Author Topic: What happened to MovieTunes?? Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-20-2010 09:02 PM                        It just dawned on me, we haven't received a new MovieTunes disk in months. Was the program discontinued, or did we get dropped off the mailing list?  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-21-2010 02:58 AM                        if so, good riddance!  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 03-22-2010 12:15 AM                     MovieTunes went out of business a year ago. Screenvision has a new program now, something like Screenvision Soundtrax.  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-22-2010 04:41 AM                     Are any MovieTunes available on the interweb? I haven't had the pleasure (??) of hearing these and am interested to see what they are like.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Crouch Expert Film Handler Posts: 128 From: Holywood, ca, usa Registered: May 2006 posted 03-22-2010 10:28 AM                  quote: Ian Parfrey I haven't had the pleasure (??) of hearing these and am interested to see what they are like. They were nothing particularly noteable. Just a collection of songs with a "host" introducing songs/artists, thanking patrons, and throwing in some generic promotions ("visit our concession stand", etc.). If your chain was large enough, there would be more personalized information announced. The "host" was your stereotypical disc jockey voice (all be it the mellow variety). The music varied month to month; usually top 40 pop with a couple of "golden oldies" thrown in, but they occassionally featured themes (Christmas, Country, movie soundtracks, that year's Grammy nominated songs, etc.).  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 03-22-2010 11:25 AM                        The "voice" was a likable enough guy from Murray/Paducah KY.

"Chris Eric Stevens Must Be Stopped" forum page It seems Mr Stevens conjures up some forceful opinions.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-22-2010 03:57 PM                     Its not that movie tunes was particularily bad (or good), its just the program was only 40 minutes long or so, so as a theatre floor employee you heard it about 9 times per shift for an entire month. It got a little old pretty fast.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 03-22-2010 11:50 PM                     What's a movie without candy, hot popcorn, and an ice-cold soft drink? Wouldn't that taste great right now? Visit our concession stand for the best in movie refreshments.
