There was a movie "In Like Flint" wasnt there??

Yes, Yes - I have no life on Saturday nite. I'm babysitting...its better for my internal organs.

I've never heard of "In Like Flint" either, but In Lik Flynn is sure used around here...

On another note, i signed up here today, and imagine my surprise when the FIRST topic I head to includes a fellow Victorian from Aust!! Nice to see we're get out in the world and making our mark.

Speaking of In Like Flint, I've been trying to find the ringtone of the red phone in that movie to use as a ringtone. Now that was a cool ring!

That movie is a sore spot with me. They showed it on TV in the pre-cable days and it was a big deal at the time (early 70s) - they hyped it for weeks prior and I was dying to see it. I was maybe 11 or 12 and did something stupid that week and got myself grounded so the whole family watched it while I had to stay in my room. 40+ years later, I'm still pissed about that.

You and everyone else. I did a Google search and even discarding the obvious fake generated hits "Buy a book on oblivated possum mullifacations

", there are a lot of people who are looking for or who have created tones for that ring.

Well I can rent the movie and record the tone. How do I get from *.wav to a ringtone?

The sound you speak of is widely available on the net.

I happen to have one handy, right here.

What you need to do is find some way for your phone to capture the .mp3 file.

You can either hand enter the URL into your phone's web browser, or you can email the link to your phone and tell it to open the link in the email, which is how I have been doing it.

I have a couple "custom" ringtones that I generated this way, including the complete Outer Limits theme, but that's a bit much. I really have to edit that one down to just the control voice parts.

As an aside, In Like Flint and Our Man Flint are two of my favorite movies. They are available on DVD.

Very good sound quality - Thanks! UT is right about Verizon not making it easy but I heard that Motorola sells software that you can use to get it from the computer to the phone via a small USB cable.

Off to find the software...

I have a new found respect for you Beestie, I wish some day, I too can hold a grudge like you :p

Undertoad · 08-27-2006, 11:08 AM

I TOO have wanted that tone!

And the buzzy ring from "Brazil" to assign to annoying callers.

Somewhat of a tangent, but a friend of mine assigned all their Windows event sounds to .WAVs of Hal 9000 . . .

I used one of them for a Windows event. I think it was the Critical Stop event that I tagged with: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't let you do that."

Another good one is: "This type of thing has happened before, Dave, and it's always been attributed to human error..."

The Mac OS was the first to allow you to attach sounds to actions. About 15 years ago, for a short while, when you inserted a floppy into my mac you got the diner sound from When Harry Met Sallie.

There's a part of me that never grows up.

The machete part was funny but you still think too much of yourself.

gawd grow up. And get that god damm quote off your profile ID.

In like Flint and Our man Flint were two spoofs of the James Bond genre.

James Coburn played Flint, the super-cool spy.

Yet Bond himself was a spoof - created by Ian Fleming in the late 50's, Bond was meant to satirise the cold war and the american obsession with orgranised crime (hence SPECTRE). It didn't work and Fleming was forced to create 'The man from U.N.C.L.E' as a spoof of a spoof, with THRUSH being the spoofed villain of a spoof villain......
