We walked out in the middle of “Le Divorce”
today.

The movie was fine (if a little uneven); our complaints were
technical. Intermittent right channel, about 30sec of dialogue-volume
static, and then severe blurriness which the booth monkey was unable to
correct even after about a minute of fierce jiggling. The manager
explained that they got a used print, because the studio didn’t make
many prints. He apologized and instructed the teller to give us free
passes as he rushed down to screen 10 to check out the illegibly-blurry
subtitles.

This is why celluloid sucks.
