Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: checked all first run & specialty playlists for the week, everything seems to be good ** scheduled shows for Thursday 9/5. Note that It Chapter 2 seems to be 5 minutes longer than what we have scheduled (this makes for some tight turn arounds). *** left the Freaks And Geeks feature to send out to projector 1 for this week's event (playlist still needs to be built — waiting on preshow content, see below) Trailer Updates: checked the new Trailmix for the new Star Wars trailer — it was not on there Special Events/ AV set up: dual staff screenings of Dirty Dancing and Brittany. All good. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Matthew found a whole bunch of brand new Midsommar posters. Most of them went back to 155, but I kept one for possible use now that we're running the film again. (It's the 'misc' portion of the poster box) Ordering/Receiving (content): downloaded the SE_1999 preshow from EV...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built SE_DirtyDancing for this weekend and updated all of the playlists with the latest September trailer. Trailer Updates: All trailer packs are updated for the week, However, the It: Chapter Two  trailer needs to be switched for Ad Astra  between Wednesday and Thursday. Special Events/ AV set up: No events tonight. White board in 4/6 is updated with upcoming events/first-run. September looks like a busy month! Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): We received new posters for Once Upon a Time In Hollywood  (not sure why) and 20 posters for Midsommar  (even less sure why). Both are still in 3/7. I reached out to John Woods re: the Midsommar  posters since they were addressed to him, but he's not sure why we go them either. Ordering/Receiving (content): We received DCPs for Dirty Dancing  and It: Chapter Two . I ingested Dirty Dancing  earlier and It  is ingesting right now. Out...

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): n/a Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested It Chapter 2 and Midsommar  preshows to the TMS. Gundam F91  is also on there for September 10th. Outgoing/Shipping (content): n/a Print/video Inspection: n/a Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Checked. Maintenance/cleaning: Cleared out booth 3/7, put some posters in tubes for archives, threw out a bunch of old junk/cardboard/etc. Set up a little dry-erase poster-holder organizer thingy on the wall in there so it's easy to see what poster is in what slot. I hope it helps but feel free to abandon it if it's not. * In my quest to locate an ampersand for the marquee, I discovered a big stash of old letters under the cabinet behind the lightbulbs. They're mostly twice as big as our normal letters and really dirty, but there were a few salvage...

Presentation Issues: The CP750 in Theater 3 was set to ProLogic II again instead of Dolby 7.1, which caused the feature ( Bernadette ) to play with inaudible dialogue. I have no idea how or why it was changed to this setting, but Michael was able to quickly remote in and change it back. The feature started about 10 minutes late, but otherwise there were no issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: I started building all the new A1 playlists for this week. Just waiting on the new September trailer and then they'll be finished. Trailer Updates: Trailer for  Ad Astra is ingested and ready to replace It: Chapter Two next Thursday. Special Events/ AV set up: Blow-Up  is playing in Th 1 at 730PM. I set the volume to 6.5 during QC yesterday, but the dialogue is pretty low in the mix. Please keep an eye on it and adjust if necessary. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): A poster arrived for The Current War . I left it in 3/7 for now. Ordering/Receiving (content): Just receiv...

Presentation Issues: None. A few manual starts but otherwise a fairly uneventful night. Preshow Clips/Playlist: TMS went into a kind of trance around 10:30 where it seemed to think that all of the projectors (and the scheduler ... and the playlist builder ...) were offline. None of the projectors were actually off and no shows were affected. I do not know why this would have happened. (see my e-mail) .... however towards the end of the night I rebooted the computer in the rack and everything seems to be working normally again. ** deleted Midsommar from projectors 4 and 5 towards the end of the night ... before realizing that we are bringing back Midsommar on Friday. My mistake, apologies. This will need to be sent back out before Friday. *** left the Midsommar preshow to download from EVO to our portable drive overnight — if it goes through, it should be good to ingest to TMS tomorrow morning Trailer Updates: Grabbed the Ad Astra trailer from Trailmix, sent it to all project...

Presentation Issues: No issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: QC'd Tigers Are Not Afraid  in Theater 3. It looks great. The volume at 5.5 seemed a little loud, so I dropped it down to 5.0 and modified the cue in the playlist.

