I went to see The Hunger Games at the Coral Ridge Mall theater yesterday. (It's own by Marcus.) I suspected something was wrong the whole time. When I got home, I checked it. They had screened at the wrong aspect ratio. The movie was supposed to be 2.35:1 and it was shown 1.85:1. I'm not familiar with the mechanics of DLP projection, so not sure how this happened, but the screen itself seemed to be 1.85:1.

Ask a 21% refund because you only saw 79% of the movie

Now that's funny right there!



Ace, I've never heard of a theater owner called Marcus.  Is that an eastern IA thing?  Around Des Moines, we only have Carmike, Cinemark, and a few others, but not Marcus.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!
