   Back in the days of film an exciter lamp with a slit was used to reproduce   
   the soundtrack at 24 frames a second. 70mm film which was rare had 6   
   soundtracks. Today most movie theaters have moved to Blu-ray discs.   
   Projectionists used to make good money (because film used to be nitrate and   
   explosive) and were some of the stupidest bastards alive. Kuldip Singh   
   Samra's brother (Jaspol) used to work at the Carleton and the Eaton Center.   
   He was more fucked in the head than Kuldip. They could have done a movie   
   about the projectionists at the Eaton center. Shitplex (Cineplex) had the   
   worst equipment imaginable some of it was homemade by Carl Murin. They   
   actually started with all 16 mm projectors because they couldn't get first   
   rate films when the company started. Famous Players had all the money and   
   the people with the most security all had the jobs at Famous.
