Author Topic: Muppets Policy Trailer Daniel Alt Expert Film Handler Posts: 111 From: Lakewood, OH, USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 04-08-2004 09:42 PM                     A friend of mine today was reminiscing today about a policy trailer he used to see involving the Muppets(tm). Apparently they were trashing a theater as an example of what not to do while watching a movie. When I mentioned this to my SO, she swears she's seen it too, so it must be true. I've never seen this one, but it sounds like fun. Does anyone know, was it produced for a specific chain, or is it potentially available for purchase?  |  IP: Logged Bill Mantz Film Handler Posts: 91 From: Plano, TX Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-08-2004 10:01 PM                     Loews had a policy trailer with the Muppets in it. So that is the trailer your probably talking about. I don't think you be able to purchase one, but if you go to a Lowes theater and ask they may have an old one laying around that they may let you have.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-08-2004 11:56 PM                     That policy trailer is so bad it's damned entertaining.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 04-09-2004 02:51 AM                     It is not something that I would want to force my customers to have to watch over and over.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

I believe that it's one of the titles of which Derek Maxwell is selling prints. - Scott  |  IP: Logged Daniel Alt Expert Film Handler Posts: 111 From: Lakewood, OH, USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 04-09-2004 08:26 AM                     Bear in mind that our customers are college students, for the most part. Entertaining bad things are a big part of their daily existance. Heck, we had complaints when one of our cheezy 70s datestrips got munched, because people liked to shout along with it. So who is this mystic guru, "Derek Maxwell" of which you speak? Pray, how can he be summoned to our cause?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-09-2004 08:30 AM                        Derek Maxwell's website: http://www.drive-infilm.com/  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

I've got a quicktime of it on one of theese hundreds of unlabled burnt cd's lying around. Loews used to have them available for download on their website.  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-10-2004 07:52 PM                        Speaking of what... About 15 years ago, all danish cinemas had a trailer, showing two painters putting up their ladders in front of a screen, painting the screen black, until it reached television size, ending up asking the audience "is this what You want". Noone today seems to remember, where it came from. -Any of You know anything about this...? Per  |  IP: Logged
