Hey everyone,

Well since the "Most Painful Mistakes" thread had a lot of interesting posts, I decided to let people now post the most funny/coolest things they have done or seen happen in the booth.

For example (prolly not a very good one): One morning i was scheduled to set-up and run a private screening of "The Grinch" for a local church group. I remember after getting the concessions done and after everyone was seated, I was told that a ventriloquist would be performing just before the show. So for ten minutes, after threading and checking my machine, I watched this really funny act put on by this guy and his dummies, and he was good! He even did an act with him drinking water and brushing his teeth while he made one of his dummies sing, pretty damn impressive. Well after he was done I headed downstairs and helped him move his stuff off of the stage, but man that was a cool experience.
I know there's some better stories out there, and I'll add some more every now and then to keep this thread going, but by all means tell us your stories!

My funniest to me was when I was training a new projectionist at a 3-screen, reel to reel with xeon lamps, the new man was a scary/nervous type guy, been promoted to the booth from doorman, so he knew a little about the booth....as we were walking to thead a machine, he ask..."What Do You If A Bulb Explodes"...just as he said that...BOOM a bulb did explode by the machine we were standing at...I said.."Like That, turn these switches off".....believe me it scared the bee-gee-vees out of him !!!

it doesn't really have to do with the equiptment, but a few weeks ago, i bought one of those razor scooters. it was a total waste of money, but man, those are fun. when i scoot around, it sounds like thunder to the people downstairs.

Let's show some professionalism here. The projection room is NOT a playground.

I always thought that it would be fun to rollerblade around a largeish multiplex booth, but I've never actually done this and don't plan to.

Posted by John Walsh (Member # 168) on 12-08-2001, 01:43 AM:

We had a guy who was convinced that the projector was too low. So he filled some 1/2 gallon milk cartons with concrete, and put them under the projector. Well, the thing really only needed to be brought up a little and tilted. The guy didn't know RP40 from a cooking recipe, but he said he knew all about aligning projectors.

Another time, I was at a theater that had just opened. The manager was telling me about all the theaters he had opened in the past, and how he knew everything there was to know. As he was talking, he walked to a port window between the projector and the platter to look out... and kicked the returning film out of the platter rollers, shutting down the show. Actually turned out to be a good thing, as he never came in again.

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 12-08-2001, 01:31 PM:

One of my favorites happened about 3 years ago.

One of our local preachers approached me about running a free showing of some Billy Graham movie on an off night (since we're in a very small town, we are usually closed on Thursdays). He already had the film and everything. Problem was, the film was in 16mm. After I explained the difference, he left, but then came back later saying he had lined up a projector! I tried to tell him that it would never work, the auditorium was too big for a little 16mm machine, the image would be too small, too dim, etc. but of course he wanted to "try it out."

So we went to the theatre on the next Thursday morning and set up the 16mm machine on a table in the auditorium. As expected, the picture was only about 5 feet wide, but was fairly watchable, brightness-wise. We decided to try moving it back farther, and finally decided to go for broke and put the machine right in front of the booth, at the top of the balcony.

Well when we turned it on, the picture looked as if it was made to order for our screen. Filled it perfectly from top to bottom (a little narrow, of course). And still bright enough to watch. "Hallelujah!" the preacher said.

Then it hit me: what about the sound? I had never even thought about the sound. The preacher suggested hanging the little 6" speaker from his projector over the balcony rail, but I said let's try hooking it into the line-in on our non-sync system, which required some creative patch-cording....and that worked too! Not perfect theatre sound by any means, but certainly listenable. "Praise the Lord!" said the preacher. So, now having determined (in the words of Young Frankenstein) that "IT! COULD! WORK!!!" we put a one-sheet up in the window. This was the extent of our advertising campaign.

Since it was all a same-day thing, we hadn't advertised this show in the paper. It wasn't on the marquee or on our weekly email or anything. It wasn't even on our answering machine, because I was still concerned about the "quality" of the presentation so I wasn't really wanting to advertise this as one of our regular "feature" movies. "Don't worry," said the preacher, "We all mentioned it during services last Sunday."

