He's partially right...

Theaters are set up by "pro" techs, but they are set to a standard of 85db equals 0 vu. Peaks of 14 db above that are common in action films. That puts peaks at 99db, getting into the discomfort zone. Now if you throw in the "teenage employee who got his buddy in free to try and impress him" factor, that master volume knob goes up not down.

At any rate his statement that no film goes above 80db is a crock.
