Author Topic: Possibly back in projection! Anyone hear of Cobb Theatres? Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-12-2007 08:40 PM                     Well, through a long series of events, I have lost my apt...and my previous job. I now am living with some family to get back on my feet. I spoke with the assistant manager at the local Cobb Theatre down here and they apparently are desperate for a projectionist. The machines are Strong's with Strong platters. Shouldn't be too difficult for me to learn the thread pattern as I used strong platters at the drive in. I am to go speak with the GM tomorrow and turn in my application then. I will be sure to keep you all posted. I am getting excited as ever since I left the booth, I have been itching to come back! It's a totally different way of life...and I like it!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2007 09:02 PM                        Cobb Theatres website  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-12-2007 11:00 PM                        Good luck, make them know you *want* that job.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-13-2007 02:04 AM                     Man, I'll say (yes, heard of Cobb Theatres...) - never saw a company like this offering rare and actual experienced projectionist positions so much. Kinda wonder what the payscale and requirements are for such. If I were Richard, I'd go after that 19 plex in Miami as a projectionist-being the money would be the best in that location. But if re-location doesn't allow such a move, then, I'd get my big fat foot in the door somehow, start at the bottom and stay there and make a big go at it since they have an excellent benefit package for their employees who shows real interest in this company. (Hint...hint). Good luck as always, Richard...and keep outta trouble and keep the nose clean as possible. (..and for hell's sake: don't let them know anything about your 'Greco Factor" .. ) -Monte  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 01-13-2007 04:09 AM                        Cobb was supposed to open up a cinema near here. In Pooler, Ga. I think. I was, like ours, being built in a shopping center. In fact, it was to be the "Anchor" for the center. But somehow it got delayed for some time now, and I am unsure of it's status. Last I heard, the developer ran out of money, demanded more from Cobb, and Cobb was like "F-this, that's not what we agreed on" But I had also heard construction has since resumed. Who knows?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-13-2007 04:57 AM                  Richard: I'm sad to hear about your bad luck...losing your apartment and last job. I've followed your posts over the last 3+ years and I have to say you certainly have "grown-up" and matured in those years and gripped life by the balls. I sincerely wish you good luck in all your endeavors. You are a cool guy!  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-13-2007 09:24 AM                       Richard, you have email.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-15-2007 10:26 AM                        In regards to Mr. Greenlee's post: The theatre that Cobb is building in (or near) Savannah, Ga has been slated for for summer 2007 opening - for at least 2 years now. So - if the theatre doesn't open this summer - then it will be considered a delay. Richard - e-mail me about Cobb Theatres. I can help you out there.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-15-2007 11:08 AM                     What happened to truck driving school?  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-16-2007 12:38 PM                     Mike, There have been recent events that went down that caused me to delay the truck driving for a while. I have had to move back home temporarily, and reestablish my life first. I received your e-mail Tim, I will respond to it tonight. If I can get in the booth immediately, which apparently I would be, I can deal with a 40hr work week there.  |  IP: Logged Vaughn Hamrick Film Handler Posts: 21 From: Jacksonville , Florida USA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 01-17-2007 08:45 AM                     My friend,Troy Powell worked as engineer/projectionist for Cobb for several years.Had a pretty sweet gig.Traveled up and down from central Florida to south Georgia.About 10 years ago he went up to Detroit to work union and further his education.I posted on here about him as I've lost touch with him.

I pity anyone that even has to drive through there .
