Friday nights can be interesting at the Roxy. This week our film came direct from another theatre -- the Carmike Mall Cinemas in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. I don't know who the "projectionist" is there, but the film arrived in about the worst condition I've seen in years. (But don't worry, I was able to fix all the bad spots.)
On top of that: One of the concession people was late for work; we had a computer malfunction; the drain on the pop machine clogged up; and a threading mishap (by OUR projectionist, who we're currently training) caused the show to start out of focus which I hate. AND THEN, thanks to the genius at that Colorado Carmike, we had a film break about ten minutes into the movie.
Well, let's see....SOME things worked. The popcorn was good, the toilets didn't overflow, and we had a nice crowd. So all things considered, it could have been worse.
