To do this evening/ was completed: Busy night for the bar. Lots of folks out for Odyssey and Spiderman.  Both 35mm shows of the Odyssey went great! Just FYI - I noticed there was new tape on the port glass and a different scope masking cue in the playlists. Please use the film masking cue for scope. This properly opens the screen up. I adjusted the tape and the cue for it before the shows went off.  Projector and platter in T4 are ready for tomorrow.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Took two headsets out for T3 final round tonight. Back in their charging ports.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Inspected all 6 reels of Crash, which is in good condition. I love this movie and am very glad to see it grace our booth again. Reels are now on their shipping reels tails out so that they're ready to get onto house reels when ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Set up all Spoons equipment this morning. Show went smoothly. Broke everything down afterward, mics/lightboard/stands back in booths. Inspected all of Fargo. On house reels, good condition. Stills up on Drive. Presentation Issues: Noticed about 9 minutes into T4 round two feature (Odyssey) that the Christie had become "unreachable" via IMS/LMS. Went to look at the picture and it was window-boxed, the scope lens cue failed. Switched over to scope immediately. Christie controls are/were still working normally, but some type of disconnect happened. IMB status was/is green, as is everything else on the Christie front page.

To do this evening/ was completed: Alec n I got the matinee 35mm of the Odyssey up and running and handed out a VI device for a lady in seat 403. We've done this for a show before and just try to match it up as best we can. Please snag this after the show! Thank you! Print continues to look great.  Presentation Issues: No issues.  Preshow Clips/Playlist:  I brought the volume up for One Night Only (just not for the babies playlist(!), which I also made and scheduled for Tuesday).  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Wild Inside is all set for this evening's screening, intro, Q&A...and Alec made adjustments to the lamp in T2.

To do this evening/ was completed: Caught up on blogs from the past week. John Carter intro went smoothly. Mic back in the booth. Only looked at one additional reel of First Strike. It's back on its shipping reel for now. Inspection report updated. Tony Feature ingested to LMS. Odyssey print went smoothly. Cleaned projector/platter between shows and after last show. Not sure if this has been mentioned but I think we should try to frequently sweep the steps right next to the platter to limit the amount of debris we could potentially kick in the direction of the print. I shined a light on the steps and there's a good amount of dirt/debris.
