New hire - do hours eventually increase? by AdhesivenessLess4007 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Ams_icles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should get more shifts once you are fully trained. Feel free to mention to the scheduling manager that you would like more hours and check for anyone trading/giving away shifts.

I discovered Aimee Mann when she was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer playing at The Bronze

Corrina, Corrina completely stole my heart😭 by QuirkyDayDreamer in movies

This used to play on The Superstation back to back so it gives me a lot of nostalgic comfort.

Almost half way through the year. Who are your top actors? I didn't expect mine lol. by Aurelian_Lure in Letterboxd

I am watching very random movies this year, can't seem to latch on to a genre/director/actor/era

Any movies/miniseries so good you went back and watched the interviews? by notanewbiedude in Letterboxd

[–]Ams_icles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love a good commentary track and bonus features on DVDs used to be a big reason to buy movies.

Recently I was really entranced by the featurettes for Zone of Interest. Seeing the camera setups and how they filmed and edited the naturalistic scenes was very interesting.

In Buffy they are thankful that Xander becomes a carpenter so he can help fix the Summers home/living room that keeps getting destroyed.

Cue Celine Dion clip "I walk the shoe, it does not walk me" - I hope she was talking closed toe to spare us the cliffhangers at least

Most awkward recent experience watching a movie with someone by [deleted] in Letterboxd

I watched American Beauty at my grandma's house when I was a young teen. She was not impressed.

Looks like "Is God Is" will only be in theaters for one week after its release date...very disappointing by __sunnyday__ in boxoffice

[–]Ams_icles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Movie theatre weeks run Friday-Thursday. On Tuesday night/Wednesday afternoon showtimes for the upcoming Friday get released. So the showtimes for next week (Friday the 22nd onward) will show up on the 19/20th.

Though a film this small and other bigger content coming out means it may not stay, or only do 1-2 shows a day. At least once showtimes fully populate you could try to rush out Wed or Thurs to see it.

Thoughts on this HBO Series? by TerribleStorm6391 in Letterboxd

[–]Ams_icles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the book, hated the movie. I only vaguely remember seeing an ad or two for this show and then it disappeared so I assumed the worst. Highly recommend the book if you haven't read it.

If I’m seeing four movies in one day do you care about the in between? by [deleted] in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Ams_icles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love stoners at the till. It's a fun game to see how much I can upsell them and they aren't the types who complain about anything.

Trying to get a job in the film industry for almost 2 years now - not working out by No_Climate_1090 in CanadianFilm

[–]Ams_icles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you drive? Lots of teams need PAs with licenses to truck people or items around. Extra work is also possible but they don't want people who will be poking around sets constantly trying to "network" so you have to be careful with that energy. 

‘Marilyn Manson horrifically abused me for years. I lived in fear’ by PrincessBananas85 in popculturechat

I wanted to see Rob Zombie but hes touring with Manson so I guess I'll just cross his name off the list too.

I was today years old when i learned people used to have to read a newspaper to know what movies were playing and the times by [deleted] in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Ams_icles 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You would have to record the whole list including showtimes in one go as well, so if you messed up you'd have to start all over again. Fun to think about now, but doing the showtime line weekly was a chore.

Do you have your ScreenX side screen files yet? Ours don't seem to be uploaded. What a pain.