Presentation Issues: None. I did get a couple complaints that the short preceding Blinded By The Light  was a bit too loud, so I lowered it from 4.5 to 4.2 in the playlist. Preshow Clips/Playlist: I cleared out a bit of old content/playlists from the last couple of weeks. I also added the credit offset cue to Tigers Are Not Afraid .

Marquee updated?: No updates Posters update...

Presentation Issues: I got a call that Blinded by the Light in Th7 had paused in the middle of the movie. TMS said it was still playing normally, and the movie resumed play on its own immediately after I was called. I'm not sure what could have caused this to happen, but at the end of the round I rebooted the Th7 server. The issue did not recur after that. Preshow Clips/Playlist: I modified and re-scheduled the  Blow-Up  playlist - the one I made yesterday ran about 5 minutes over. All the content has been sent to the Theater 1 server.

Presentation Issues: None. Pretty much a straightforward day. Preshow Clips/Playlist: scheduled Blow-Up for Wednesday Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: A Boy Named Charlie Brown brunch. Automated DCP show, no intro. Everything looked & sounded great. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): received and ingested KDM for Blow-Up. Show is now good to go for Wednesday. The keys open on Tuesday — we can inspect it then. ** still waiting on keys for Tigers Are Not Afraid. If we don't receive them by end of day, let's send an e-mail following up. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Put Charlie Brown on screen this morning to get the end credit offset and check the volume. Added the lights-up cue into the playlist.

Marquee updated?: Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Yes. Projectors off for the night?: Yes. Projection cart by TH5?: Yes. Nest: Additional Notes: VHS Vault stopped working in the middle of the evening - it seemed like there was a signal malfunction. If it's not back up tomorrow I will keep playing around with this.

Presentation Issues: No issues. A few of our projectors are nearly at storage capacity (projector 2 was at 100% when I came in). Is it possible to delete a couple first run features from these servers to keep things running smoothly? (especially projector 3, which has a special event this week) Preshow Clips/Playlist: changed Once Upon A Time from 35mm to DCP shows in the scheduler for the whole week (through Thursday), to account for our continuing circuit breaker troubles ** built and scheduled playlist for Tigers Are Not Afraid. We still need to grab the end credits offset. *** deleted Hobbs & Shaw from our projectors **** I did not realize that Angel Has Fallen has the generic action preshow assigned until after the first round began (playlist was built with generic horror). I made an 'Updated' playlist to fix this, and scheduled that through the week. Apologies for not catching this earlier in the day. Trailer Updates: added the Adult trailer pack to Angel ...

Presentation Issues: The 9:45  Lion King  was canceled because rain was leaking into Theater 5 behind the screen. The movie hadn't sold any tickets. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: QC'd Angel Has Fallen in Theater 3. Added credit times/volume info to the doc. Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Added info for Angel Has Fallen and A Boy Named Charlie Brown . Maintenance/cleaning: The table lights are not working in Theater 3. They were flickering during the first round so Dylan turned them off, and they wouldn't turn back on after that. After about an hour, one row started flickering again, so I just kept them off for the night. Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Checked through the weekend. Marquee updated?: Unfortunately I didn't get to put up Angel Has Fallen because of th...

Presentation Issues: The first showing of Lion King  today in Th 2 had to be restarted after playing for about 10 minutes. The CP750 was set to the incorrect setting, which caused the dialogue to be inaudible. Apparently this was done earlier in the day for a test, however I did not know how to fix it. I called Michael Lawless, who I believe fixed the problem remotely. Preshow Clips/Playlist: All A1 playlists have been updated and scheduled. I also built SE_BoyNamedCharlieB for this Saturday. Still waiting on Blow-Up to arrive before I can build and schedule that playlist. Trailer Updates: All packs are updated according to the latest trailer assignments Special Events/ AV set up: No events Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): None Ordering/Receiving (content): I ingested our DCP of the Freaks & Geeks documentary.

