How long did THAT last? I ran those cartoons. It lasted one year - exactly as long as it was supposed to last. It was to celebrate Bugs' 50th birthday if I'm not mistaken.  |  IP: Logged Edward Jurich Master Film Handler Posts: 305 From: Las Vegas USA Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-10-2004 10:26 PM                     quote: Jesse Skeen Porn theaters have been showing consumer-grade video for over 10 years now.

Still looks pretty nice, but was sad to look up and see the projection booth dark. The picture was coming from a large video projector set up in the front rows and roped off, it didn't look very good at all. Still haven't seen any of these new-fangled "digital preshow" things so don't know if they look any better or worse.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Jaro Film Handler Posts: 74 From: Gaithersburg, MD, USA Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-11-2004 09:11 PM                        How come all of Chris's posts are edited out? It makes it hard to read the thread.  |  IP: Logged
