Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
the theatre two blocks away was showing three prints on four screens.
So...how does this work? Do they have a mirror to split the projection of one of the prints so that two screens can show it at once? And is one of the viewings thus completely flipped left/rightways??
Or else I am imagining an hilarious caucus of the poor employees, finishing the reel on one screen, rewinding it, running down the hall to the next screen, and starting it up, just in time to do the same thing for the next reel that finishes. Like musical chairs!

Not Laga, but projectors have an add-on piggyback system, so that the film will run from one platter (the thing that holds the print), through the projector, over to the other projector, through it, and then onto that projector's platter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
what Ailleann said. And also you need two projectionists to say, "one, two, three!" And hit both start buttons at the same time. The potential for errors is high. It's called interlocking and we hates it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So really, the mirror thing might be better overall. Anyway, less stressful on the projectionists.
So what if the main credits are backwards! Nobody reads them anyway.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Except for the fact that it says WILL EISNER in the credits, I didn't see anything that would connect it to the source material.
