Author Topic: Parents miffed after UK cinema shows slasher movie to kids by mistake Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-07-2013 03:49 PM                     My mixup gave birth to a mantra that I still include when I train new projectionists: "Always start the right movie, at the right time, in the right theatre, in the correct format." When I used to give written quizzes, that was a fill-in-the-blanks to make sure they remembered all four parts. And then, there's an old (changeover) joke about "the bad projectionist who mixed up the reels for THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and had Moses leading the Jews back into Egypt." I think that might be a quote from a movie -- anyone recall where I might have heard this?  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-07-2013 04:08 PM                        quote: Manny Knowles And then, there's an old (changeover) joke about "the bad projectionist who mixed up the reels for THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and had Moses leading the Jews back into Egypt." It would have been worse with Sodom and Gomorrah (unless you really like salt)...  |  IP: Logged
