I go to matinees at my overstretched (9 screen) small town (16,000 pop)
multiplex, and there's at least one problem every time I go there. A
speaker fizzled throughout "Apollo 13." The Howler scene was missing from a
week two showing of Harry Potter 2. At another showing of that film the
lights came up before the credits ended (there's an extra scene at the
end). The a/c was up so high during "Matrix Reloaded" I kept rubbing my
hands to get some circulation back. And just last week with "Corpse Bride"
there was a thin green line on the screen throughout both the trailers and
the film. I gave up complaining long ago because there's usually only one
person working during matinees - a minimum wage teen who'll just say "uhh..
sorry about that." The next nearest theater is 30 miles away, and the
ticket price is only $4. I'll tolerate it for the films I really want to
see, but most of the time I'll wait for DVD. My TV is only 20", but at
least I can watch a film without needing mittens.