An hour before showtime, every preacher in town showed up to "help," and they had a little prayer meeting before we opened the doors. Well you can probably guess...the place was packed! We almost had to turn people away. We sold something like $350 worth of concessions. Nobody said a word about the slightly dark, smaller-than-usual, 16mm picture or the non-stereo, non-surround sound. (Maybe presentation DOESN'T matter?) We even had to stop mid-show to change reels, and sold another few bucks in concessions while the preachers took up a collection to pay for the film. Afterward, all the preachers stayed behind to help clean.

Moral: Never underestimate the power of prayer, or the value of having a bunch of preachers mention a show from the pulpit.

I had been running a reel to reel show and was having my supper when
it was time for a reel change. So I placed my half-eaten sandwich
on the ledge of the viewing port. (first the wax paper on the ledge, then the sandwich on top of that) Well, part of the wax paper was hanging into the booth and somehow I bumped it spinning the sandwich around - and out it fell!! No, I didn't have the nerve to go down and retrieve it. Hopefully it didn't land on some arriving movie-goers head! :eek

Posted by John Walsh (Member # 168) on 12-09-2001, 12:16 AM:

When I was in high school, I sometimes ran the movies that were shown in the auditorium. (Yeah, I was an AV nerd, but so were most of you guys, too!) There were a pair of B&H 16mm machines with the MARC 300 lamp, so it was half-way decent setup.

The art class teachers decided to show, "Lust for Life" about the painter Van Gogh. The art department alone could not pay for renting a regular, commerical film, so the art teachers talked the History, English, and Psychology departments into sharing the cost. Normally, this would be OK, fun even, but to sell the idea to school administrators, the teachers said they would have everyone write a report about the film, right when finals are comming up- more work. Also, because of the film's running time, we would all have to stay late after school normally let out- everyone misses their bus and has to walk home. These factors really pissed off the kids.

On showing day, there were about 500-600 kids in the auditorium. I start up the machine and dim the lights. Before the opening credits even finish, some kid yells, "Cut your fuckin' ear off!" Other kids yell the same thing, and pretty soon several hundred kids are chanting "Cut your fuckin' ear off! Cut your fuckin' ear off!...." Everyone was sent back to class within 15 min of arriving. But, we didn't have to write a report or miss the bus.

Although I still laugh when I think about it, this story is not so much cool or funny, but an example of what happens when teachers decide to do something *they* want, rather then what the kids need or want.

It's funny, but I've always been somewhat nervous about sitting right under the booth port window if it is openable. I'm also nervous about sitting directly under a speaker. About the port -- I always imagine someone up there accidentally dropping something on me, and always try to sit a seat or two to the side of those. I actually enjoy sitting in the back row often. At the Regal Madison Square 12 in my area, at least some auditoriums have a large surround speaker directly above the center of the back row and I will not sit under those because if it were not attached well and fell, it would probably kill me. I guess I'm naturally distrusting of people in the projection booth and construction workers abilities to fasten things securely, especially at that location where I see parts of light fixtures dangling from the ceiling by a chain or wire. Oh, and I don't like to sit directly under ceiling fans in the Huntsville Regals either for the same reason. I guess this all shows that I have a phobia about things falling on me.

When I go to the Eastman Theatre in Rochester, I try to avoid sitting under the huge chandelier that hangs over the center of the auditorium.

Evans,

You're not the only one in that boat. I'll only sit in the back under the port window if it's stadium seating and will not sit anywhere near a speaker or anything else protruding from the ceiling or wall that looks mildly unstable. Maybe there's a name for this phobia, I'll try to look for it :-).

Posted by Gerard S. Cohen (Member # 994) on 12-10-2001, 09:13 PM:

...so the projectionist hears a commotion from the audience and
sticks his bald head out the port to hear what they're yelling and
check the screen image, when his glasses slip off his face and fall
outside the port and he looks down to see them smashed on the aisle below and the screen is a blur while the audience chant rises ever
louder, "FOCUS!, FOCUS!!, FOCUS!!!"

I was working on thr Fly-floor of a Theatre (no not truly a cinema booth story) telling a touring crewman about the eathquake we had during a show a few months early (lots of fun watching all the suspendeded set swinging) when a few seconds later RUMBLE RUMBLE SHAKE SHAKE.
Next night at same point in ballet smart arse touring crew says over comms system 'stand bt earthquake' and not 10 seconds later RUMBLE RUMBLE SHAKE SHAKE.

Thanks Jon,

There was also a funny "Rocko's Modern Life" cartoon about visiting the theater and the projectionist setting the screen on fire with his glasses falling in front of the lens. Everyone thought it was the special effects and just sat back, funny-ass episode for a kid's show.

