Inglourious Basterds

Just finished watching the film the Inglourious Basterds....

Thought it was supposed to be light entertainment... not knowing it is actually so bloody brutal... and surely not the best choice for a bedtime story... 8-X

It is a well done movie except for one thing that I can't get out of my mind...

In my short-living career as a projectionist, or, the apprentice, and, if I recall it correctly, you start running the second projector when the first circle appears on the screen.  When the second circle appears on the screen, you switch the light on for the second projector and turn the light off for the first one off while letting the first projector finish running.  That seems to be one of the biggest role of the projectionist...

That was the equipment used in the mid 1990's....

So what is the question?

Unless it was automatic back in the 1940's, who performed the light switching shall the lady projectionist be dead?

The only thing I have to say about a otherwise good script.
