35mm was a whole thing and while I miss the nostalgia, I certainly don't miss the upkeep and the problems with film. Digital is so much easier. I feel the biggest issue with digital is if a problem goes wrong, there's really not much you can do outside of standard problem fixes. If it's an internal issue. You're just screwed until the technician can fix it.
I agree that moving to digital saved so much time, and I'll never miss brainwraps or thrown platters... but working booth shifts threading projectors were some of the happiest times I had running theaters.
Thursday nights were an event for sure. Building up new movies, breaking down the old ones.
