why do all of you whine about how difficult it is to run a theatre? I mean... come on! You = movie theatre manager = easiest occupation ever! why should anyone ever need to request help from an online theatre site? who knows!

Ground zero.

yes, and raising a child is easy. Two claims that have a bit of truth but a flipside: if it's easy you're doing it wrong. And won't be doing it much longer.

C'mon Billy it's 2010, no one forum trolls anymore.

Looks like we have someone who registered just to troll. At least his troll bait is in the correct section of the forums, though.

My finger hurts SO MUCH from pressing "play" all day.

Who'd of thunk that shit talks (er, writes)?

Why does someone neglect to capitalize the letters at the beginning of each sentence? It's the easiest thing ever! Why would I want to read anything written by someone who can't handle the easiest grammar? Who knows?

The troll capitalized the Y in You. That's asking a lot ya know.

The easiest occupation ever is a meteorologist. Its the only job where you can be wrong every day and not lose your job. [Razz]

hope your new manager sees this and fires your ass on the spot!

sounds to me like he has already been fired. [fu]

But it's almost as easy to keep your job if you're an NBC executive.

What's wrong, Billy? Did your mommy get you a lame board game for Christmas instead of a X-box 360?
Was it Candyland or Chutes and Ladders?

HAHAHAHAHA! Film-Tech is not an online theatre site. This is an online theatre site.

Or even worse, a bank executive. You can screw up REALLY bad, and not only do you get to keep your job, you get a HUGE bonus as well.

I can't believe this site got a troll. The forum I help to run (it's for supporters of my Football team) used to get a fair few of them but that came with the territory as they were fans of rival clubs. They mostly left after we had to change host, NewsCorp were the eventual owners and shut the network down, and our new place is easier to use but harder to troll on.

Regardless, no-one ever moans about the difficulty of the job on here. Reading sites like this makes the job a lot easier if anything.

Yikes,just like a bad brain wrap....just does not want to go away [Confused]

I can honestly say our little friend has never gone to a film festival in his life, to experience movie theatre operation in overdrive... [Smile]

'Tis indeed amazing what our friend Mr Google dredges up when the terms "William" and "Quotes" are entered....and how scarily appropriate they are.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

Alas, I am a woman friendless, hopeless!

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

Give thy thoughts no tongue.

Gentlemen, I do believe we are in the presence of greatness for our friend William appears to be of grand literary stuff.

..then again, he could just be a dick.

Similar to the above:
It is better for everyone to think you the fool than it is to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
