OOC Backgroundy stuff

Hey.

It's probably ridiculously self-important to write this, but what the heck.

This is how I'm planning on running the theater: I'll show one movie every week, mostly fairly recent releases. I'll try to make a post announcing the film and the day's show times each Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If I haven't done that by 3 p.m. eastern time and one of my able employees feels like it, they can start the post; otherwise, assume the theater is dark for the night. (And speaking of the employees ... I'd like you to comment at least once a week, just to let me know you're still working there. But I'll probably let it slide even if you don't. If you quit or want to get fired for some strange reason, though, please let me know.)

Cinema Cohen will also host special screenings, film festivals, and the like on weekdays from time to time; if you have an idea for one, tell me. Same thing with film requests, complaints, etc.

I have never worked in a movie theater; if I get something seriously wrong, that's why. Apologies in advance.

Finally ... it's really hard for me to get a sense of a character's voice from one two-hour musical. (For one, Mark probably wouldn't tend to speak in rhyming couplets in real life.) So if he sounds off, that's why, and I hope Jonathan Larson would forgive me.

Thanks. I'm always afraid of Attack of the Nitpickers, so I might run something by you at some point. I figure it doesn't need to be hyperrealistic, though ...

Just be cautious not to show movies that involve any of the characters being played... one of the comm rules is that no one is allowed to tell anyone else they're fictional...

And I still love the idea of Mark owning the theater and I'm anxiously awaiting the movie release!

Good point, thanks.

It'll make your job infinitely harder :)

I foresee lots of nature documentaries. And maybe some romantic comedies.

I'm making it up as I go along if that makes you feel better! I have a vague idea of how I'm playing Paige, but I keep going a bit off! :/

Hey, I yesterday I said Caro was from America and she's like THIS English *shakes head* :P But don't worry about the voice thing, Green Wing is only nine episodes off the bat so far, so I understand at least a bit, an no one will hold is against ya :D
