The negative cutter's assistant called today and offhandedly mentioned a price that was higher than the one agreed upon. I expressed my distress.

Just another day in the film business world. I have no deadline at the moment, so I guess the delay won't kill me.
I looked at a computer mock-up of the titles at the title house today. They look pretty nice, simple as they are.
