@Huh17840840 @rubylovesalysa @Oh_Poppycock @chazzleazzle Tomi, no one cares about your gross opinion about your own grooming.

@rubylovesalysa @Oh_Poppycock @chazzleazzle So what if they’re dating? With her consent and her parents being okay with it why is it anyone’s problem? Epstein is a pedophile not a guy who has a gf and consented to a relationship both of them are just as guilty along with her parents that’s lack of parenting if you ask me

what the hell is this supposed to mean

@juggalochef2399 Thank you, it’s everyone’s drive-in 🥲 We love it when people have a good time with the movies.

@trashcelluloid LOVE your Drive-In 💜💜💜

Sorry, I’m crying, I work at the Mahoning, a big reason why I’ve missed so many episodes of The Last Drive-In when they are live 😭😭 Glad I tuned in tonight #thelastdrivein

@Shudder My dudes, people pay for your service, why do you have a watermark ON THE MOVIE, that’s heinous.

What do you think, #MutantFam? Agree? Disagree? #TheLastDriveIn

When I first began watching #thelastsdrivein alone at home during the pandemic, I never imagined I’d be working as a film projectionist at my favorite drive-in 4 years later. Running film under the stars, there’s nothing else like it. 🎞️ ✨ I owe so much to drive-in culture. ❤️

Shall I return to Twitter for one last night at #thelastdrivein?

@geoffwilt @ryanhasbadtaste I don’t know it but I don’t have much podcast familiarity. I looked it up though and bookmarked the episode so thank you! Our theater also had a podcast, Mahoning Drive-In Radio. A couple episodes focus on projection (the most recent episode is me talking about my first year).

@trashcelluloid @ryanhasbadtaste just checked out your website. I think I’ve heard of you guys before - possibly on an episode of Important Cinema Club, you know that podcast? I think they made a pilgrimage there.

how does one learn to become a projectionist? feels like a noble profession.

@geoffwilt @ryanhasbadtaste If you ever make a road trip out to the Mahoning Drive-In in PA, stop by the projection booth, we are pretty open-door until it nears showtime and are happy to answer questions.

@trashcelluloid @ryanhasbadtaste thanks so much for taking time for the thoughtful replies. I live in the same neighborhood as the AFI Silver and there are a handful of indie theaters around too, I’m not under any illusions it can pay the bills but I’d love to just learn how to do it,get involved with screenings

@ryanhasbadtaste @geoffwilt The truth is, believe it or not, there are not enough film projectionists, especially outside of major cities. So follow your heart and passion and hopefully you’ll make a connection somewhere that mutually works out.

@ryanhasbadtaste @geoffwilt All in all I’ve projected/co-projected 118 films in my short rookie tenure and still have a LOT to learn. And it’s frustrating that there are very limited opportunities (if any) for learning programs. So I network and learn everything I can from other projectionists.

@tnyfrontrow You basically hit every point of contention I also had with this movie.

The Brutalist has interesting ideas that remain undeveloped; fascinating characters, mostly undefined; it's a film about a distinctive aesthetic but itself has one of little distinction. Its big subjects place great demands that it doesn't meet: newyorker.com/culture/the-fr…

@BrianDuffield @WillTheLandMan Would riot if a theater showed me a trailer for the movie I’m about to see before the movie.

@WillTheLandMan I don’t know why the thirty minutes before trailers start aren’t full of instagrammable content promoting the movie they’re about to see. So easy to fix!

Alright, I think I’ve cracked the code on this posting the movie theater screen thing. I’ve got a solution I’ll pitch below. I think it’s the closest thing to a compromise while still keeping theaters a safe space from cell phones. In Asian cinema markets, they have exclusive movie theater tickets. A flashy, almost movie premiere level ticket. What if we did that in the US? But we add a QR code to the back of it that links at random to some stills from the film you are about to see. That way you get your own special randomized social media post without actually taking a photo of the screen & disturbing others around you. The QR code could even link to photo filters or exclusive content, idk. Just feels like we gotta solve this shit.

@MatthewBBryant @janusfilms I complain. Every time. I consider it duty.

Film projectionists

@sapphicspielbrg We all need Directed By This Jane Schoenbrun shirts now.

I JUST GOT A FEVER AND LAID DOWN ON THE GROUND AND STARTED PANTING 😮‍💨

@Grimezsz Just tell him you have a 35mm print of Blood Circus and you don’t know what to do with it.

Does anyone know any way I can contact Quentin Tarantino? I have for many years tried every other route to contact him, and it's likely that he simply doesn't wish to speak to me, but as a last ditch attempt - I am throwing this out into the universe 🙏🏻
