Hey, Movie Theatres! You think you can get away with dim pictures, crappy sound and dirt all over your prints any more? Think again, as I will be proving Hollywood Blogslap with reports of poor cinema presentation of films that I see. This can be anything that occurs within a cinema auditorium that takes away from the enjoyment of watching a movie.

Reportable problems include the picture being out of frame or out of focus, poor quality sound playback, print problems such as visual anomalies such as dirt, horizontal scratches and noticeable splicing. Details will be provided about what is seen and where it occured, and if and how it was fixed when problems were addressed. I will also mention about whether the matter has been resolved with cinema management or not.
