Yeah, That one is on my all time top list. It goes right along with the sound track/DTS code run into the attached trailer tail. Me thinks the other studios would take a lesson from Warner Bros., and put 10 feet or so of black between the attached trailer and the head of the movie!By the way, I once had a pet named "Peeve". ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/wink.gif) ------------------ Scott

My number one pet peeve is managers interfering in the booth. Another pet peeve: I can't stand seeing operators thread by tossing the entire leader on the floor, and lacing the platter after the projector. I can't think of any more right now.

I hate it when someone cleans out the projector at the end of the night but leaves the brains filthy as hell.I hate when splices over an existing broken splice without peeling the tape off. I hate when they splice with shitty yellow marking tape and cover up the entire soundtrack with the colored part or even worse, right across the middle of the picture. I hate colored splicing tape.

hmm.... let's see.... Some of mine are:1. Technicolor Entertainment Service ANYTHING <aggh> 2. Staff that forgets your existance when they make a food run... 3. People that use the booth for a break room and leave all their food trash and other stuff ALL OVER the place.. 4. The *idiots* in Hollywood that think that trailers are *SUPPOSED* to be earsplittingly loud and features that you have to crank it up to 10 to be able to hear any dialogue (usually in the same program)... 5. Staff that puts any old sound format sign up on the mylar boxes above the auditorium doors ( I gave up on constantly correcting them ad infinitum)... 6. Patrons that think THEY know more about running a multiplex booth than you and get real attitudes about it... 7. Asshole Patrons (usually kids, but you'd be suprised how many ADULTS I have caught doing this) sticking their popcorn greasy hands against those port glasses that are within reach and smearing the grease all over them... 8. Piss-Poor theatre design with auditoria stacked above other auditoria with the resulting 'Sensurround' effects when a digital feature is playing in one of the lower houses... and having to deal with VERY upset upper-auditorium patrons afterwards 9. Operators that don't bother to run a film in the best possible format be it digital or analog... Many a DTS film I have seen running and the discs are sitting in the cans... of course i *immediately* correct this problem... 10. Polyestar film stock. Although Film-Guard promises to end the maladies presented by this new stock, the problem will still persist in many a theatre... Aaron
