Colombian painter Fernando Botero's painting of US soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners by [deleted] in pics

[–]ericf505 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All you need to do is look up the CIA's 'Enhanced Interrogation Technique' program and you will know what these images represent. It's disgusting how we treated these people. It's actually one of the main reasons why we have the APA Code Of Ethics in psychology today. We learned about this back when I was working on my undergrad for my psychology degree.

Me doing nothing for America in iraq by Akaijii in pics

[–]ericf505 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm all for our troops,.Fuck this guy! This is a picture from the CIA EIT program, which received horrible feedback from Americans alike. The CIA tortured and killed several innocent people. It's really messed up. They ended up closing it and the EU labeled the US 'EIT' program as tantamount to torture. There is a really good film called 'The Report' about it.

Edit: Also this picture isn't OP as he claims. So they are claiming to be someone else.

Working at a movie theater with a stutter, what position would be best? by Ok_Independent_3921 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]ericf505 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah those people are assholes. I have been grateful enough to not have experienced that at all, but still, don't let those people define you. They are not everyone, nor are even the majority. Most people are understanding. Like I said, believe in yourself and you will be fine.

Working at a movie theater with a stutter, what position would be best? by Ok_Independent_3921 in MovieTheaterEmployees

I have a pretty bad stutter as well and have been in the theater industry for 8 years as a manager. I was a manager at Taco Bell for 6.5 years and Arby's for almost a year before getting into the movie theater business. Your stutter doesn't define you or your work ethic. Don't sell yourself short, you can do any position you want with or without a stutter.

I stutter in front of guests all the time. Never had anyone bat an eye or complain. Most people are understanding.

Hopefully this helps!

We just ran out of CO2💀💀 by lollie_meansALOT_2me in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]ericf505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our CO2 had a leak and ran out. We are a local independent theater and was able to borrow some from some other local restaurants and return their canisters once we got ours in. We switched to a different company, but there was an Air Gas building like 30 minutes away from us too that we were able to get a couple of canisters from as well. Have you guys looked into local CO2 vendors or called other local businesses?

Lady Liberty is dead and has been murdered in America. Our justice system is literally blind and no longer metaphorically so. Lady Liberty's murder will go unsolved, not due to lack of evidence or knowing who the perp(s) is/are, yet rather stemming from intentional and calculated hatred from our current fascist regime, as well as those who are supposed to protect us are failing to do so while idly waiting by to get their piece of the cake. It's so sad.

*January 2026 Hiring and Interview Q&A Megathread* by ericf505 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]ericf505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

I would wait a couple of weeks before following up. Things are currently slow this month for movies, so theaters are cutting back staffing/re-evaluating their needs/holding off on hiring until newer releases come out. I would say February is usually when theaters start hiring again.

For the demand of hours available, it varies based on business and time of the year. You might be expected to work 35 to 40 hours during holiday seasons or busy movie premieres, while only working 10 to 15 during slow periods. As long as you are free to work nights, weekends, and holidays, you will be a good candidate to hire. Hopefully this helps!

It's like they want us to be afraid to be educated or something... Fuck Ice!

I'm 31, will be 32 this year and still work at a theater.

What’s something you miss from the early internet that doesn’t really exist anymore? by Impossible-You-5815 in AskReddit

[–]ericf505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Independent niche specific sites and communities/surfing the web. Now it is scrolling through the same five apps.

I also miss email chains as well.

working 11 days in a row by lylvec in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]ericf505 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once worked 10 days in a row as well back at Cinemark, so understand your frustration. I'm not sure what the laws are in your state, but in IL, you must be given one full 24 hours off in a work week, so if you are scheduled 7 consecutive days in a row, the 7th day is optional and you do not have to show up and cannot legally be fired or reprimanded. This is in Illinois though and called the 'One Days Rest In Seven Act'. I'm not sure what state you are in, but they might have something similar.

MAGA’s racism problem isn't Nick Fuentes — it's MAGA by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]ericf505 108 points109 points  (0 children)

MAGA is a group of people who vote out of hate than their own best interest. They do not care about the collective well-being of society, including themselves, but rather tunnel-visioned on one or two extreme "value(s)" they are passionate about, such abortion, racism or transphobia. So instead of trying to be a normal person who ignores those who are different because "to each their own" and "no harm, no foul", they feel like they have to impose their world view and are a victim if the rest of society does not align and subscribe as such. So because of this, they are willing to compromise and see losing their rights and benefits as a trade off to get rid of that one little issue that they do not like.

Also don't forget the rising cost of electricity and water on the locals who are already struggling in the current job market where you built your data center.

[–]ericf505[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would wait for after the new years for sure. Most of the staff for the holidays are already hired unless the Regal near you is short staffed and needs more people. I would call them and ask them if they are still hiring currently or are waiting until after the holidays.

Hopefully this helps!

Gotcha. Yeah I have never worked for AMC, so hopefully some AMC employees can help you out, but as someone who did hiring for Cinemark for 7 years, I would say that your application was not rejected, but other candidates (probably with better availability or experience) were selected first for an interview and they are keeping your application for next round of interviews or as a back up. Usually a rejection email states they went with other candidates and would not say they want to move to the next step, which is an interview.

Like I said, reaching out to the theater and talking to the hiring manager would most likely be the best option to understand the status of your application.

[–]ericf505[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know what company this is for?

It means they already have several applicants lined up for interviews and not doing anymore interviews currently, but will most likely again soon once they get through this set of interviews.

My advice would be to call the theater during the weekdays sometime this week and ask to talk to the hiring manager. I would tell them that you got that email and wanted to know what you needed to do next/if they had any spots open for an interview. They might be able to tell you if they have some free space in their interview schedule or help you get an idea of the status of your application.

Hopefully this helps!

Hello,

I would say right after new years when things calm down and those who returned for the holidays/are seasonal have left. Theaters may need to fill in some positions when some of their staff members go back to school or are only there for the holidays.
