: 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 up eccentrics, and 5,000 other things.
This is totally correct. However, there is a bright side: After you quit, slowly things start getting back to almost normal. Sure, when I'm pointing out scratches on the print that no one else sees to the girl I'm on a date with, she thinks me a bit odd, but other than that I am now a healthy movie goer again. Which is, I still notice, but it's not QUITE as aggrivating. But you always remember...
