Posts: 1168 From: Corpus Christi, TX United States Registered: Jan 2004 posted 04-19-2004 01:00 PM                     What celebrity do yall think could be, or possibly have been a projectionist? Brad Pitt, played a projectionist in Fight Club, and he seems like he would be good at the job, but he was most likely just acting. I think Jeff Goldblum looks like he would make a good projectionist. I dont know what it is about him, he just has a certain look about him. Or maybe its the characters he has played. Who's youre pick?  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Keeping a show on screen at all costs and actively thinking during problematic times would be his most valuable traits in the booth- who wouldn't want him in their booth??  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-20-2004 03:14 AM                  Jeremy, I agee!

Well she would probably make a poor operator and even keep the best ones in the theatre from doing their job. But who wouldn't want her in your booth.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!
