Part of the draw for people to leave their VCRs and DVD players behind to see a movie in a commercial theater is for the BIG size of the screen and the large auditorium holding it. If the screening room is not much larger than a living room, what's the point?
I'm with you. I've found myself in those tiny (50 or so!) auditoriums also. It would be nice to demand your money back & shriek "I paid for a movie, not TV in your broom closet!", but like getting up to have someone fix projection problems, it's can become perceived as social problem if you've gone to the movie with others. Paying for a movie & then being shown to a joke entsy auditorium is really one of the ways that theaters burn customer trust & goodwill to an absolute cinder. (Wasn't there a scene in "Bachelor Party" or something with a chase in a multiplex, they open a broom closet door, & two people are in there watching a movie?)

Very funny, but unfortunately this list is only about boring cinemas and "Slut 80erne" is Danish for "at the end of the 80s".I'm sure that "Kaj's Kinoteknik" would have plenty of Slut 80s in stock, as a matter of fact, he makes them himself on demand. The story of "Kaj's Kinoteknik" is long and funny and relates specifically to field service engineers. In short, Kaj's takes over whenever others simply must give up, due to incompetence or lack of ideas. Kaj's belong to "Film-Yak", there can be no doubt, and one day, he might turn up and entertain everyone with his great inventions like the CoolBooster, the Palermo V (Winner of the Kalashnikow Acheivement Award), the GojnerScope lens and not least, the lens that can turn a faded film into Glorious Technicolor. He'll be back!!! ------------------
All my best

>>What is the proper way to do an interlock anyway?<<Surely you have seen Brad's Interlocking video...  Seriously, its easy: feed platter>projector>accumulator rollers>projector>accumulator>projector>take up platter Automations should be interlock capable so all machines start moving at once, and if something breaks down somewhere in the chain it all stops at once... -Aaron
