Author Topic: Memorable flick(s) released on Nov. 13th... Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-13-2011 09:44 PM                     Released on this day in 1991...  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-13-2011 09:54 PM                     Great poster. It looks like it was folded into 4 sections as we received them from NSS (National Screen Service) in those years.

I'm not normally a chick-flick person but I did like this movie. It really cemented Disney back into the animation business. I'm looking forward to the reissue -- I don't really see where the 3-D will add anything (although the ballroom scene might be cool) but it will be fun to see it on the big screen.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-14-2011 10:03 AM                     I was very fortunate to have seen this in a 70mm presentation. The middle of Belle's opening song is one of the most beautiful passages of song and lyric I've ever heard: quote: Oh, isn't this amazing? It's my fav'rite part because you'll see Here's where she meets Prince Charming But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three It is so sad that Howard Ashman died so young...I think he had a lot more great lyrics in him. His Sondheim-esque rhyming of "large" and "barge" in Gaston's song along with "bicuspid" and "maladjusted" in the Dentist song of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS was just genius.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-14-2011 12:40 PM                     It might do well in the 3D version...but I'm waiting for "Monsters, INC" for 3D.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-14-2011 03:16 PM                     I enjoyed this film. I ran it as a double feature at the Pacific's Crest Theatre in Westwood in 1993 with "Aladdin". They booked "Beauty and the Beast" in 70MM and "Aladdin" 35mm SRD.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-14-2011 04:03 PM                     I had to install two Megasystems 8/70s at two Muvico locations. I did the Orlando Pointe one first. I trained them and taught the main projectionist how to operate it and how it syncs to the sound system. I left a copy of "Olympic Glory" for them to train with. Then flew to Memphis to do the one at Peabody. They understood, pus I had the other tech from Megasystems with me, so we doubled teamed and were done in no time. Then I get a call from Orlando, the sound kept going out of sync. So I flew home and drove to Orlando to check it out. The attached Kodak ad seemed to be in sync, and the disney logo seemed to be in sync. But when the first scene started it was about 2 seconds off. Then it would slowly drift out of sync. They kept blaming the equipment, but I told them it was acting like it had missing frames. They assured me there were no breaks and kept blaming the equipment. I finally started snooping around the room and found the boxes that the film came in. I forget how many rolls, but the projectionist left reference frames on the heads and tails. That explained the drifting during the film. Then I saw a piece of film sticking out of the trashcan under the projectionist desk. I pulled out about 10 pieces of the crinkled chewed up film and layed it on the floor. Their circuit tech was there, and I just said "you still think it's equipment? Then the projectionist came in and I pointed at the film to which he replied "Oh yeah, I forgot about that" I had been on the phone with disney a few times during all this, and called to tell them the outcome. The asked if I would stay and put together a new print the next morning and make sure it was right. They delivered one early and I was showing the projectionist and tech how it was done. We used Strong high speed platters, and I was showing him how slow to go. There was a squeeky roller on the mut, I was almost done and the projectionist snuck up behind me with an oil can and by the time I saw him squirting it, it was too late. Oil splattered all over me and the print. I told the tech to get that asshole out of the booth, or I would kick his ass and throw him down the stairs. I blotted the oil drops off the print and luckily there was no damage. Screened the film, reported to Disney and drove home in an oily shirt. Rick  |  IP: Logged