Presentation Issues: The circuit breaker tripped during the first showing of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood  on 35mm and again (twice actually) towards the end of the second screening. In both cases, I had the show back up and running within a few minutes. I also had the Christie lamp turned off, as well as all of the lights in the booth. After the show went down for the second time during the last screening, I turned the Christie off entirely. I can't think of much else I can do to prevent this from happening again. I think we need to have an electrician take a look and see if they can get to the bottom of this. Also: for some unknown reason, there was no picture on screen during the first round preshow in Th 1. I just ejected and restarted the playlist and there were no other issues with that screening of Angry Birds 2 . Preshow Clips/Playlist: I updated all of our A1 playlists for next week. I will schedule them tomorrow during my admin time. Trailer Updates: I updated th...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: I cleared out a lot of old content (old trailers, features, etc.) but I'm still waiting on trailer assignments before I can make the new playlists. I did however download some new slides and a new generic action preshow from Dropbox. Trailer Updates: No updates Special Events/ AV set up: Just a simple set up for trivia. Packed as usual! The National  also went well. No issues with the playlist. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Our posters for Ready Or Not  arrived.

Presentation Issues: The lights turned on briefly near the end of Where'd You Go Bernadette in Theater 3. I don't know what could have triggered this, but I turned them off immediately. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Burning in Theater 2. It went very well. I walked through a couple times to double check volume. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: QC'd A Boy Named Charlie Brown  and Ready or Not , and added credits/volume info to the asset tracking doc.

Presentation Issues: None so far. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Finished the playlist for the National private event tomorrow and scheduled it. -Built and scheduled the Ready or Not playlist. I set the volume to 5.5 and used the credit offset that came with the drive, but these will have to be confirmed once we have keys for this feature. Trailer Updates: Made a new adult trailer pack (labelled 082119) for when Ready or Not opens. The trailer for that feature is replaced with The Goldfinch in this new pack. I also made an updated Hollywood playlist with this trailer pack, which is also labelled 082119, and scheduled it for Wednesday and Thursday. Special Events/ AV set up: None. The Burning for Reasonable Midnite in T2 at 9:30 tonight, which should be very straightforward. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordered posters for Angel Has Fallen.  Ready or Not and   The Goldfinch posters should be arriving soon, too. Ordering/Receiving (content): Placed an...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Noticed when I got in that we didn't have an All Ages playlist for Angry Birds made, which was an all ages show in the first round today. I made a playlist with a lower volume cue for the feature and loaded/scheduled it for today's showtime. Trailer Updates: Mascha told me that the preshow lights in Theater 7 (screening of Bernadette ) were still on at showtime. Looking at the playlist this was because of the short film which takes the place of trailers, so trailers are included in the preshow. It seems like that caused some awkward timing, and lights down cue is 30 minutes, 38 seconds into the playlist so that's why they were still on at 4:30. Special Events/ AV set up: Woodstock 35mm screening in theater 1. No issues with presentation, but the take-up belts on both projectors broke in the middle of a reel. I was able to fix them without interrupting the show, and after fixing each of them one time they held togethe...

Presentation Issues: None! A relatively straightforward night. Preshow Clips/Playlist: theater 3's server is filled up to max with all of our first run features right now. I deleted Hobbs & Shaw from that server to help with this, assuming it is unlikely for it to jump back to theater 3. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Hollywood 35mm x 2. Everything ran great — though, which film cues get triggered continues to be a little unpredictable. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Checked Maintenance/cleaning: Alec walked me through the procedure for switching from the platter to changeover 35mm in booth 1. Seems pretty straightforward, but I am planning to come in a bit early Sunday morning to run a couple reels and get more of a sense of the system, since I haven't run a public changeover show here before. Looking forward...

Presentation Issues: None so far. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Kris came in to watch the NSF shorts this morning. He mentioned that the in house trailers were running a bit loud, so I lowered the volume cue for them slightly in all playlists. -Built a tentative playlist for the National Live event, still awaiting trailer assignments so it's not scheduled yet. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): None Ordering/Receiving (content): None Outgoing/Shipping (content): Yesterday  and Spider-Man drives can be returned. Didn't get a chance to walk them over today before we opened and I don't see myself getting one tomorrow either, so I'll take these back during my admin on Monday. Print/video Inspection: Tech of the 35mm Woodstock print in Theater 1 this morning. Ran through all 10 reels with John in the theater. It looks pretty great. Only issue is the whole film is either split screen or pillarboxed, so keyston...

