I used to work at a small theatre. Changing those platters and splicing that film was a normal part of the job. The way this is marketed indeed makes me feel ancient. Only in my thirties.

The sentence seen in a old movie theater made me feel like I need a walker

I too used to be a projectionist. I still have several unused trailers like Constantine, war of the worlds, into the blue...

Same. That is an ‘old movie theatre’ thing, and Toy Story is history?

Well, I mean, toy story is history. It was the first full length computer animated movie. But I wouldn’t consider a movie theater from 1995 to be old…

It likely wasn't built in 1995

I used to work as a projectionist too! Miss splicing reels together and previewing the movies the night before! Private showings haha…. Did you know you can actually develop those reels and have enlarged pics of them? Not sure how but a fellow projectionist used to do it with trailers! Man I feel old. That was a good twenty+ years ago

Was just having a conversation with someone that worked in a movie theater. They had a "private screening" of Return of the Jedi for friends and family....as hundreds of people were waiting in line overnight. They could hear it through the walls and almost caused a riot 🤣
