I'll be switching to digital projection in the middle of the month that it is playing.

Alex, if possible (even if it's awkward booth-space wise) LEAVE your 35mm equipment in place and ready to play!! If not, you WILL be very sorry.

Too many locations are diving head-first into the D-Crapema pool without realizing there IS a very HARD concrete bottom (digital freezes, studios not releasing keys in time, some product not available on digital, etc.) upon which you WILL hit your head. For example:

Just last night I was at Regal's "Movies at Sheapshead Bay" Brooklyn. There were lots of very angry people in the lobby and one guy was on his cell -- so naturally I was forced to hear the conversation as if he were speaking to me -- seems that the digital show of SHUTTER ISLAND had to be shut down because it turned into STUTTER Island and they had to refund tickets. He wasn't a happy pup.

That fact and all the other problems associated with the [bs]

WILL kill the exhibition industry within the next 5-10 years.
