Registered: Nov 1999 posted 12-31-2005 11:19 PM                     I think I am the first one to post and wish Brad on a Happy New Year and 7th. Anniversary to Film-Tech.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-01-2006 12:50 PM                     Happy New Year to one and all  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-01-2006 06:46 PM                     Happy New Year to everyone on here and those who are "listeners". Thanks to Brad, this is a wonderful place for the sharing of knowledge, friendship and the promotion of high quality cinema presentations. I was fortunate to meet Brad this Spring when he came to town and photographed a few of our theatres. Sorry we couldn't spend much time but we did have the good fortune to examine the Temple and Court theatres together. Here's to a very pleasant and profitable New Year KEN  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-01-2006 08:49 PM                     Brad, Congratulations on the 7 year mark! Its been a fun and educational time here and hopefully it'll go for a long long time down into the future. What will you call this site when all goes digital since the name Film-Tech won't apply any more? See ya in Utah soon Mark  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-01-2006 11:22 PM                     Digi-Crap is the preferred replacement name.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-01-2006 11:24 PM                        In the digi-crap age, they'll still call movies "films" the same way CDs are properly referred to as "albums" by those in the know.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A. Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-01-2006 11:38 PM                     Yes a happy new year to all. Though I started my new year closing the theater and checking into a hotel as my car stranded me out of town last night Hooray for 2k6 and Film-Tech. Film-Tech the one place where everybody knows your name and you'll never face ridicule for putting on a good show. On the subject of films I think the best compliment I'll ever get came a while back...I was carrying a movie up to the booth from our partners across town and a guy walking down the hallway says to me "Wow, they still use film?" to which I replied "absolutely, sir!" he said "amazing, I thought it had all gone to DVDs!" ...That means our presentation is so good he thought he was watching a DIGITAL show, you know, since digital is supperior and all... Hooray! Let's get more of those in '06!  |  IP: Logged Mathew Molloy Master Film Handler Posts: 357 From: The Santa Cruz Mountains Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-02-2006 04:32 AM                     Not so fast there, Dominic! Several months back we ran the crappiest of crap prints (thanks Criterion) of The Grapes Of Wrath. Missing footage, lines, splices galore and of course arc burn. My jaw was dropped by a man who I spoke with after the show. I mentioned how it was embarassing to be running such a terrible print and he said something like, "You still show film? I thought theatres just ran dvd's now." Maybe he thought there was dust and cracks on the dvd...who knows. Oh, and Happy New Year and a very Happy Anniversary, Film-Tech.com!  |  IP: Logged Dieter Depypere Master Film Handler Posts: 343 From: Deutsch-Wagram, Lower Austria, Austria Registered: May 2005 posted 01-02-2006 04:48 AM                     Also from my side a happy new year.

I know it's late, but better late than never. Congrats Brad on the site being up for 7 years now. That's just a little shy of my time in the theatres. I started in theatres in September of 98.  |  IP: Logged Gilbert Travin Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Villeurbanne / France Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-03-2006 02:39 AM                        Happy new year to all .... and happy birthday to the Cinematographe (110 years : december 28, 1895 = first public performance in Paris by the Lumiere brothers and their father !!!)  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 01-03-2006 11:31 AM                        I get a chuckle out of schools that offer "film making" classes in which all of the hands-on work is done in Digi-Crap®. Yes, Happy New Year to you all and congratulations to Brad for seven years of Film-Tech!

The Lumière programme shown on 28 December 1895 was screened by Birt Acres on 10 January 1896, plus a few of Acres' own films (we know for sure that this show included a film of the 1895 Derby), in London. Congrats to Brad on 7 years of F-T.  |  IP: Logged
