That's cool work. I occasionally do the electrical design for theaters, so I'm pretty familiar with the equipment but not so much with the work.Kason8002 said:
yeah, the food thing is just an inconvenience for us, because when you bring in your food/drink...were not making money off our stuff...good for you...but bad for us, so if we see it we ask that you either finish it off in the lobby or throw it away.Larenxis said:
makes it hard for everyone cause the food is more expensive than the ticket and it's all profitKason8002 said:
both are less than a dollar for everything, worked at a 7-11 so i know that fountain pop is the biggest money marker there is it's pennies a cup
There's only 1 good theater in half hour drive from me and it's crap. It only plays average Hollywood.
The worst experience at a theater I've ever had was when I went to see the Yugioh movie.
There was this guy wearing a t-shirt with a raccoon on it who looked like he was in college or close to it, and always blurted out with a scream at random points in the movie.
I realized a week later that Yugioh sucked and I should probably sell that Blue Eyes White shining dragon I got online.
Can you see the movie easier from the projection booth?

How do people manage to break the projectors? I went to see doomsday and ended up sitting around for two hours afer the movie was supposed to start and they were still running the same add reel with the same crappy music no one ever wants to hear about thelve thousand times over.They appearantly were having diffiulties like 3 minutes after it was supposed to start, then gave up after half an hour on fixing the projector YET no one told anybody waiting on the movie that they cancelled it and we only found out it was caneclled because some one who gave up on the movie found out what happened and came back to tell everyone else.
long story short: Worst service at a movie ever, short of the chairs growing metal spikes I don't think it could have beed much worse.

not really. when i watch moives from booth...TheKnifeJuggler said:
1. I am standing...there is a stool...but when iam setting in it, i cant see through the glass.
2. the sound tower is made to where if its loud enough for me to hear it...there is a lot of feed back...so its not as clear, and if i turn it down, i have to put my ear right next to the speaker...which puts me at an odd angle when watching.
3. I am looking through a small port glass. i can see the whole screen...if iam right up on the glass...which by the way is too far from the sound tower for me to hear.
But then again iam not getting paid to watch movies...i just make sure they start on time and don't break down. I do however get to watch movies for free when iam not working. in fact i just got back today from seeing Indian Jones...for FREE!
Okay, I can understand being mad about a broken projector and the audience not being told. However, how dumb do you have to be to sit in a theater for 2 hours waiting for a movie to start? The guy who finally left the theater could be commended for his intelligence, but only if he'd done it after maybe 15-20 minutes. That is so sad that anyone would wait so long without leaving.The Potato Lord said:

About the smuggling things into theatres, most people let me bring in whatever I want. I went to see a movie with a tripod in a box that said 'tripod' all over it, and a camera in my purse. No second glances. Before I caught onto this bit of apathy though, I would be more subtle. When I saw The Corporation for the second time I had a backpack under my jacket that made me look disproportionately obese so my friends and I could eat during it's long runtime.
And while I'm reminiscing, I'll tell you another story. You know on sitcoms how they have students carry around fake babies for their CAPP or Planning class? Well, I actually had to carry around a sack of flour in a bundle for a week or so. And I took it with me to see Children of Men. Afterwards I was in an elevator filled with other people who had just seen the movie, and I'll just say I got many odd looks.
depending on what it is just shove it down the front of your pants or put it in your pocketKason8002 said:
sneaking things into places is easy, just have to hide it or at least conceal it and don't make it look like you're hiding something
I work at a theatre too, but work as an usher. It sucks, a lot. I have to deal with every idiot that goes to the movie (other wise known as every person that goes to the movies). So, thats fun.
i know what you mean...its like no ever comes to a theater twice. The all walk in with zombie expressions going...uhh..."what side of the ticket do i keep?"..."i can get something to eat at the concession stand and bring it into the movie, right?"...or what gets me is..."where do i buy the tickets?" Too many idiots are in existence.MizPiz said:
yeah but you're missing the thing that in theaters there's a few different places to get tickets, the three theatres around me each one has 3 different spots to get tickets, which are the main ticket both, the conession stand and the self serve machines, not all of them work all the times so sometimes it's hard without a sign or somethinKason8002 said:
also not to mention some theaters don't clearly label everything. it's great to have a nice big open space but if things aren't easy to spot or you aren't directed to certain spots by the eay placement of a sign, you have to ask sometimes
i'd say the stupidity in that instance is on both sides of the fence, not just the customers
