it's sad to see the decline of film projection. A good film showing is excellent. Of course, most theaters now don't seem to care about presentation.

Where I work, we recently ran a 35mm print from the Fox archives. Being a archive copy, it wasn't being spliced (as shown,) and people couldn't believe that our (skilled) projectionist was able to seamlessly switch from reel 1 on projector 1 to reel 2 on projector 2.. even though they knew it was coming.

Still, while I suppose it's somewhat akin to the buggy-whip makers, there's a lot about film-making that isn't being improved by the whole "fix it in post" attitude that we're operating under now.

Ah, well, I started as a film-major in college, but changed before it was too late. I don't know that I'd have survived in this world. (And who thought I'd be a curmudgeon this young? (Maybe it's just as well I work in a museum..))
