Author Topic: Tagged Theaters David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-03-2004 09:04 PM                        The only time I've seen any signs of theater "tagging" was at the Edwards Irvine Spectrum. Someone had ruined the mirrors in the mens room with whatever that chemical is that etches glass. It was way ugly.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-03-2004 09:16 PM                        I think I have told this story before but it bears repeating here. Somebody threw a huge wad of very sticky gum onto our several-year-old screen and when I pulled it off, the pearlescent coating came off with it. Needless to say it looked like crap, and we had "Titanic" coming up that weekend. I was singing the blues about this to a friend of mine who's wife was a fingernail-art person. When I used the word "Pearlescent" her eyes lit up and she said "I have that kind of stuff in my nail paint." So, against my better judgement I said we could give it a try. She used the colorless "pearl" nail paint to fix the spot. It looked almost perfect. We still replaced the screen (insurance covered it) but we got through the "Titanic" run with no complaints.  |  IP: Logged R.

Some little punk kids I'm sure. We weren't even open yet.  |  IP: Logged Brent Neal Jones Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Ennis, T.X., USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 09-10-2004 02:18 PM                     Two words, I'm suprised no one else said; nail polish.  |  IP: Logged
