Author Topic: Metroid Prime Rolling Stock Joseph D. Olson Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-12-2003 04:35 AM                        I'm a child of the eighties, and thus, a Nintendo nerd. The second I heard there would be a cinematic trailer for one of my favorite games, I was anxious to get my hands on it but later found out it only went to AMC theatres. Any ideas for getting my hands on a copy?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-12-2003 06:45 AM                        Move to Yak?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

The game has been out for over a month now and it is not cool to like it anymore as it is "old hat". The only game it is cool to like is the upcoming Zelda. But I say "Screw that!" and only look forward to Sega's F-Zero. Of course, videogames haven't been that great since the days of the Genesis and SNES.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

When I worked at a theatre that was running Playstation 2 ads I joked I was gonna put the Intellivision trailer in their place  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-12-2003 02:25 PM                        quote: Ah yes, the infamous unlocked booth door. "Invitation to video and picture booth tours on Film-Tech!" Unlocked booth doors are also an invitation to print theft and piracy. Not to mention theft and/or damage to the tools and equipment.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

The local fire inspector actually asked about that when I reopened our indoor. I sent him off to Kodak's site.

I can fix the sound, focus and framing problems myself instead of trying to find someone who can call the someone whose job that is - the person who is usually busy about a mile from my cinema starting 5 other shows. I generally only go to AMC and only the 4 bigger screens - they have individual or twin booths and an upper exit from the auditorium right beside the booth doors The only time I find them locked is on service calls when I have a ton of gear that I don't want to leave alone and I have to trek around looking for a manager. Partly I like AMC because the lobby area is peaceful. The other chains around here go from somewhat annoyingly loud and busy lobbies to mindwarpingly annoying arcade/disco lobby areas. Otherwise I stick to the rep houses where there is a real operator doing changeovers and (hopefully) checking the picture occasionally.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-13-2003 08:02 AM                        Jack Ondracek wrote: quote: Yes... so they can quickly get to all that nitrate stock we still keep in our booths.
