Author Topic: No CP at Imax Theatre at Birmingham UK! Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-09-2002 07:20 PM                     I agree. Why would you want to remove all the equipment that was so painstakingly installed in the first place? I have gotten so many mixed responses on the condition of the theater that I might go there and check it out for myself.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

The amount they are now 'SAVING' will be lost 10000 - fold the day the machine throws the registration pin alignment and that's it for the rest of the day. This, hopefully, will happen on a Saturday or a Sunday for these jerks.

England Registered: Jul 99 posted 03-26-2002 04:40 PM                     Just a quick thanks to eveyone who kindly suggested some possible new leads for me to find work, since my departure at Birmingham and special thanks to Sandie for the kind words. Since I have left, I belive most of the remaining FOH staff and some managers have resigned or were sacked!  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-26-2002 08:24 PM                     Looks like they will be out of business soon at that rate  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-28-2002 12:20 PM                        There's always plenty of projectors to rebuild here Ben !!  |  IP: Logged
