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.

Maybe we'll have that kind of technology in the future.

im looking at a future that no longer has any working film production equipment because nobody makes parts for such things

Somebody’s collecting all those old projectors and celluloid and that person is going to be the coolest person in whatever city they are in depending on the celluloid they also collect.

In fact — in Portland — a big assed projector would go over huge even today.

I think people are sick to death of the magic of digital streaming.
