To do this evening/ was completed: Sam and Bruce double feature went smoothly. Both prints are packaged up with the exception of reel one of Die Hard, still need to remove Walter's trailer from it. Mics back in booth. Presentation Issues: T3 server went down right as as the T1 intro was about to start.

To do this evening/ was completed: Posting now since we had some funky stuff with T3. See Presentation notes below. L Removal of the Eye/Monk in Pieces playlists scheduled and DCPs transferring to T3 for tech tomorrow. - L fyi - Please see additional notes section.  Presentation Issues: Glad I stuck around later since, right before the 35mm shows, we got walkied for T3 as the server went down right when the feature (Send Help, second round) started. I power-cycled, resat cables, and we were fine from there on out. Once the show was over, I pulled logs from the projector and a report from the server for DMS. We're stable in third round now. - LH Preshow Clips/Playlist: Kat sent updated forecasts for 2/6. I updated all first run and special event playlists for that week. - LH Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran loops and reel 1 of Die Hard with a Vengeance  and Unbreakable with Lillian this morning in preparation for the double feature tonight.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Incredible Shrinking Man screening went smoothly. The hosts used a laptop for the pre-show and held a raffle inside the auditorium after the film. I set up for the Trees Lounge post-screening festivities in advance and got both hosts situated as the crowd exited the theater.  All gear used was placed back in its proper storage and the projectors were cleaned/exhausts closed. Flat lenses have been swapped for scope for tomorrow's double feature so these will need to be refocused. We are receiving a red band  Pulp Fiction  trailer tomorrow morning (presumably flat) that loops will also need to be run for. 9 to 5 concluded its brunch run in theater 2 this morning and the feature content was removed from the server following the show Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/vid...

To do this evening/ was completed: No issues this evening in any screening room. Finished employee training module.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Remember - tomorrow morning will require a laptop setup, which Alec mostly setup this morning, so it should be squared away, just need to plug them in. There is no playlist for this, just the laptop presentation and the print! Please refer to the memo.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): This evening, Matthew dropped off both Die Hard and Unbreakable . Outgoing/Shipping (content): A Few Good Men has not been picked up yet despite scheduling a pickup with Sony earlier this week. Sent a message to those folks in our thread. There's a chance they had a driver go to WB instead. We'll see.  Print/video Inspection: Inspected all of Unbreakable and the first four reels of Die Hard , so it's more than halfway done and can get finished...

To do this evening/ was completed: Remember to write the volume down when teching prints, Train Dreams had no volume noted anywhere I could find. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The 9 to 5 playlist for this weekend had all the drag show content from Thursday in it. A new playlist was made (it was dated 013126), so I guess it was just copied and not changed. Got a call that the movie hadn't started and saw the intro slide was paused on screen. Skipped ahead to the Dolly Parton video intro and let it play from there. I made a new playlist for tomorrow. -Because of this, timing on the cue sheet was about 20 minutes off. I let MODs know and fixed it for tomorrow. I set up the wireless mic receivers and the mixer in T1 for the Deuce show tomorrow. The HDMI connection is ready as well, you'll just need to switch some stuff on for them. I put the 1.85 lenses and plates in the T1 projectors after Train Dreams . Make sure to run ...
