**BUMP**

In the cinema business, the best way to start a fight is bring up what to call the light source for a projector:

The device for providing the light (luminare) is known as a Lamphouse;

The device which produces the light is technically called a Xenon Short Arc Lamp, but:

It's referred to as a Xenon Bulb, which rankles the so-called engineers;

The manager who's calling about the explosive failure of the Xenon Bulb just says that "something blew up in the Christie {A very popular brand of Lamphouse} thing and now the screen is dark.";

Of course, none of this debate matters to the 500+ pi***d off people who don't get to see the rest of the movie!!

The real fun begins when you try to talk to the 16-year-old popcorn kid who barely knows how to thread the film and needs help to get the show running again. Makes a lot of the folks y'all run into in the trade seem downright intelligent! [Linked Image]

Stupid should be painful.
