  • I fully support this kind of stuff. I ran movie theaters for 20 years. The switch from 35 to digital was welcome for a multitude of reasons. I really didn’t miss having brain wraps or a platter throwing the print all over the floor or having to replace trailers on the platter. Digital really is more convenient AND a better way to ensure a quality presentation. But now, even when I’m almost 15 years removed from the industry, I still have frequent dreams of threading projectors during a booth shift. I feel like I could walk into a 15 screen booth and still be able to thread and start an entire set without missing a beat. Those were some of the happiest days of my professional life. Just you and the machines. It was really zen.

    Doesn’t sound like someone who’s minutes away from starving buying something that was obviously unnecessary though, does it?

    And if a guy with shitty credit and unsteady income is able to get financing on a six-figure truck, that’s more the banks fault.

    Can you point to specific examples of someone you have encountered in your daily life, someone who is nearly starving… but chooses to spend their money on an unnecessary indulgence? Because it sounds like you’re otherwise just perpetuating stereotypes.