Presentation Issues: None tonight. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Updated 35mm playlists of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for the new analog sound level. See "Maintenance/cleaning" for more info on that. Trailer Updates: Grabbed the Night of the Comet trailer from Dropbox and swapped out the Dirty Dancing trailer in Adult and Event trailer packs following Kris's email this morning. Special Events/ AV set up: Very Animated Sexy Night in Theater 3. This went pretty well except the microphone for the intro was very quiet. I had it cranked up to 10 on the Dolby and was adjusting the gain on the back of the processor with a tiny screwdriver but this didn't do much I'm afraid. When sound signal was showing on the Dolby it was only in the surround speakers, so I think there may be an issue with the connection to the main speakers from the mic input in T3. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): We received a trailer for Western Stars (Bruce Springsteen concert ...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: I updated all of the playlists for the coming week and scheduled them according to the film schedule/cue sheets.

Presentation Issues: SPOONS was a mess tonight. The negative show flip dramatically cut down on our set up time — and I realized too late that the DI box connection running from the stage to the booth was not set up exactly the way we were expecting it to be. However, I had never run a show through our DI box set up, and I admit that I did not know exactly what I was looking for/what could be wrong in case we had an image failure.        In any case, I struggled to get image & sound on screen for about twenty minutes while Dylan S tried to walk me through a fix over the phone. He ran down in an Uber while Gerard and I tried to find the cable that led from the screen. Ultimately, it was a big miscommunication — apparently there was a new HDMI extender added to the cabling behind the rack, which Dylan did not know had been added (and I did not know was a new addition), and the DI output box he was trying to describe to me had been tucked away behind a power stri...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: No playlist updates/changes yet. Waiting on film schedule and trailer assignments. Trailer Updates: No updates Special Events/ AV set up: I set up the PA/Mics, spotlights, and light-board for STB tonight. Please make sure everything goes back where it belongs after the event. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): None Ordering/Receiving (content): Our print of Woodstock  arrived. The elevator is currently broken, so I left it on the cart in 3/7 for now. Outgoing/Shipping (content): None Print/video Inspection: I QC'd Angry Birds 2  before the staff screening today. Everything looked fine. I set the volume at 5.5, but I think it could go louder. However, the animated short that it opens with is a tad louder than the feature. Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes.

Presentation Issues: Sound started cutting in and out about 30 minutes into the first Hollywood 35mm show. I misunderstood Dan and Dylan's instructions and opened the changeover on projector 2 before the show started by mistake, thinking the shutter on projector 1 should be closed before I started. I should have looked at Dan's note again to clarify, so I apologize. Dan also told me over the phone that it's normal for a print to have points where it switches to analog sound after it has been run for a while, which I didn't know and was why I thought the sound format switch was some kind of glitch with the sound processor. The 10pm show ran on the print without a problem. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Another note about platter shows-- for some reason the first cue isn't being read by the automation system anymore (it's is a redundant cue since we added all the lights down cues to the digital playlist), but you can pr...

Presentation Issues: The the final 35mm showing of the day had to be switched to DCP. When the film started, I immediately noticed that there were issues with the sound cutting out. The CP500 was switching between Dolby digital and Dolby SR. I realized after a few minutes that the CP500 had somehow selected Projector 2 as its source by mistake. I hit the changeover close button on Projector 1, which fixed the issue. However, enough time had passed that customers had left the theater to complain and wanted the film restarted. After talking to the MODs, we decided that it was best to switch to the DCP so that we could restart the movie. There were no other issues with any screenings tonight.

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Removed Never Fear and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas trailers from this weeks Adult trailer pack (080219) and replaced with 2001 , Woodstock , and Blow Up Special Events/ AV set up: Cues from the console during 35mm shows no longer work after Billy disconnected some wires, so we need to bring lights up manually for the credits. Changeover to projector #2 after a few seconds of the rating tag so the tail doesn't appear on screen and isn't heard in the theater.

Presentation Issues: Apparently the fire alarm went off sometime before opening, so I had to run the fire alarm macro and then manually turn off the override in each theater before the cleaning lights would go down. No other issues. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built SE_NeverFear and sent it to T3 for tonight. Also built SE_VIMEO for next Thursday (still needs a full QC with Caryn).

