BR Whiskey Bottle Project...BOTTLE REALIZED...AGAIN???!!!

[joberg]

I use a rubber cork for some bottles (better fit, never has to be trimed even if you think it's too big...the soft rubber will be squeezed into the opening). Some hardware store are selling them.

[Mr Webber]

Heres a rare item on offer from the creator himself........

Wow, what a price! Still not enough to make me part with mine though.

I am still looking for the perfect cork. I was hoping a synthetic cork that was in a bottle of Phillips Union whiskey would fit but it is too small by the merest fraction. An ex-intern at our studio who is still in college has promised to hunt one down while at the many parties he attends.

I stuck a cork from a wine bottle in mine. Worked just fine.

[Mr Webber]

For those still hunting......

Now if only we could get a friggen bottle made that didnt crack and that fit a standard type cover. If this does ever see the light of day again I say we find a cap that looks right and then design off of that.

So, anyone find the real one yet?

[joberg]

Let's dig up that old (albeit interesting)topic . I'm afraid that we'll never see an original used prop (either BR or Annie)...unless someone is in need of some serious dough (like Mr.X, having worked as the major visual effect guy on StarWars selling an original Tie Fighter )

I'm sure someone, somewhere has a bottle; he's not talking, 'cause it possible that, during production, it "dissapeared", or was borrowed...yeah, that's it: borrowed

[Art Deckard]

I was just looking at some screengrabs from the Annie Blu-Ray to see if the label on the bottle might give me some clue as to it's real world origins. No joy. This is as good as it gets.



The film is set during the prohibition era and Carol Burnett's character is drinking homemade 'Bathtub Gin'.
We see her sat in said tub at one point.
We also see her swigging the Gin from various types of bottle that were clearly designed for other purposes.
So OUR bottle wasn't necessarily meant to be a liquor bottle.
Frustratingly, an IMDB user has correctly identified some of the other bottles!

[racprops]

Looking at that picture and how she is holding it: perhaps suggests it might be fairly light..she does not seem to be holding it tightly, as one would do with a heavy glass bottle…

And as this was a bath tub scene could it be a lighter plastic bottle that once held bubble bath soap?

I've never seen that movie but I'm well aware of the famous plastic bottle used by the cast. My question is: do we actually see Carol Burnett drink from that bottle; meaning that there's liquid in it?!

[Art Deckard]

[joberg]

I'm asking because, according to my source, all the plastic bottles in BR were vacu-formed from the original...and they all leaked when they try to fill them with liquid (that's why there're the only empty bottles on set).
Unless C. Burnett is using a glass one

[Art Deckard]

[joberg]

Bryant is def glass...as for the Burnett one, it does seem like plastic.
Might be that the leak in her bottle is only partial (seems that the bottle is only filled at the bottom part) and maybe and that's a big maybe, the leak is at a certain place along the seams and she was asked to drink holding it a certain way? Probabilities of course.
