Wow, hard to have much sympathy for an industry that gets basic customer service so wrong, so often. You'd think having a bright, easily viewable and pleasant picture would be the first thing attended to in showing a movie. Mike F. ________________________________ From: Peter T.

Theatres have been notoriously bad at using the proper brightness for years anyway, no? 3D is just their latest excuse for under-projecting, but I don't think eliminating 3D would solve the problem. BTW, I saw the new Pirates of the Caribbean in 3D yesterday, and found it very very dark ... but I was also annoyed by the constant orange-and-teal colour scheme, especially during the nighttime scenes, which I don't remember noticing in the earlier movies. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