Presentation Issues: When loading A1_Yesterday for the first round today in Theater 5, I got an error message that I've never seen before: "Could not load playlist: Marriage not active." After checking the KDM and restarting the IMS and TMS to no avail, I called Billy, who was luckily still in the building. He came down, logged into the backend of the IMS, and reconnected the "Marriage." When I asked him what could've caused this he said, "Gremlins." For future reference, both Billy and Jerry Kohut's numbers are in the notes app on the iMac in 4/6. Either can assist you in correcting this issue, as they have the account info required to get into the backend of the Christies. As for the show, it started about 30 minutes behind schedule. After discussing with the MODs, I skipped ahead until the playlist was just about 7 minutes behind, leaving enough time for the servers to greet the guests before the feature began. This resulted in a tighter f...

Presentation Issues: When I first came in, I turned on the breaker switch to the 35mm projector in theater 1 to start threading up the Hollywood print, which triggered the house lights to come on during The Lion King. This was due to my lack of familiarity with the start-up procedure for the 35mm machines, and I apologize. This was my first shift running public Hollywood shows, and I had never turned on the breaker switches myself (during a screening or otherwise) and did not fully understand the connection between the breaker and the cues. Regardless, I am sorry for disrupting the show, and will be more careful in the future. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: none tonight — waiting on new trailer assignments for Friday onwards Special Events/ AV set up: HOLLYWOOD 35mm screenings. Print ran great both times. That new bottom roller works like a charm. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): neither a poster or trailer, but we received a package from QSC (and a smal...

Presentation Issues: Dylan P. came in at about 5:15PM and turned on the 35mm projector in Booth 1, resulting in the optical failsafe triggering the house lights. I believe he turned them off immediately. This was the only issue during my shift. Please check your inbox and respond to my e-mail about this. Preshow Clips/Playlist: I deleted SE_WestSideStory and its contents from the multiplex. Trailer Updates: None until 8/7 Special Events/ AV set up: None Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): None Ordering/Receiving (content):  Wet Hot American Summer  arrived.

Presentation Issues: In the 6:25 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood showing, the projector suddenly shut off towards the end of the film. I switched the breaker off/on, which powered it up again, and the show resumed without issue. It only ended 5 minutes later than scheduled, but it was alarming, and I'm not sure why it happened. There were no issues with the following show. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content):  Looking For Mr. Goodbar  and  Bill & Ted should both be picked up tomorrow.

Presentation Issues: No major issues. Got a volume complaint for  Lion King in Theater 4, so I lowered the volume a bit.

Presentation Issues: None. Preshow Clips/Playlist: For the 35mm Hollywood playlist, lights still came up at start. I put another lights down cue in with all the projector cues and the lights did not come up at the start of the show. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Platter shows in 1. The new roller certainly turns freely unlike the last one however it's a bit rough, I think the upper edge is slightly bent so it causes the film to wobble a bit as it passes through. The film is secure in the roller and is not being damaged, so I say it's an improvement! I also taped all four sides of the image on the port glass, I think it looks much better but if someone wants to improve it, by all means! Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): None Ordering/Receiving (content): None Outgoing/Shipping (content): The  Goodbar  print is on the cart, hopefully it is picked up tomorrow. Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Up to date Maint...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built the playlist for BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS based on the trailer doc, scheduled it for Wednesday. The scheduled show lets out about 15 minutes earlier than what is on Matthew's schedule, so, if we want to pad it out more at the top, go for it. ** also updated all first run playlists re: Kris's trailer doc, as well as West Side Story *** Michael added some cues to the Hollywood 35mm playlist to help with the light situation during the beginning of that film (see his email). It's a big help. Thank you! Trailer Updates: added the new in-house trailers (Outdoors, STB August, and the updated Godzilla PSA) to all relevant playlists. Special Events/ AV set up: dual staff screenings: Hollywood 35mm in theater 1 and Hobbs & Shaw (again!) in theater 2. I mostly did this to get more practice with our 35mm set-up. The Hollywood print has acquired some hairline scratches — three noticeable ones in the center-le...

Studios send us promotional material all the time that we don't ask for, so just make sure we're not holding onto junk we don'...

Presentation Issues: The drive we received for YESTERDAY is busted. John Woods is getting Cinevizion to overnight us a new drive — hopefully it will be first thing in the morning, but keep an eye out tonight just in case they deliver it earlier than expected. Preshow Clips/Playlist: added lights up cues to Hobbs & Shaw. Also made a special playlist for the staff screenings today and tomorrow.
