I worked in a movie theater in high school as well. I ran the projectors. Talk about a great gig. I loved that fucking job.

Only bad thing about the job was hating popcorn so much.

I always had the nudie scenes timed so I knew when to go "check" that movie.

I started out as a ticket taker/usher/theater sweeper, then worked my way up to chief of staff, then eventually assistant manager, but in the mean time I went to projectionist school since they decided to get rid of the union guys.

Yeah they paid for me to go to school at night for a month. We had to learn how to spice the films, load the projectors on the 3 platter system and maintain the projector.

I worked for Mann theaters and back in the late 80's they decided the union projectionists were making too much money so they thought it would be better if they sent a bunch of high school stoners to school...

I worked for Regal in the late 90's. The projectionists tried to unionize and they told the ones that wanted to do it to go find a new job and let the ones that wanted to stay become assistant managers. Managers werent too pleased about having to run the projectors. That pissed both sides off.
