Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has more or less successfully hitched his future to home theater, but he still pines for the clickity-clack of 35mm projectors and all the stale popcorn he could eat. Between projectionist gigs, he worked as a high-end audio salesman and produced records for an audiophile label.