Daniel & Paul;

Be glad you don't work for Cinemark. If I caught you riding your scooter in one of MY booths, you'd be tossed out on the spot. I'd finish out your shift myself and I'd tell the manager I sent you home.

Having you crash into a projector would be the LEAST of my worries. I'd hate to hear of a situation where the manager comes upstairs looking for you because the movie is 30 minutes late, only to find you lying on the floor all bloody and broken.

I'm not trying to "get on you" or anything but you have to remember that you are in charge of MILLIONS of dollars worth of equipment and the entertainment experience of THOUSANDS of people. How'd YOU like to be the manager who has to explain to a theatre full of Moms and kids that Monsters Inc. isn't going to play today because the projectionist had to be taken to the hospital with a head injury from horsing around?

You should try to act like a professional.

Posted by Paul Harnden (Member # 1034) on 12-12-2001, 06:21 PM:

Randy,

I totally agree with you, I wasn't proud of doing that, and like I stated I did stop. I never skated during the day or when the booth was running just down the long hall when checking to see if my breakers were off before leaving, and never near the equipment. But you were right, and I have been reprimanded, just a stupid thought I posted in accordance with the scooter.

I must admit that I have done my share of fooling around. I'm not trying to be "holier than thou" but that's one thing that just tripped my trigger.

Back in Pennsylvania, where people aren't afraid of gunfire, I used to have a potato gun. One night, we were outside just farting around. I got wise an mentioned to a couple of the other guys that I had the thing in the trunk of my car. About 1/2 hour later, the boss came outside and asked, "Hey, what's all that noise?! Customers are complaining!" We quickly ditched the thing in the weeds and said, "I dunno', boss. We heard it too! We were just out here to find out what it was." <bullshit> It's a lucky thing he didn't look up at the side of the building or he would have seen the "splat marks".

To this day, I kick myself for not keeping my big, fat mouth shut in the first place.

Here's a story that should top the boarding, thankfully it wasn't done by me :-).

On a thursday night I was helping to get the film buildup process going as I had to leave early and be in the next morning to open up. That night was also the last shift of another projectionist as she was being transferred to another theater. So she had invited some other managers from a couple of other theaters to throw a little goodbye party as she built and screened movies. Well thinking that these guys were managers and such that they'd behave themselves accordingly. I was wrong.
I had come in to the booth the next morning to find it a pit, food and such everywhere, projector heads left uncleaned, and finally the scorched remains of a trampoline some 10 feet or so below the rear balcony of the building. I of course was pissed and was about to call the head projectionist, when I recieved a call from the projectionist of honor at the previous night's party. After thoroughly bitching her out she exclaimed what had happened, apologized for the mess and told me (and later my head projectionist, the GM, and the DM) that one of the managers went out to the rear balcony, set the trampoline on fire (under a sprinkler I might add, it was a miracle the thing didn't go off) and tossed it off, leaving it to smolder and leave a nice char-mark on the cement below. Well to cut the story short some people were of course let go, and me with this story to tell.

Posted by Patrick J. McCart (Member # 1043) on 12-13-2001, 10:09 PM:

Some knucklehead asked us to turn up the contrast on the screen.

The manager kindly showed the nice man what film and projectors are.

All I can say is that I'm glad he didn't ask us to pause or fast forward.

Posted by Paul Harnden (Member # 1034) on 12-13-2001, 11:12 PM:

Have had numerous people ask us to rewind the film so that they can watch the trailers they missed. After explaining how everything works, they told me they thought it was just a VCR that we stuck a tape into. You can't believe how hard I had to keep myself from laughing in there face.

That may have been pretty funny to you and to us on this forum, but just imagine what percentage of the audience believes that. Probably greater than we'd expect.

Ever since fight club came out all i get asked is if I ever splice porn frames into reel changes (the answer is no).

Posted by Bob Healey (Member # 1003) on 12-13-2001, 11:47 PM:

I'm not asked about VHS anymore. People do want to borrow the DVD's though. The next question as soon as I say we're using film is if we splice the porn in, and if not, can we start? Fraternities. Gotta love them.

Posted by Paul Harnden (Member # 1034) on 12-13-2001, 11:49 PM:

Yeah, I always get "Ah come on man!" One time I freaked out one person that asked after they had watched their flick by asking, "Didn't you see her?"

