Talk:Cigarette Burns

Accusation of Plagiarism
I've removed a passage accusing Carpenter of plagiarizing Polanski's The Ninth Gate. I'll agree that the plots are similar, but such an accusation needs back-up.Seantrinityohara (talk) 18:05, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

mistake
There is a mistake in this article: According to the film, 'La fin absolue du monde' is shown for its first and only time in Sitges Festival (Festival de Sitges) which is not a 'small French festival'. Sitges is in Spain, near Barcelona in the region of Catalonia and this festival has become one of the most important ones in the area of fantasy, horror, science-fiction...which has had honor guests such as Carpenter himself, Quentin Tarantino and David Lynch, just to cite a few.

Mistake
I learned to splice film, load a projector, and operate a projector in the US Midwest in 1977. That was a precursor to my installing automation in movie houses in the 1980's. The way I learned it, the term at the time, for the sync marks on the film stock was "cigarette burn", and was used to tell the projectionist when it was time to hit the button or pedal to switch projectors at the end of one reel to start the next reel in sync. This may not be a standard industry term, but it was in use while each projector only ran one reel at a time, and it was necessary to switch projectors. Now days, most real film stock is spliced and loaded on to platter systems. Any old time projectionists might well verify this. It is not a made up term.
