Author Topic: Blue Streak D.T.S. Rick Long Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 759 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 1999 posted 09-26-1999 01:51 AM                     Anybody else find the D.T.S. track for "Blue Streak" excessively hot (loud)? I received two complaints this week-end.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-26-1999 02:46 AM                     I'm running between 1-2db lower than my reference level with Blue Streak. Good track, though!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-26-1999 03:54 AM                        I turn Blue Streak up from the normal levels for the weekends. I do not run it lower than any other movies, even in DTS. That's because the crowd that sees that type of movie wants it loud. I have not had any complaints. But that's because my theatre is perfect  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-26-1999 11:32 AM                     Perfect? Them's mighty strong words there, Joe. Absolute perfection??? (I would take this opportunity to make an SDDS comment here, but unfortunate for me, I know you don't have any.)  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-26-1999 10:21 PM                        Yes, perfection! The projectionist uniform is a tuxedo. And we take the extra time to make sure each and every frame is projected perfectly. Just kidding. Everyone knows that there is no such thing as a perfect booth.  |  IP: Logged Rick Long Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 759 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 1999 posted 09-26-1999 10:26 PM                     It's a bitch changing drive belts in a tuxedo ain't it?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-27-1999 02:50 AM                        No, I am assisted by my manservant Geeves. Each projector has its own manservant in a tuxedo as well. Even a guy to open the door for me when I enter/exit the booth. Elegance extreme!  |  IP: Logged Rick Long Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 759 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 1999 posted 09-27-1999 09:04 PM                     Strange you should mention that. I suspect that many booths have this elegant arrangement - even some of those here in Ontario. Stranger still, all the servants seemed to be named Jeeves here, as well. So many times have I been climbing the stairs to a booth only to hear, down the hall, the projectionist shouting to his servants (using the plural) "JEEVE'ES WHAT WENT WRONG NOW?".  |  IP: Logged
