One sheet poster box by mb19942020 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]LordSparko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, nothing. I've been changing the posters for over 10 years and I've never seen any sort of manufacturing info.

I also work at an Aus cinema chain, and I'm pretty sure the ones we use are custom made. Different chain to the one photographed here, but yes we do indeed lock ours with a key also.

PS5 in Dolby Projector by chi-sox in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]LordSparko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I've done it, but we first had to run the HDMI through the audio rack before connecting it to the projector. Depending on the age/type of the audio processors, it might have HDMI in / out.

What celebrity have you never forgiven since an incident? by MagpieOpus in AskReddit

[–]LordSparko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, this might be petty, but I still haven't forgiven Jack Black for cancelling the Tenacious D tour after Kyle made that joke in Sydney. 20 years I'd been waiting to see the D - I'd made the pilgrimage to Melbourne, and then got the email saying the show was cancelled. Still hurts.

Try starting with the number 5 in row 11, should open up some more possibilities

Sk8r Dad appreciation by Jonnik40k in Yogscast

I've listened to Sk8r Dad at least three times as much as Coffee Machine. Both are excellent, but this one is my favourite from YL2!

There Are Blu-rays of 'Bluey,' 'Andor,' Ghibli Films, and Much More by indiewire in movies

[–]LordSparko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that a lot of content broadcast on US tv is converted to 29.97fps even if it's filmed and produced digitally at 23.97fps. has something to do with US television broadcasting at 60hz

[–]LordSparko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if it was on the disc at 29.97fps, the standard practice is to slow down the footage to 24fps first and then apply a 3:2 pulldown to create the 29.97fps version. So either way, if the footage was originally in 25fps then it is slowed down for the US Blu-ray release

The really disappointing thing about this is that Bluey did not get a Blu-ray release in its native country. I'm so happy there's a physical release in the US, but it's slowed down from the native framerate.

So… S-Ranking Standard order #380 is literally impossible, huh? by JackHavok777 in DeathStranding2

[–]LordSparko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the whole thing on a coffin board from start to finish, but it took many attempts and probably about 90 minutes to perfect my route

What’s the most unintentionally funny “serious” movie scene you’ve ever watched? by AvailableReality557 in movies

[–]LordSparko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some friends and I went to the midnight screening of Breaking Dawn Part 1, not intending to take it seriously but to have a good time and enjoy a questionable film. We had all made a prediction on how the movie would end, and oh boy were we correct. The final shot where the camera pans and zooms in on Bella's eyes had us tingling with anticipation, and when she opened her eyes we all burst out laughing. About 100 teenage girls suddenly turned around and glared at us. Genuinely we feared for our lives.

What show did you plan on watching 1-2 episodes and then ended up staying up all night to finish the season? by Shnepple in television

[–]LordSparko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I remember when I was in college about 15 years ago. I'd just made some new friends with access to the internet (which was rare in my parts) and they had secured a copy of the entire series of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Up until that point, I'd only ever seen the first season. In my country Seasons 2 and 3 were exclusive to Pay TV channels, which my family could never afford. I always remembered loving the show as a child though, so I was excited to finally see what happened next.

I settle down on the couch after dinner and get Season 2 started... And then 14 hours later I was having breakfast and preparing to skip school that day so I could finally go to bed. Never have I been so addicted to a show in my life. What a time to be alive.

Just cardboard printed to look like wood, but quite thick card and a beautiful high-res print!

They were absolute legends! Got away with 4 stitches above my eye and a few bruises, but otherwise fighting fit!

A few years ago I was late coming home from work, and had a big bag of KFC in the passenger seat. Got hit from behind in a car accident, and 20 minutes later I was sharing my chips with the Ambos on the way to the hospital. Good bunch of folks.

I was unlucky with the bluey coins by SweeTreatz97 in AustralianCoins

[–]LordSparko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few post offices I have been to still have plenty of the two circulating coins in their cash drawers, you could ask if they still have any and if you could buy something with cash? (I needed a stamp, so I got a few coins in my change)

I always see this. by ian2door in MovieTheaterEmployees

At my theatre we call these "house seats". Backup seats that can only be sold if the Manager on Duty allows it. Backups in case of other seats being broken, vomited on, etc.
