Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-05-2005 10:52 AM                     What is that device on top of the projector? At first glance it looks like there is film cleaning media attached, but after looking closer, that doesn't seem to be the case. I also noticed that that set of pics as well as some of the other recents picture submissions don't have captions. Were there just none available or will they be added at a later date?  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-05-2005 12:32 PM                     James, They should be brackets for their PTRs. If I remember correctly, I think a set of rollers snaps in place which allows you to engage or disengage them from the film path. It's been a while since I have seen them, I think Speco made them., Rick  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-05-2005 04:22 PM                     I'm just too busy to write captions for all of the picture pages coming up.

A good manager knows how to use their time wisely and delegates responsibilities to others. Captions for these pics would seem like a good task for Adam especially since they are "...from the Adam Martin collection." Besides, Adam told me he's bored and spends all his time on porno websites. OBTW: That "bracket" is a PTR film cleaner. I think there was a another uncaptioned pic there with about a dozen PTR rollers on a table. While it's a great product for film-printing labs and 1570 projectors, they don't belong in a commercial 35mm theatre...waaaaay too much maintenance for them to work properly. Since I'm not in the film/projection/engineering biz, I wondered what I was looking at just like several other members.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-05-2005 06:20 PM                     Adam is just as busy as I am.

Besides I don't know technically what I'm looking at or talking about. I would consider it ***IF*** I also had the power to change your ID pic... Oh, and eye done't no howz 2 speel or tawk gud inglish.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

All they need is bright toxic green thrown in somewhere and the look would be complete.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-05-2005 07:24 PM                        Nobody can caption pics they didn't take except me. And they wouldn't be polite captions, and I know Film-Tech doesn't want to offend any potential customers. But having no captions makes it easy to scroll through a picture page in less than 20 seconds. All that work taking pictures barely even noticed!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-05-2005 08:49 PM                  quote: Joe Redifer ...and I know Film-Tech doesn't want to offend any potential customers. "Customers"???? Does that mean you have re-opened the "Film-Tech House of Ill-repute" or are you still sending them to "Phil's SeXXX Den"?  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

I'm still in awe of the Dolby screening room. I can't comment on picture and/or sound quality, but the room itself is gorgeous.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-05-2005 11:01 PM                     It's the new reality show TV idea: Dolby Labs' "Pimp my Screening Room." Too bad the audience demographic would be kinda limited in number. Not everyone gets excited about movie sound.  |  IP: Logged James R.

And the pictures for the Hollywood 20 in Pasadena (a few miles from where I live) probably wouldn't be too favorable since the pictures make the place look better than it really is.  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 12-06-2005 11:45 AM                        whats with new theatres and really old video games? Ms. Pac Man?! I've also never seen a coke machine in a lobby before. But you've got to love the dedication it took to cut tiles to put a star in the middle of the bathroom floor!  |  IP: Logged
