:And a word of warning to any would-be projectionists: DON'T DO IT!!!
:You will never enjot another movie again. You start noticing every
:single little imperfection in the presentation. Reel changes,
:scratches, digital sound drop-outs, misframing, ghosting, screwed

yeah... no kidding. I'm scarred from having seen Fight Club. before
that i *never* noticed a "cigarette burn" and then the accompanying
reel change. NOW i can't f@#$% ignore them. i find myself trying to
time the exact moment of reel change. aaaaand NOW! sheesh.
Damn Fight Club. Damn damn and thrice damn (although technically
that was the fourth damn)
