I was in a platter booth (that makes it a nightmare, right?)

That all depends. What kind of platters were they?

It sounds like you were in the Loew's/Cineplex Beverly Center in Los Angeles. Because thats always the way I picture it when I did preview screenings there.

But it's very disconcerting to think I'd be dreaming of projection...and platters at that...instead of, say, Jen and her guitar.

Awww... How sweet

I've never dealt with a platter-related disaster that wasn't the direct result of someone else's negligence (like leaving a booth after threading not noticing that the film was wrapping continuously). I'll defend platters to the death because as long as I'm the projectionist, things go smoothly.

Sorry to get off subject; guitars are cool. I like them better than projectors, actually.

A hot girl starts talking about someone joining her for a shower, and you can still talk about projectors and guitars.

There's a theater here that closed about 3 years ago that I've been yearning to open so bad it gives me an ulcer.

For a couple weeks, I'd have these recurring dreams of driving to that theater, unlocking the doors, going to the booth and building all the prints for the "opening." It wouldn't always be the same way, though. These dreams were progressive.

The first few, the theater looked as it did now -- empty and closed. Later on, as I drove up to the theater in subsequent dreams, the sign was up. Then there were posters in the cases. I remember one where I walked by the concession counter on the way to the booth, and it was stocked....

I think I know what these dreams mean. Who wants to help me open this thing??????

I think changeover dreams are scarier. I had a dream where I started R-1, and then realized I only had one projector and had to set up another one before it was time to make the changeover.

Eh...Mark G. once replaced a stripped Brenkert shutter gear while a show was running (6000' reels) and had it ready to go in time for the projectionist to make the changeover.

Jen, I'll give you a shiny new quarter if you illustrate this thread with a pic of you peaking out from behind a shower curtain.

you guys should just head over to Yafro . There are plenty of girls craving attention that dont mind showing it all. Judging by the way everyone drools over JP, one would think that noone on this site has ever even seen a girl.

By the way, I did have a dream about work where I was told to either starting combing my hair or find somewhere else to work.

I don't think anyone is seriously drooling but enjoying some fun with no political or hurtfull spiteful jibes for a change. If Jen was offended and it continued then that would be a different story
So now where was that bidding at?

Chris, I was only suggesting a shot of her peeking from behind a curtain, revealing nothing and probably fully clothed. Sell the sizzle not the steak.

And what is the business model for Yafro? Suddenly turn it into a pay site like the "meet me" side of Hot Or Not?

Posted by Chris Hipp (Member # 1788) on 06-30-2004, 03:02 AM:
 
They say that they are just funding Yafro with the same money that they get from HotorNot. I doubt it will be long before they start charging, then it will just be a porn site like the rest of them.

Like the rest of them what? Hot Or Not is a sort of Rate My Face site with a subsidiary matchmaking feature. Certainly not porn (everything is reviewed by volunteer moderators before it hits the site. The criteria is PG13.) although I do have an office worker friend whose employer's mindless filters block it, probably just because it has "hot" in the URL and no one bothered to actually look.

Back when it was still called Am I Hot or Not there were numerous parody sites including "Am I Goth or Not," "Am I Jailbait or Not" and even "Am I All Your Base Or Not." (From the All Your Base Are Belong To Us fad)

________________________________________________________________

And I seem to remember you driving me on that 4th of July from Henry's Farm near Rockford to the York Theatre in Elmhurst at about Mach 6 to get it done before that 6000 foot reel ran out(85 miles no less!)! We lived to tell about it I guess....

Was that the 4th of July that were we using the Super Cinex to show films on the side of Henry's Barn? We did that on a number of 4th celebrations... but I can only remember how good the roast pig was there.... yummy !

The Super Cinex was a James Bond operation. Not sure which year that was.

OK, I'm appointing myself Jen's agent. We don't do wet T-shirts or running showers but we'll take Phil's $10.27 and $2 from Gordon, $3 from Jeremy, $4 from William, and $10US from Paul. The shiny new quarter? My commission of course. Twenty-nine bucks to stand behind a curtain...not bad.

But professor... WHO threw the pies?

Oh, I threw the pies!

Ya know what.... I gave the wet T-shirt idea a thought.... and my decision is....

No. Plus I don't think I actually agreed to take a picture of myself looking out from a shower curtain in the first place... But I have an idea who can take the pic... hmmm... Joe? But that also means that none of you guys will ever see the picture.

Ummm... Steve... I think you missed out on the old tabloids. Cuz I believe I already signed the papers. And I think it was my idea.

Joe: A video? hmmm... I think I can recall it was also supposed to be shot on 24fps.
