I don't think I've ever seen a film at a multiplex that wasn't slightly out
of focus. I don't think they ever check the focus, their attitude seems to
be that if it was in focus last year it must still be. I don't expect
McDonald's staff to care about the food they serve and I probably shouldn't
expect multiplex staff to care about the film!
