Alamo Drafthouse blames ‘nationwide’ theater outage on Sony projector fail
www.theverge.com
“Due to nation-wide technical difficulties with Sony, we aren’t able to play any titles today.”

From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

      The film caught fire when I saw Interview With the Vampire in the theatre. It was awesome.

      Yes — but local projectionists maintain the ability to restore the ability to present the films.

      When corporations are in charge of everything, humanity is a powerless minion holding its icky tiny gruel filled bowl and whining, “please, sir, May I have some more.”
