I am a licensed #projectionist, it was one of my odd jobs as a student in the 90s, the longer lasting of them all. The syllabus of the exam had been written 40 yrs earlier and contained references to #nitrate safety. I have never touched an arc lamp, but I had to show I was vaguely aware of its operation, among other things. Same for the sand bucket!
Fast forward to 2023, and #cinemas have started to advertise projections of #films ON FILM, like it was some kind of novelty. "On #35mm !!!". Heck, the film may even break live, or have scratches and splices! I don't know if I feel cool and trendy (_man, I was there_ 😎) or a piece of antique 😂

If you know a projectionist, this is a perfect gift for them. (like me, they will immediately point out the inaccuracies, but also like me, they will absolutely cry at its cuteness) 🥰🎞🎥 #projector #projectionist #film #Snoopy #CharlieBrown #Woodstock #adorable

Alright, fellow tooters (that's funny, because fart), I need to be honest with you, whenever I hear "Mastodon", I don't immediately think of a prehistoric megafauna equivalent of an Elephant. No, no.
See, as a former cinema projectionist and a lifelong Metalhead, this is what always leaps out at me first:
