The only thing they've done on DVD was their summer movie camp.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

Very sad.

Most of my dealings have been with WB, Sony and Universal. Paramount always seemed to have a handful of titles. Sony and Universal were pretty good to deal with (they allowed collector pritns). Disney only rented live action. But who knows with DCP. We even got a DCP copy of the original trailer for Airplane with the only change to it being a slug at the end promoting time and date.  |  IP: Logged Mark Hajducki Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Edinburgh, UK Registered: May 2003 posted 01-15-2011 01:54 PM                     If they were using film they would have to stagger the showing to allow prints to crossover between sites (the cost of making that many prints would not be viable).  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

More than seeing it on a big screen, I want to see it with a ton of people. AJG  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-16-2011 02:31 PM                     I'm sure there'd be a ton of people. Whether you'd know any of them though would be the question. I first saw it with 850 others. I had to watch it again just to hear the bits I'd missed because people were laughing so much we missed the next gag. Just make sure you don't park in the red zone.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-16-2011 04:17 PM                     You know red zone is for unloading and loading of passengers. There's no stopping in the white zone.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
