Author Topic: I see some of you on Facebook!!!! Betsie Beadling Expert Film Handler Posts: 178 From: Fairfax, Virginia, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 12-30-2008 08:14 PM                     That is so Cool that i found some fellow Film-Techers on there like Aaron and Brad and Jen Pan!!! I wonder if Joe Redifer and Phil Hill are on there???  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-30-2008 08:58 PM                       I never had much luck with Facebook.. it was very restrictive in who you could contact, I thought. Either that, or I just couldn't figure it out. Hit me up on my Myspace, though. Many FT-ers are on there.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 12-30-2008 09:35 PM                     Yeah FB is pretty cool. I like the people you may know box, some of the people you haven't seen for years end up there, Awesome. Also theres a few projection groups on there. Funny stuff.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-30-2008 10:12 PM                        I'm on Facebook but I hardly ever go there. I go to MySpace a little more often but still not all that often. I don't have time to keep up with real life, let alone social networking life!  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-30-2008 10:28 PM                     quote: I don't have time to keep up with real life, let alone social networking life! Same here. I closed my myspace page a while back because of this and all of the stupid spam I kept getting. I would get all kinds of half naked people trying to become my friends so they could advertise porn sites to me. I got fed up with maintaining it. A few months ago I started a Facebook page because many of my classmates from high school were on there and they are planning our fifteen year reunion for next summer so I wanted to be kept updated since I missed the last one. Now I get people sending me all these requests for hatchery and Christmas ornaments and stuff that I have no clue about. I only check it every few days and I ignore all of that stuff. All-in-all it is pretty cool. What projectionist groups are there?  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-31-2008 01:20 AM                     I'm in FB as well ...  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

I am not trying to offend my friends and family but I don't have time to keep up with all of that stuff.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-31-2008 10:22 AM                     Josh, yeah you can ignore it, and in fact I think on the preferences page, you can turn off notifications of that stuff.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 12-31-2008 12:54 PM                     There are a few projectionist groups, but i'm part of "Projectionists Do It In The Dark (for hours at a time)" The name sold it for me. Oh if anyone wants to add me I'm the loser holding up the two xanadu lp's  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-31-2008 02:08 PM                     quote: Damien Taylor Oh if anyone wants to add me I'm the loser holding up the two xanadu lp's ..and that was a good little movie with a great soundtrack and excllent sound presentation! Bit of history with "Xanadu" in this area of the country: Summer of 1980 in Salt Lake City. Theatre playing "Xanadu" is the famous VILLA Theatre - a grandeur Cinerama house which was converted to single eye 70mm shortly after the demise of Cinerama. Booth contained Century JJ's and Ashcraft lamphouse. First theatre in this city to install Dolby Stereo. The Villa opened up "Xanadu" and the movie was a big hit ... NOT due to the film since it really was a bomb - dropping like flies in major venues, yet the Villa was experiencing sellout crowds and the number were climbing every day. Universal call up MANN Theatres who owned the Villa and asked 'what the flip is going on there. we're dying everywhere else. What is your MAGIC?" ....it was the sound that sold the movie. That was the MAGIC in this MOVIE that attracted the crowds. I've heard Dolby Stereo presentations before - the First "Star Trek" I saw at the old Century 21 domes down there in SLC which was horrible (optics needed cleaning in as well as the film - sound was scratchy and so dull - let along the scope tabs were not opened...) that previous year. But, this experience with "Xanadu" at the Villa was an experience that I'll never forget. ..it was also real sad to see the Pan Pacific Auditorium burn down in 1983 - where some of "Xanadu" was shot at.. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-31-2008 02:48 PM                        I've tried Facebook twice, hated it with a passion both times. What is with these "ornaments" or other graphical icons people send you? Are the recipients supposed to somehow appreciate that? Only a woman could have thought this shit up.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-31-2008 02:59 PM                     quote: Joe Redifer Only a woman could have thought this shit up. I tend to agree, but I think FB is more targeted to teens and young adults who love this giddy stuff -along with those who want to stray away from MySpace since that has really gotten rather crazy and now with stricter rules.. Yet, it's really amazing that older people love FB for the simple fact of communicating with fam members who are far away from home....and just to say "hello."  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-31-2008 03:53 PM                        Someday, the future will invent something technically advanced which will permit us to all say "hello" to each other no matter the distance. I predict that this invention will be called "e-mail". It will be even easier to use than Facebook!  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 12-31-2008 04:14 PM                        Twitter is way cooler than e-mail, facebook and myspace combined! My twitter: Link quote: Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Why? Because even basic updates are meaningful to family members, friends, or colleagues—especially when they’re timely.  |  IP: Logged
