I saw TR2N at the $4 cinema.
Green squiggly line the whole time, is that a damaged 35 thing?
Yes. I think it's called an emulsion scratch. Could also be a sign of sloppy print handling or a projector that needs fixing?
I saw Star Trek 6 opening night, and there was a "green line" on the right side of the frame for nearly 3/4 of the film! In theory, that print could not have been run more than a few times before I saw it.
Before I started going to revival screenings, Star Wars was the most beat up print I recall seeing. But that was a year into it's run. :)
