Author Topic: Movie Titles on Print Tails Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 11-13-2009 05:01 PM                     I put two of them for 2012: * 2112 (since I'm a Rush fan) * Disaster Movie  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-13-2009 05:36 PM                        I must be the only person who is unfamiliar with this practice. I've not seen any evidence of it at any place where I have worked or on prints that arrive from other theatres. Weird. I usually just do something like "A Clockwork Orange - flat/1.66 - mono" and leave it at that. Boring, but effective.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
