Frank,

That is legal for portable equipment. So are the twist locks. I did it for all too many movies over way too many years... Now my back is paying for it!

quote: Ian Parfrey
Now, a REAL TECH would smell the smoke, empty the corporate drinks cabinet, consume contents of said cabinet, personally extinguish the conflagration using expended contents of cabinet contents, ensure the safe evacuation of all the cute co-workers and bask in the glory and physical adoration from the womenfolk in the building.

Hey, I really like that idea Ian! I might just apply to be Frank's relief projectionist.

You guys are a laugh riot -- Ian, send that script to Irwin Allen and we've got ourselves a blockbuster. And it definately should be in two projector 3D (Mark, you'll have to align so it's perfect -- flames surrounding the audience....what great 3D special effects. Oh, wait....those are real flames! [Embarrassed]

You MUST watch Matinee, a send up of William Castle. Louis

Matinée should be required watching of any theatre person...and if you don't get it...watch it again (and again) until you do!

It is a great movie in its own way.

I'm not familiar with Matinee. IMDB lists several versions. Which are you referring to?

Why with John Goodman, of course!

It has "Rumblerama" and "Atomovision" and much, much more.

Very effective, too, judging by the condition of the balcony! Louis
