So, we ventured out to our local cinema for a 4:45 showing of Social Network and as soon as the previews started they were accompanied by a very loud buzzing. Richard went out to the lobby to find someone to address the problem and the movie started. Said person finally reduced the volume of the buzzing but it still drowned out the dialogue. Richard left again, followed shortly by the pair of girls who were the only other people in the audience. I sat in the theatre by myself for a few minutes, then I left, too. The 4 of us were standing in the doorway when we heard the buzz totally disappear, so we headed back in only to discover that now it was totally out of focus. It was clear the guy in the booth had no idea what he was doing, so Richard and I went to the cashier, got our money back, and left.
When our town's one and only movie theatre goes out of business, we'll know why. We should have driven to the Cincinnati 'burbs in the first place.
