The left speaker in theatre 2 isn't working...

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Yesterday I went to my local Edwards/Regal Cinema to see Pirates of Caribbean. After sitting through the incredibly boring and tacky adverts for TV shows and Lidrock bubblegum music, the 6 trk trlrs started. Brother Bear, Freaky Friday, and Haunted Mansion. All I know well because I worked on their sound. There was no left channel for any of them. I got up and hunted down the theater manager, a kid of maybe 20 in a suit and told him. I first received an attitude like I must be wrong, how could I know. I told him I work as a sound engineer and he told me it must just be a couple bad trlrs. I said no thats not likly I worked on those trlrs. The movie started and 10 minutes in my wife and I left. We got our refund, but nobody else left the theater. The manager apparently never left his office to even come hear for himself. I watched for him to enter the theater and he didn't. Perhaps he already knew I was right ? I do happen to know exactly the people at Disney to speak with and perhaps the manager will care a bit more this afternoon.
Do any of you complain or leave when you notice technical flaws ? Do you get any response ?