Posted by Tom Sauter (Member # 616) on 12-14-2001, 08:59 PM:

Before I was a projectionist and just an audio service tech on call, I was called to a nearby theatre that was having "sound problems." I stuck my head in the auditorium and sure enough something was amiss. I climbed up to the booth and said to the projectionist, "Man! Something is way out of wack in here. I can't understand a single thing those people are saying!"

The projectionist replied, "Tom, the film is in Polish. We just can't seem to get the audio level high enough!"

Got called to the same theatre not long after that and found that the rewind bench was broken. The projectionist on duty was resourceful enough to play the 6000' reels backwards through the idle projector! She had just enough time between shows to rethread both machines.

My all time favorite (which I may have told here before) was when our exciter power supply went out. Hmmmm.... 7.2 volts.... Ran to my car, yanked the battery, my jumper cables, and the toolbox. Picked up some big carbon resistors in the shop and hooked her in. I set dolby level with the house amplifiers off just in time to start the show!

Posted by Richard Topping (Member # 871) on 12-16-2001, 12:06 PM:

While'st training some years ago, I was looking for a spot light switch in the booth. Flicked this switch what I thought was a light switch and both projectors shut down. Took the projectionists on duty a few minutes to spot that I had turned off the extracts!

Posted by Tom Kroening (Member # 201) on 12-18-2001, 09:10 AM:

Randy, I'm going to have to take Paul and Daniel's side on this one(although i've never done it myself). I can remember all the times the movies were staggered back and forth on opposite ends of the booth...what a pain in the @$$! I always wanted to get a booth scooter or something so i could get around faster. With care it could be just like a handicaped person's electric chair or a golfers golf cart. Booth's are HUGE these days and i'll bet you that when those segways come out someone is going to try one up in the booth. Working at a 20 and 18 plex when the power has gone out is NOT fun. You'd be more likely to trip over your own feet while you are booking from projector to projector than to run into one on a scooter. Of course if you are just messing around and practicing your tricks or what not, keep that stuff on the ground floor :P

Posted by Randy Stankey (Member # 64) on 12-18-2001, 10:01 AM:

My first booth, in Erie, PA, was a 17 screen. It was about 200 yards long. (Yes, I measured it.

) I have never had a hard time getting from projector to projector. One "guy" can run that booth alone and will never have to do anything more than a moderate "hustle" to get two movies started at the same time even if they are at opposite ends.

The Cinemark in Norfolk, VA is an 18 screener, divided up into two booths. It's an all-stadium design but you'll never have to go up or down more than a few steps at a time to get to a projector. Again, one person can run that booth alone. It is a larger building and you will have to hustle a bit harder to do the job. Still, I have been able to run that booth myself without any problem.

The Cinemark in Orlando, FL is a different story. It's a 30 screener and it's divided up into 3 booths on two levels. You really need at least two guys to run this booth. It's a good idea to have 3 on Fri or Sat nights. It may remotely be possible to run this one alone but I wouldn't recommend it. It's just a bit too hard to keep an eye on everything when the place is divided up into levels like that.

In all but that last booth it's possible to keep all your movies on time by starting one projector 1/2 to 1 minute early and the other 1/2 to 1 minute late.
There are physical/health requirements to be a projectionist: You have to be able to walk up and down stairs. You have to be able to lift and carry 50 pounds of weight (up and down stairs) without assistance. You have to be able to work while reaching above your head as well as stooping down. You need to be able to work in the dark. I don't see why we can't add the abilty to hustle from one end of the booth to the other to that list. If you can't fulfil those requirements you really don't belong in the booth.

If you can't cover a distance of 200 yards in two minutes you have a real problem.

As a young projectionist in the early 70's, projectionist use to put their name & city on the lid in the film cans, I too did this with my high school graduation year, Sr."73", ten years later I was working at a drive-in theatre in Houston, open the film can & saw my name & graduation date, along with about 20 others.....what are the chances of that with thousands of film cans.....my name was on the top of the list...look like I started something !!!

(dont worry old folks..i had the rubbers) We were up there for a serious 30minutes and our friends were beginning to think what we were doing...well when we came back down my date and my friend were goin all out on the seats and so was my other friend and his date....it was really awesome...lol after that we moved ourself over to consession and "bought" some gummy worms....
