7 Monday and 'sometime Wednesday' they'll deliver 2,4,6 (and apparently) 8. Keep in mind we open it at midnight Wednesday so two prints to build on an ad make-up day...and for what reason? None. It's already on the net for download! Why on earth they can't be reasonable and realise 1,2,3 and 4 is just as useless to a potential pirate as 1,3,5 and 7. To me it makes a big difference...I can then build the 1st half of the prints. As it is, they should have just kept the whole thing...in fact, next time they can. Let's hope there's nothing wrong with the prints. It's crap like this that makes me realize I've just about had enough of this shit.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 11-17-2009 08:27 AM                        Reel 6 is very short, about 9 min. The credits occupy about 2/3 of reel 8.  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 11-20-2009 04:37 AM                     Attached (and misframed on both ends) in US: Letters to Juliet.  |  IP: Logged Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 11-20-2009 06:38 PM                     Is anyone else having trouble with the dolby digital track? I'm having random drops over the entire print (several times during end credits). It looks like it was printed too fast as I have white specs on some frames. (As an added bonus, the DTS disc B was destroyed when shipping it in the film can) In Ontario it had "Remember Me" & "Letter to Juliet" attached. (not sure if it was out of frame as I measured and trimmed a little).  |  IP: Logged Karl Borowski Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sulking in GameFAQ Forum Registered: Sep 2009 posted 11-20-2009 08:52 PM                     White spec.'s aren't caused by the speed at which it was printed, at least not directly. That's IN/DN dust (Inter-/Duplicate negative) on the printing element used to strike the release prints. If they have to strike a God-awful 2000 prints at one facility, it is more understandable being rushed to clean the film and inspect for scratches. I saw not only quite a bit of IN dust, but also some partial IN scratches on at least one of our prints last night. Will have to check the number, not that that is any indication that all prints from that IN are affected. I've always wondered the actual method used to determine how many INs are made, and if they are used until they literally wear themselves out, or if each lab only gets one each unless they ruin theirs. I also wonder why prints are sent where colors don't match from reel to reel. I assume they just do runs on one reel continuously for all of their prints, then switch to the next reel, but if they are all made from the same IN, you'd think that it wouldn't be so hard to get colors to match, as opposed to having to match different internegatives.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 11-21-2009 10:55 AM                     Yeah, we've had Dolby issues as well. One of our B discs was completely missing.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-10-2011 12:39 PM                 It has been 719 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 11-10-2011 12:39 PM                     Anyone know the digital version credit offset?  |  IP: Logged Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 11-13-2011 12:00 PM                     02:04:08 from sheet  |  IP: Logged
