I just saw one of those "old whatevers never die, they just" bumper stickers and that reminded me:

Old projectionists never die, they just... what?

Fade out?

Drop out of frame?

...?

...switch to platters?

Or if you want to take more of a xenon bulb approach...explode!

Get slow on the uptake
Their reel end alarm quits ringing
Douse out
Work intermittently
Chain slips a sprocket
Look down from that big porthole in the sky
