Presentation Issues: Th 5 loaded the wrong playlist for the first round. BEACH BUM was scheduled for 10:30am, but somehow US was loaded instead. I have no idea how this happened, but I rectified it quickly once I was alerted to the problem. Any one else encounter an issue like this before? I'm hoping it was a fluke. Preshow Clips/Playlist: Cleared out a bunch of old A1 playlists and old features from the TMS Trailer Updates: none until 4/2 Special Events/ AV set up: Set up for the Q&A in Th 6 this morning.

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: scheduled Dumbo shows for Monday — Thursday Trailer Updates: The bar advertisement is built into the all ages trailer pack currently.

Presentation Issues: Pulp Fiction froze probably about 30 seconds before the credits. It seemed that this file caused the server to freeze (I doubt it's a problem with the server itself because everything else has played without issue). The server started responding again after a little bit without me having to restart it, but by this point everyone was already leaving the theater (understandably not pleased). I did notice the server act funky when I loaded this file to QC earlier today, however I did not have time to watch the whole thing before we opened so I did not see any presentation issues. This was very unfortunate because if this file had been completely QC'd, we would have caught that the server had issues playing it. We even had a backup DCP (which was made by accident but sure would've come in handy!) that could have been used instead. I understand that sometimes there is simply not enough time to check everything all the way through but it's crucial, when w...

Presentation Issues: None Preshow Clips/Playlist: build the A1 playlist for The Beach Bum, began scheduling it ** scheduled all shows from Friday — Thursday (minus Dumbo) where possible (CatVideoFest can't be scheduled because Captain Marvel cuts into its turn-around time, so I sent the feature file out to server 2) *** sent Dog Day Afternoon to server 2 as well Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): we received (another) poster for The Aftermath. The tube is down in booth 3/7. Ordering/Receiving (content): still waiting on Dumbo Outgoing/Shipping (content): I carried the rest of the outgoing DCPs over to the UPS drop Print/video Inspection: I did a QC of Pulp Fiction in theater 3 after the keys opened at midnight. Watched about 30 minutes of it — looks and sounds great, though there are some slight dialogue sync issues in the long hallway scene that seem to be just part of how the movie is mixed. No major proble...
