my 1st week in the booth way back in 99 i started eyes wide shut instead of a pg film on the 3rd platter, then again who schedules an r and a pg in the same house….oh yeah managers who dont care or are not trained by corprate

this happens all the time, but the contrast in trailer content should be the 1st sign to stop the print and reset

no matter how big my tv gets no matter how great the surround sound or the high def

my favorite thing bar none in the whole world is sitting in a theater as the lights go down.

i still offer an adult movie ticket for 5 dollars, 3 dollars for matinee children and seniors

yet no one comes and becuse of that the movies will go the way of my dignity, kills me to think i am going to extremes to create an experiance like the ones i had as a child, these same things that made me fall in love with movies. and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO one cares at all, and in the end people will pile into regal for saw 12 while i have 4 or 5 people for casablanca

i worked for regal for 7 years, between 3 theaters, the bigger the company gets the less they care about the product, i went to see W. at the theater i use to run, got dirty looks from former employees, the concessionist was way to buisy talking to friends in line to deal with me, my soda was flat. no manager was to be found, the movie was out of frame the 1st 3 reels and the mens room looked like animals were grazing in there right before i came to use it.

i remember working at amc and regal and caring what people thought of our little 7 or 8 plex, coming to work looking clean and putting alot into how i present my films (except for the 2 mis splices in barn yard that got me written up)

sadest part is this is prob my last stop, i left amc when i was 17 to go to regal to be a manager and didnt give 2 weeks cause i was in high school and thought i had it all figured out. i lost my job at regal after 7 years becuse a girl “hahaha wish i knew what i know now” and no matter what i put in, what i learned. if my current digs decides to pull the plug then looks like thats it for this magical mystery tour

its like trying to beat back the ocean with a stick. no matter how hard you try no matter what you give or how you come at it the waves just keep crashing….hahaha ok that was a lil dramatic

honest answer is despite having 3 dollar and 5 dollar tickets in the economic mess, despite programing 1st run films and fantastic classic trailers and drive in ad’s from my collection and once a month a 35mm print of a classic film

the powers that be do little to promote or advertise and slowly cut back the show times so its frustrating becuse i love what i do but what i do doesnt love me these days

timing a shutter i do know, the guy who trained me when i was 17 at amc marlton was like yoda and ill never forget the film on the platter was the pledge with jack nichelson and i was cared to death i screwed up theater 4

i pick up peices as i go and try to soak up as much info as i can, to many people just learn that bare minimum to get by and not be noticed by the amc’s and regals

no word on the ventnor for months but i realy havent had my ear to the ground i have my own theater issues to wade through
