Thank you, Mr. Fusion! Can’t get enough theater ads. While I’m at it, those of you who collect 35mm may want to check out http://www.drive-infilm.com – nothing “theater-specific”, but some nice old intermission films, policy trailers, etc., ranging from the 40’s to the 70’s…

And thanks dave-bronx for addressing the Loews materials – I was wondering about those. As I wrote before, I’ve been searching forever and haven’t been able to find anything.

Thanks for responding, dave-bronx. The Loews trailer that I’ve been mainly searching for is the one from the 80’s and early 90’s. Would you, or anyone else on this forum, have any tips on how I could go about finding a copy of this? I’ve tried searching ebay, posting to other forums, and calling several Loews theaters – but to no avail. I would accept the trailer in any format – whether it be a DVD/VHS (unlikely, I know) or a 35mm film print. I am prepared to make an offer similar to what David Bruskin proposed in his original post – it would seem I’m as interested in the old Loews trailer as he is in the General Cinema trailer. Any thoughts?

dave-bronx, could you let me know how you managed to get a copy of the Loews trailer? Also, if you have difficulties importing the video into your computer, I would be more than happy to do it for you and return your original video along with the digital file. Just let me know if you’re interested. By the way, is the Loews trailer you have the one that ran in the 80’s and early 90’s?

Hi dave-bronx and JManz! I’m new to this forum and I happened to catch your posts concerning the old “Thank you for coming to Loews” policy trailer. I have been searching for that trailer for years! To get a copy of it myself, should I just contact Cinema Concepts and inquire about it, or is it a more elaborate process than that? Also, how much should I expect to pay for it? Any information would be GREATLY appreciated. Concerning a way to input the video into your computer, JManz is right on the money. A nice graphics card that should handle what you’re looking for is the “All in Wonder” multimedia card from ATI. They have several models in various price ranges – all you would need is one with composite video inputs. If your tape is “copy protected”, however, the card can detect this and you will be unable to digitize your video. Let me know if you have any other questions about this. Thanks!
