I dunno, a guy I knew bought a Jurassic Park FPS (the lost island maybe?) purely because you could look down and see your character's huge and polygonal breasts. That I would call a dumb reason to buy a game:)
Personally the thing I'd like to see is the development of the Rebellion against the Empire - I'd love it if the supposed TV series set between Eps III and IV looked into this - I think it could be fascinating if done right...
Nah - where we wanted to we did 'prescreening' shows like I said - we just *never* had time to do test screenings - I don't work multiplexes, but a small arthouse cinema in the UK - theory is that if you are careful in the makeup there won't be any problems in the show.
Hell - one time the film arrived from the distributer 8 minutes before showtime. That was a whole heap of fun...
Well sorry, the first bit is - film tends to be delivered in 2000foot spools (which equates to about 20min of film) and in the olden days required the use of two projectors and the cue dots and all that - some places still use it, although its more for historical interest than anything - its a more interesting challenge for the projectionist anyway:)
These days as you say film is 'made up' into one collossal reel so all the projectionist then has to do is lace up the projector once and do a single startup.
No projector I have ever used has required a shutdown in the event of a racking problem (the film being out of line by x number of sproket holes as described in parent) as then all have a vertical adjustment on the gate (the specific part of the projector that passes the film in front of the bulb) varying from half a frame in either direction to a full frame in either direction. This of course means that theres at least a full frame of movement so any possible problems of this sort are easily rectified without requiring a shutdown - good job really as its about the most common problem out there - right up with focus being out:)
P.S. IAAP (I Am A Projectionist:) )
Also, no cinema I have ever worked for has done a test screening of a print prior to showing it - hell, at least 30% of the time a new film would only show up just in time to be prepared for the first pay-for showing. Thats not to say that 'training shows' were never done which at the places I worked were literally excuses for the staff to watch the movie a bit early:)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I remember the original airings of the first episode or two had a credit sequence that described the firefly universe as a single system of many habitable planets but that sequence got ditched never to be seen again. Good thing too as it was a bit daft...
Personally I'd be extremely interested in such a device - If it could improve on the few failings of the iMate Jam I'd pretty much be sold - to my mind all the Jam needs is onboard wireless and more onboard memory to be about perfect - I suppose a better camera would be nice but for me thats an irrelevance - I'm on my third camera phone and all but never use them:)

Where I come from it's called the Highlander principle:

There can be only one, because all the others were shit

But yeah - the trailer looks great.
