However, I've never met a projectionist that has been able to get away with splicing single frames of pornography into family films.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

(This happened to me once in a theatre. I hit an sudience member in front of me in the head)  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2011 11:06 AM                        quote: Monique Bouvier the perfect time (at the start of the first words in the credits) That's wrong. You don't want the lights coming up the second the credits hit the screen. You want to give it a few seconds for the audience to realize the movies is over and get "mentally" ready to go back into the real world -- not "jar" them into reality. (You know you're a projectionist when you're anal about when the lights come up at the end of a movie)  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2011 11:16 AM                        You have you living room lights on a dowser so you can lower them half way for all of the crap at the beginning of the DVD and all the way for the Feature. Extra points if you have aisle lights in your living room. Commentary tracks are NEVER treated as part of the movie  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 01-12-2011 01:36 PM                     All of the above plus: >You have a can of Simplex oil sitting somewhere around the house. >You've used an old arc carbon stub as a pencil. >You've wrapped at least one gift using colored leader film as a ribbon. >You use those little plastic trailer cores as napkin rings. >You've contemplated motorizing all the curtains on your windows at home.  |  IP: Logged Tom Wurz Film Handler Posts: 17 From: Highland,CA USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2011 01:58 PM                     .....when you go to Applebees' restaurant, you know the one with Hollywood stuff hanging on the wall, and ask to be seated next to the Goldberg reel.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-12-2011 03:24 PM                     You spend more time on Film-Tech than on Facebook.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-12-2011 04:58 PM                     The smell of Film-Guard gets you horny.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 01-12-2011 05:33 PM                     The smell of no film guard makes you depressed You think Christie Simplex would be an awesome name You watch a movie thats been out a few years and instantly remember building that title  |  IP: Logged
