OK, I started this to see if you had the same things happen.Was there a scene when it looked like the film was getting off track and showing sprocket holes. Brad stayed clear but everything else was out of focus and could see sprocket holes. I think it was just the movie. What did anyone else see. It was kinda weird and gross in places. Don't think it will last too long. Keep those mops handy and install an airsickness bag on the back of the theatre chairs. Paul Konen

Were the sprocket holes clear or black? If they were clear, it sounds like the print was mispositioned in the gate of the projector, and then jumped back into place. If the sprocket holes are black, it sounds like the print film jumped off the sprocket in the printer, and then got back on. Did the film jump out of frame?Look at the print itself on a rewind. If the image shows what you saw on the screen, it is likely the print film jumped off the printer sprocket and back on again. Note that the lab prints the soundtracks and the picture as two separate originals on two separate sprockets, so only one is likely to be affected in this way. Jumping the printer sprocket would be a one-of-a-kind incident, and you can ask the lab for a new reel. ------------------

Brad is so right when he points out the unkind act of showing people all about cue marks. Not long ago while visiting family in Peterborough, I bumped into an usher I knew back at the Drive-In, years before. "You bastard" he yelled, "since you showed me those circles on the film, I always see'em, can't ignore them." We settled old differences over a couple of beers while I explained the difference between flat and scope (and how he should demand a lower admission price for a flat movie). I imagine next time, he'll be carrying a baseball bat.
