Author Topic: "Wonderful Days" are coming! Don E. Nelson Expert Film Handler Posts: 138 From: Brentwood, CA, USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 02-21-2003 02:27 PM                     Does anyone know about this Korean animated film, Wonderful Days? The previews look terrific, an epic story telling adventure with a good soundtrack and original FX using 3D models. It is supposed to debut in Korea in April of 2003. What about the American screening date?  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Sounds like we westerners will get to "discover" a new film score composer in Il Won.  |  IP: Logged Glenda Cockrum Film Handler Posts: 58 From: Monaca, PA, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-22-2003 11:55 PM                     Thank you so much for the link. I am blown away by what I have seen on the Wonderful Days site! I also went to the Korean side, much more to see, even if I don't have a clue what the man is saying, just bits and pieces of "common" words come through, but the detail and effort on this film is unbelievable! I wonder who will pick it up state side? After not being able to show "Spirited Away", I have about given up on having a chance at excellent anime films I remember the first time I saw "Kiki's Delivery Service", I was hooked! I really hope that this film gets US exposure, and with a company that will give us "little guys" a chance to show it!  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

The 3rd annual Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema (WFAC), will be the site of the North American premiere. The festival runs April 23-26, 2003 at the Princess Cinema and the Galaxy Cinema, Conestoga Mall in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The schedule is available at the festival web site http://www.wfac.ca Hopefully a US premiere and release isn't too far off.  |  IP: Logged William Leland III Master Film Handler Posts: 336 From: Charleston, SC, Registered: Aug 2002 posted 04-18-2003 09:36 AM                        WOW, after seeing that trailer I want to see that movie. Makes me think of all the great movies Americans miss. Well, I hope we get this one. Very cool anime and the music was spectacular.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

The Hollywood Reporter's post mortem.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-26-2003 03:28 PM                       quote: "You can't keep basing your success on being cheaper," he says. "You have to make people think you're doing a better job or else you're just digging a hole for yourself." This is just what corporations are doing today, they refuse to learn from history and think they are on to something no one else has thought of. They are in "cut expenses" mode to a fault, and do not realize there is a point where you can no longer save money and retain quality in product or employees. The theatre companies are particularly bad with this. At the current rate of corporate tyranny and monopolization, I believe workers will become so abused by greed and micro-management, that we'll see the formation of a new union movement in our lifetime. Workers will rise up.  |  IP: Logged
