Do you guys go and shake the projectionist's hand for a good job after the showing?
Asking because I notice more and more people immediately leave after the movie has finished.
>>67121020
Yes and I also tip him.
im on my 39th viewing of the force awakens. shook their hand each time.
>>67121020
What the fuck does a projectionist do anyway? The only time i see the guy is when he's off to lunch.
>>67122241
I was one.
Pretty much nothing. A lot of reading
>>67122241
splicing single cells of pornography into family flicks
>>67121020
Usually I shake his hand after the pre-movie shower and after the film is over
Then I tip him and give any crab legs I had left over from the movie
>>67122408
You're supposed to leave leftover food in the aviary. You know, for the rental birds.
>>67122241
Literally nothing these days. Back when everything was on analog film, they needed some skill.

Sounds like a perfect job for a /tv/ autist.

Sort of off topic, but mysugar mommywants to build a home theater in her house. We mostly read stuff about modern digital projectors that we can hook up Blurays too and everything, but we thought it would be nice to also get a nice analog projector and hunt down some good prints of films we like. However, home analog projectors aren't exactly a big market in 2016 so there aren't a lot of resources about this available. Does anybody know anything about this? Should we just ask around and see if we can find someone who has an old projector? We know how to get some prints.

Just go to the cinema garage sale and see if they're selling any old projectors. I got my falcon perch this way
>>67122852
have fun paying 10k-50k for a 35mm print
>>67123476
Thanks.
>>67123851
We have money.
>>67123476
>he didn't get the Eagle perch
LOL what's it like getting the Betamax of perches?
>>67123946
>>67123476
Oh wait you were bullshitting.
>>67123965
Eagles are shit tier cinema-companions. They're loud, don't appreciate a good film and can't sit still for a minute. Not to mention they will just randomly start hunting prey if they get bored.
A well-trained falcon is trustworthy and loyal.
why would I shake his hand when all he does is press a play button?
>tfw no live editing in the projection booth anymore
>>67125981
That's like saying "all a waiter does is bring you food". They're still doing you a service and you're expected to appreciate and tip them.
>>67121996
>shook their hand each time.
who? the audience?
>>67122683
It Is :^) Everything is digital, you just program in showtimes and build playlists with trailers and shit. Pretty sure I got put in there because of my propensity to upset customers. Joke's on them, I fucking love it up here!!
>>67126095
the watchtower guards
>mfw I don't get tipped by every person in the screening room for pressing a button twice every two hours
Fuck this country, man.
We always play CoD after
I offered him some crab legs before but I never shook his hand.
>>67127842
This reminds me of when I forgot to bring my own copy of the movie to the theatre and didn't get a discount. Luckily I barely had enough money with me to afford the full price plus tip
>>67121020
>projectionist
>good job
you mean doing a good job of sitting on his ass for 2 hours? you fucking idiot
>>67128383
Show some f*cking respect to projectionists.
>>67128546
He's probably jealous his projectionist application got rejected
>>67122533
kek'd
>>67121020
>projectionist
What? I thought the screen nowadays was just like a big tv.
whats the name for this epic meme anyhow? I propose "abstract cinema"
