Author Topic: Movie tunes Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-29-2002 11:12 PM                     I would like to know if movietunes is piped into theatres via network or satelite or is it like on a CD? If it is on a CD is is possible to get a copy? I think I know the answer but I thought I would ask just the same. Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Kyle Watkins Expert Film Handler Posts: 185 From: Stuart, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 05-29-2002 11:36 PM                     it s on a cd got a couple of numbers 1-800-screen-1 and 818-508-5588 (which is printed on the disk) www.ncninc.com there is a review of movie tunes in the review section. i delt with moviw tunes for 8 years now and all i can say it sucks. also i belive this was cover in the forums also at some point.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Basically Kyle said everything that needs to be said about Movie Tunes: it sucks. It comes as either a CD or CD-R depending on the theatre or chain. Some of the CD-Rs won't play in a standard CD player because whoever burned them forgot to "finalize" (i.e. write the table of contents to) the disks. Oops. The disks themselves say "promotional use only/not for sale", but you could probably find a friendly theatre employee who would be happy to dispose of last month's disks. NCN doesn't require that they be returned. (I won't even ask _why_ someone would want a Movie Tunes CD....)  |  IP: Logged Kyle Watkins Expert Film Handler Posts: 185 From: Stuart, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 05-30-2002 01:23 AM                     the only time ( about 5 years ago) i could handle listen to it was when we bought a 25 disk changer and put in on shuffle. i dont think we was allowed to do that because the disk had play dates on them. oh well we said. it get pretty old to here the same old songs over and over.  |  IP: Logged Tal Schwartz Film Handler Posts: 5 From: Clayton, MO, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 05-31-2002 01:17 AM                     we actually had an irate customer come storming out of a theater today demanding to see a manager. considering the manager was standing next to me, i overheard their conversation. she started off by asking what music it was that we were playing, and then before my manager succeded in responding she immediately pointed out that it sucks (which anyone who's listened to NCN can attest to) and demanded (DEMANDED) that we change it. although she was a little bare on ideas of what we should change it to. we finally got the point across to her that we had no hand in it, and she stormed off back up the stairs to her theater.... now if the music was that horrible, why didn't she just go and do something else for the 15 minutes left till the movie was scheduled to start? sometimes i really do think customers are a curse more than a blessing  |  IP: Logged James R.

On the current Movie Tunes disc, there is a song that I believe is titled "Popular." Does anyone know where it is from? It sounds like it might be from a musical.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-28-2005 07:48 PM                     I believe it is from the Broadway show WICKED. Seems like that is always on when I go into a Movietunes theatre! Someone is really promoting that show as I've also seen it as part of the AMC pre-show. Edit: Matthew, let's call it a tie!

Yes, the songs "Popular" and "Defying Gravity", from Wicked, and "Here I Am", from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, have been playing on the MovieTunes flights for the past 3 months, and are still playing. As for MovieTunes, they seem to have moved to a more professional pressed and screen-printed disc instead of CD-Rs. At least, that is what the generic non-branded disc that we get looks like.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-23-2006 01:57 PM                        Movie Tunes has hit a new level of suckiness. This month's disk features Rodney Dangerfield "singing" the classic tune "Strangers in the Night" accompanied by a kool new hip-hop beat and processed vocals. This is followed shortly by the Captain and Tennille "Love will Keep Us Together" and Tony Orlando & Dawn singing "Cupid." ...uh-oh, can't type any more must go and  |  IP: Logged Mark J.
