Author Topic: Customer question - need some help Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-29-2002 11:02 AM                        Can anyone help me with this question: "You are the brute squad!" Who said it, to whom in what movie? (Actors' names) A customer emailed this to me last night. I have no clue.

Here's the part of the script where it appears: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Cinema/5505/pb-scene11.htm Brad, does this set a record for amount of time elapsed between question and answer (1 minute)? ------------------ Evans A Criswell Huntsville-Decatur Movie Theatre Information Site  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-29-2002 11:34 AM                        Thanks, Evans! (I would have probably set a record for acknowledging your rapid answer but I was on the #%$# phone.)  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-29-2002 12:30 PM                     You're just not fast enough Evans. There is no reason you could not have gotten that response up before the server's clock turned to the next minute. You'll have to try harder next time. As for the record, I do know that there have been others that posted on the next minute, but I'm not sure if anyone has ever hit the same minute. I have faith you will in time though.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-29-2002 03:37 PM                        Actually, it was just luck. I just happened to tune in just at the moment the post was made, saw the question, did a WWW search on the phrase, found the script, and posted the link. I doubt I could do that again in 1000 years. After I saw that there was one minute difference in the two posts, it surprised me, and I went back and edited it, adding the comment about the quick response, since long ago, on a thread, someone answered a question five minutes after it was posted and you made a post bragging on how film-tech provided such a rapid response. This was probably before I registered since I was in a different office then in a different building, using an SGI Indy as my desktop computer. ------------------ Evans A Criswell Huntsville-Decatur Movie Theatre Information Site  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-29-2002 04:24 PM                     I wouldn't call it bragging, but I do remember the post. It was quite funny that an answer came so quick. And actually assuming the first post was made right as the server clock turned, you had a few seconds shy of 2 whole minutes to get your post up.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-29-2002 07:00 PM                        It sure is nice to know that a person can ask almost any question about a movie and SOMEBODY here will know about it. It's great being able to say, "I don't know, but I can probably have an answer for you within a few minutes." Film-tech'ers rule!  |  IP: Logged
