In Reply to: First review of Signs, and others... posted by clarkjohnsen on August 01, 2002 at 16:05:17:
Asylum Readers - I was very very disappointed with this movie as the overhead mike for the actors continually protruded into the frame. For me this spoiled the suspense of the movie. I can't think of any other movie where I have ever seen this. There was too much of this to save the movie in the cutting room. If this version is the same for all movie theaters stay away and save your money......Haoleguy

We saw the film yesterday and there wasn't a boom-mic in evidence throughout. I'm not exactly sure how the re-framing is supposed to work, but things like this can occur and it sure looks like a badly alligned projector and clueless projectionist is the culprit. BTW, in a situation like this you'ld have every right to request a refund from the theater since you didn't experience the picture the way it was meant to be seen.AuPh
Audiophilander - Thanks for the reply. I was waiting to hear from others before I approached the theater manager....Haoleguy
It was a supporting actor in The Parent Trap remake a few years back. Strange that this sort of thing happens in big budget movies.

...projectionist had the movie improperly framed. Saw this flick last night and no one, er...lowered the boom. Must have been shot in Super35.
Harmonia - Your take on this was that the projectionist should have been able to frame the picture differently to leave out the mike? Also do film production companies make a few versions depending on the theater equipment or is it all standardized at this point? Thanks.

It was probably the aliens doing it; it may have been intentional (i.e., part of the suspense)! :o)AuPh
