I’m beginning my weekly duties as a volunteer projectionist at the Morris theater, which I will try to do once a week. It was not a great experience — it involves a lot of standing and some walking around, and my knee is not quite ready for it. After two hours, I was getting some unpleasant spasms, and was seriously concerned that it might buckle under me, so I had to go home early (no worries, there were 3 of us training or in training.)
It’s all good exercise, though, so maybe in another week or two I’ll be a bit more robust. I think next time I’ll wear a knee brace.
This is the time to come to Morris to watch Masters of the Universe or Mortal Kombat under my supervision. Sorry, we don’t have something better. We do have Disclosure Day starting this weekend, and we have Kung Fu Panda as a free matinee. We also have the classic Jurassic Park on the 22nd, as part of a special deal with the Met Lounge if you think you’ll need beer to survive it.
I’ve actually heard that Master’s of the Universe is pretty good, certainly better than you may expect based around the fact it is a movie based on a show based on a toy line :P .
As for Mortal Kombat, I like Karl Urban well enough and the character he plays may be entertaining, but I am not enough of a fan of the games to have liked the first movie (or even the cheesier 90’s film), so, yeah, sorry you have to suffer that one?
Get yourself one of those walking stick / shooting stools.
Please let us know about “Disclosure Day”. I read the plot description on the-pfft-of-all-knowledge and I think I’d rather watch paint dry.
Every job has perks.
A projectionist’s clearly includes ‘free’ viewing.
(Technically, one get paid to view movies, so there’s that)
[yeah, I know you are volunteering. Was perhaps too blithe and general]
