Is there any evidence that the phrase "cigarette burns" was not made up by the movie Fight Club? If not, I don't think it's a good idea to list it here, other than perhaps to note that Fight Club used that term, but that it is not in widespread usage and is a good way to have projectionists laugh at you...

I have heard the term "cigarette burn" well before _Fight Club_. As to method, it is figurative, not referencing the actual method to produce it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nantucketnoon ( talk • contribs) 21:11, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
For what it's worth, regardless of whether the term was used historically, the use of the term in the film Cigarette Burns (the title and the dialogue) suggests that the term has found some use. 72.225.125.105 ( talk) 19:27, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Also, sometimes the first cue is known as the "motor cue" and the second cue as the "changeover cue." It's perhaps inadvisable to use the term "changeover cue" generically.
Lastly, I don't know of any changeover theatres that thread to PICTURE START -- that would be 12 feet (8 real seconds) in advance. Depending on motor ramp-up speed, academy-second countdowns are generally threaded between 7 and 11 feet. Jhawkinson 09:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
These two articles are talking about the same things in different contexts. Their names do not disambiguate them. Presumably they should either merge in a common article, or be broken out into either "Cue-Dot (film)" and "Cue-Dot (television)" or "Cue mark (film)" and "Cue mark (television)."

We should have an illustration of what a cue mark looks like. Lots of choices: schematic representation (like in SMPTE 301), actual scanned image from a film (copyright issues?), appearance onscreen (oval cues for scope movies), etc. jhawkinson 16:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Should cigarette burns redirect here considering it's not an industry term and not the traditional use of the phrase? -- 69.165.204.50 ( talk) 01:06, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
The cigarette marks were mentioned somewhere as called or known as "emory - emery marks?" if i remember correctly or maybe a similar name, can anyone find a sourcing. oops I guess maybe I was thinking of "Avery Dots" doh— Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.199.163.22 ( talk) 04:08, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Why is Coded Anti-Piracy mentioned in this article and listed as the only "See also"? I can't see any relationship to cue marks, except for the fact that both have something to do with the film industry. ChasFink ( talk) 15:36, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
