Poor Picture At Your Local Cinema?

Posted by Unknown on Monday May 23, 2011 @07:25AM from the just-make-everything-three-dee dept.

The Hub writes "Have you ever noticed that the picture in your local movie theater is too dark or grainy? The Boston Globe does some good ol' fashioned investigative reporting to find the culprit. Apparently, the cause is linked to some 3D digital projectors requiring a technically challenging lens switch for 2D movies that sometimes doesn't happen."

I've actually given up on theaters, and watch movies at home. Too much noise, smartphone glare, impolite people...
On one of my last outings, someone actually smoked a joint, which at least was fun, and quite in the spirit of the movie. Then he started to loudly get into the film, which was also fun, especially since the film was quite bad.
