Here's the deal:
I'm fed up with watching shitty presentations at just about every theatre I've been to in the Fort Worth, Arlington, Mid-Cities and even Dallas area.
My theatre is great, and our presentation quality is pretty sweet (if I do say so myself ), but sometimes I want to watch films someplace other than where I spend 40 hours a week!
I know there are a bunch of North Texans in here, so please, where can I go to see a film that doesn't have horizontal, vertical, base, emulsion, platter scratches and loads of dust, that isn't ghosting, that doesn't have a misadjusted aperture plate, that doesn't have a flickering bulb, and that does have a steady image? (Yes, I've experienced all these things and more around here ).
I don't know which theatre Brad runs, but I'm pretty much 100% sure that that'll be the one to go to.
Any suggestions?

Emma did not say she was concerned with Suck screens and ceiling mounted speakers. This thread is not about what makes a 100% perfect presentation. I am not saying that I disagree with you about the screens and the sound setup. However, that is not the point, the point is that the DFW area generally has poor quality presentation, as I am sure most other areas do as well. When I was running the theater it was one of the better theaters to go to if you wanted a decent presentation. If you cant stand the torus screens then you could always go to Cinemark hollywood and watch a movie without it.
By the way, there are only 6 out of the 30 screens there that have torus screens. The rest are perforated with standard speaker setup, of course they are EV but I won't get into that.
Just out of curiosity joe, Which theaters have you seen movies at here is Dallas and aside from the obvious (film-tech screening room) which one(s) had the best presentation in your opinion?
