The message I got from the theater employee on the other end was that: "There are strobe lights going off in 'The Incredibles' auditorium and people are complaining, and they needed me at the theater to do something". Now, I must point out that this message was relayed to me through two people, one of whom does not know English well, and the other who knows NOTHING (and I mean Z-E-R-O ! !) about technology of ANY sort, and especially about anything that goes on at a theater. To further "muddy the waters" there had been a problem Thursday morning, in that auditorium, before showtime, with the fire alarm system going off, which, of course, activates strobe lights. So, I made the 45min trip back to San Francisco, without stopping for lunch, and got to the theater and then I found out all it was was this effing letter from Disney.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 06-17-2018 11:13 AM                     Wouldn't lightning in movies cause reactions from photosensitive people? I remember on 35mm, flashes of lightning would many times have interspersed clear frames.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 06-17-2018 04:17 PM                     I think it's more productive if we all concentrate on the topic Frank posted above.  |  IP: Logged
