Looks to me like a reel distributed by FPC. "FPC is a Kodak company." hehehehe  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-13-2003 03:50 PM                     Boy Steve, You just take all the fun out of things. Honestly I didn't even notice the reel.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-14-2003 02:49 AM                     Reminds me of the old Smart ads that tried to sell sound processors with sex. That's one of those evil reels where the drive hole doesn't line up on a Christie MUT too. Fox used them for awhile before they wised up.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-14-2003 03:44 AM                        She's obviously got sisters Check them out on the vendors other items Someone even bid for this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1478&item=3305540042  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-14-2003 09:20 AM                     That second picture in the auction for the film can almost looks like she's saying, "Here's your movie!" Now if ETS or TES hired people like THAT to bring the films, it would make up for all the other problems. Wow. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-14-2003 06:59 PM                    Surely it's the same girl modeling on the other items. The thing about the old SMART catalogs was that there was something similarly amateurish about the models. Probably employees. Not that that's bad. Real is better than phony any day.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-14-2003 10:12 PM                     Real is better than phony any day. I'm sure Playboy would disagree!  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2003 10:54 PM                     Okay change it to REEL any day As for smart and there models check out the calanders from company's like Rigid Tool  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2003 11:22 PM                     Brad mentiones......

Compared to the rest of the crap that I regularly receive, like exploding Fox reels and old rusted metal reels, the Kodak ones are like a Goldberg house reel.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-15-2003 03:15 AM                       quote: there was something similarly amateurish about the models.

Oscar probably has the scoop on it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-15-2003 01:53 PM                     Daryl, sounds like you haven't used a Hollywood Film Company reel yet.  |  IP: Logged
