I too have noticed the showings of *some* films to be a worse
experience for me than the disc was/is.
It is rare, though, and I would also attribute most of this to
theater function than the prints used.
Loews booted the union projectionists out of their chain (at least
some of the theaters), and their quality went to shit so bad that it
made newspaper articles on the complaints that arose. It appears they
are union busters in many of their holdings.
