Re: Standard Operating Procedure _ Errol Morris interview
In addition to my primary job as an accountant, I work as projectionist at a local second run theater in Portland, Oregon.

The past five days we've been showing Taxi to the Darkside. Quite often most of the films we're showing you could go rent at the video store, but why pay for a DVD when you can see images projected onto a screen much larger than any home presentation and drink beer and wine whilst eating pizza(!)?

My whole point though is that Taxi has been selling out each evening, and despite only showing once an evening at one theater in the city and Portland is very left as far as politics go, but it's quite amusing and reassuring to stand in the back of the auditorium and hear hisses and scoffs as scenes unfold showing appalling images and dialog throughout the film.

(My intention of this post was to keep with the leftist propaganda joke put forth by Deckard coming from the left coast of the US)
