on your browser or click the link to download the AMC Sucks song! It
was generated on a computer but is still good. You should play it as a
non-sync sourse during your intermission---even if you work for AMC! Here are the lyrics to the song: AMC sucks
Don't go there
I can't think of why you should Scratch that scratch that film
Scratch it up
If it ain't scratched it's no good AMC sucks
They sure do
They are really cheap and it shows AMC sucks
And whenever
You go there it really blows It sounds like crap because
They run it in SDDS - SDDS it sucks
It's real bad They have those Torus screens
With their big curve and lots of distortion hell yeah
You've been had AMC sucks
Really bad
You really should stay away But if you go down to
AMC
They'll f*ck it up anyway AMC sucks!

What a rude song...I've never been to AMC, but someone must hate it. I've only heard good things about AMC! ------------------

This was dug up from The Land Before Rules!It is part of the reason Brad imposed rules and poster's pictures. I can only imagine the amount of crap He had to endure before the rules and the disclaimer were set up. In certain markets, AMC has a very bad reputation for film handling. Also, they have tried some experiments in auditorium design that have been less than successful. They should be lauded as pioneers of multiplexes and other ways of doing business. But in there zeal to cut costs, they have the most underpaid, poorly trained projection staffs we have encountered. They also have some of the most inovative theatres in the country. If they would just train their projectionists and pay them better, they would be the 800 pound gorilla.

There are also some USEFUL posts from the beginning of Film-Tech.I feel very old. I was reading this original post when it was very new. I agree. Leave them available to all. AMC must really stink to have a song written about it. They're aint none here in my town.

Yes, AMC has got it's fair share of problems, probably more. I personally won't go to any AMC here in Kansas City (AMC's headquarters by the way) because they are so bad. I used to be the booth manager at the AMC BarryWoods 24 (still have all my old business cards to prove it), and it has fallen to the level of the rest of the AMC's here since I left. Crapola.The major problems have already been mentioned, they hire highschool kids and then don't pay them well. Under $7.00 an hour here in Kansas City. You just can't get people to care for that price. They also severly limit the payroll budget so you end up running a 24-plex with a maximum of 2 operators, that are under trained. There is also a severe lack of leadership in the booth. I was actually what they call an Operations Coordinator when I was running BarryWoods 24. The Managing Director realized that there was a need for leadership in the booth so I was given the honorary title of Booth Coordinator, and oversaw all booth operations. For a mear $7.70 an hour I was required to make sure everything was done every week. Which is about a 80 hour a week job at a 24 plex. When you are required to work all thursday, friday, and saturday nights, do routine maintenance, trouble shoot when things go wrong, basically be on call (because they only employ one tech for the Denver, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City region) 24/7 it wears you down. Bottom line, they don't have a clue how to run a theatre complex. So I left when we butted heads about some SDDS coments I made here on Film-Tech and work mainly as a Large Format projectionist, but I work at a local theatre on thursday nights as well (not AMC).
