2yrs later, a layoff has me on CA's state dental plan. Neither free nor mooching, been paying into it for 30yrs. Just got the tooth & a few cavities squared. Total cost? $14 for the ibuprofen.
"Minority Leader" Jeffries is nothing of the sort. #vh1storytellers #healthcare #lol #highwayrobbery

The Burbank 14 was where it started. 3 months staff, 9mo staff lead, 3mo projection, 2yrs proj supervisor.
I stayed with it so obviously it wasn't misery but yeah most of the memories are good ones. Linked up with some great people of whom I have yet to alienate several. #vh1storytellers #filmsky 🧵

VH1, Storytellers. Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Counting Crows, Jewel and many more. This album is pretty cool but the liner notes with the meaning of the songs it is even betterer. 2000 Interscope Records, USA first edition CD. #vh1storytellers #interscoperecords #aurender #cdcollection #storytellers

It's way too early to know just yet who that leader is going to be. Jumping on a horse and barreling towards the horizon before the race even begins, isn't in the best interests of anyone but the pundits and the high-blood-pressure crowd. #vh1storytellers #tldr #whoahorsey #patiencedanielsan

again on a gaming channel that's doing me proud, in a context that aligns both shareholder & consumer interest, is a very unusual convergence in what should be a random universe. #vh1storytellers #gamersnexus #mustseetv

Was just listening thru a piece on the decline of Alamo Drafthouse & was ofc reminded of dozens of memories of how shoddy #Arclightcinemas was run before its inevitable fall. Same elitist film culture on the floor, same oblivious disregard for film culture in the office. 🧵 #filmsky #vh1storytellers

May 8 was a short day, maybe 10hrs. May 7 was my personal record, 21hrs from start to finish. Got the buildup crew going on new film, got screenings underway, checked all staff work, built up and screened my own Iron Man (perks of leadership 👍🏼), replaced & re-screened a bad reel. #vh1storytellers

Back in the day there was an experiment in interactive presentations we were testing called 'Interfilm'. This was at the old AMC Burbank. Maybe half the seats - 75? - were outfitted with joysticks and at key points the audience would vote with buttons for story choices. 🧵 #vh1storytellers #filmsky

In my staff days we used to joke about how we wanted to make our exits. Finish out the last closing shift with leaving all the mustard in the freezer. "Any manager, there's a man with a gun at the office door" when the armored transport came by for a pickup. #minimumwage #vh1storytellers #thuglife

#blueskyartshow #openhouse When I went back to school I stuck with classes I knew would be easy, one was a computer science gig with an early assignment to build a binary calculator in Excel. I had some fun with it and dressed it up like an old Tandy. Prof thought I'd cheated. #vh1storytellers 🧵 1/4

I was going to poke at the carcass of #pacifictheatres a few more times but instead there's a couple of GOOD stories.
I was GM'ing at the Winnetka 21 through fall '12, until the company found some favored veteran to step in. #filmsky #35mm #vh1storytellers #oblivion

Pirates was a victory lap. Turning the booth at Pasadena had taken time and work, and presented some fun challenges. But there were no walkouts, our seniors all stayed, and we got a whole new pipeline of talent going. Most of that work was them anyway #filmsky #35mm #vh1storytellers #projection

At Santa Anita, Pasadena, Culver, it would take 8hrs to write show schedules. Glendale/Winnetka scheduled staff support, but even with a pair of helpers it was a day's (24hrs) work.
At Arclight Sherman Oaks it took a whole team almost 3 days to do it. #filmsky #35mm #vh1storytellers #avatar

#pacifictheatres back then had 2 sites in Pasadena, Paseo and the older Hastings. I worked Paseo. *Worst* Pacific day was at Hastings. I closed July 3, I remember making a joke to the sold-out midnight about a GI-Joe movie (then they went and made a GI Joe)... #filmsky #35mm #vh1storytellers

After AMC bought General Cinemas, those sites were seeded with AMC mgrs to ease transitions. This was my intro to the Sherman Oaks twin. I was to open the 5-Plex one day & they confirmed first I knew projection because their opening mgrs ran 1st shows. #filmsky #35mm #projection #vh1storytellers

I spent a few months in the booth at the Grove before moving into management with #pacifictheatres. Before Decurion's culture stomped the booths at Pasadena or Sherman Oaks, they inspired a near-total mutiny at the Grove. Most of their booth just walked. #35mm #filmsky #vh1storytellers

I absolutely judge movies based on the audiences they bring in. Was forever soured on the Scream films by all the tools I had to kick out that first weekend.
Musicals aren't my thing but #MoulinRouge is an all-time favorite thanks to an AC breakdown #filmsky #35mm #vh1storytellers

Weekend midnights were de rigueur, but Thursday night midnights were new then. Mgrs didn't like them because it meant another late night, we didn't like it in booth because it meant putting unscreened prints in front of audiences. #ExecutiveDecision #filmsky #35mm #vh1storytellers
