So, what do they call people who live on the island of Lesbos?
Like the site says, people & things related to Lesbos are called Lesbian.
quote: wikipedia
The word "lesbian" is derived from the island's name. This originates in the poems of Sappho of Lesbos, where love between women was described.
quote: wikipedia
It [Lesbos] is also the name of its main island, which is also called Mytilene
Mytilene, also known as Mitylene in Thucydides, various Bible translations, etc., is about 10 miles east of Montgomery, Alabama.

Scott Neff took this photo and must have moved the camera before the exposure was complete.
That's very strange. It doesn't have the smeared look of having moved the camera, or camera shake look on the walls, seats, etc. It's mainly around the screen & ceiling, the ceiling being flat & lighted by reflected light from the screen. My guess is that 1) a movie was running & it wasn't just white light on the screen 2) the humidity if the theatre contributed to exposures at odd positions of light near the screen not just from the direction of the projection beam, but also reflections in other directions 3) possibly something in the camera at areas which are greatly overexposed (if it's a film camera, it doesn't look like internal reflections or fogging, but if it's a digital camera, who knows what's going on in there).
There's always a lot of humidity in theatres; it's not usually immediately apparent, but even slightly longer exposures reveal it by turning spotlights into laser beams & putting odd blobs in space from reflections off odd shiny spots:
The jagged tracer effect of some of the light artifacts extending from the screen could be just action in the movie reflected from the screen or shown in humidity in the beam.
That screen picture also looks like the aperture plate is too wide, & that a lot of picture is winding up on the right-side masking.
If it's something in the camera freaking out over hugely overexposed areas, it might be better to take a picture before the movie.
What kinda movie is that, anyway?
