Indiana Jones, now with lowered quality
I thought I was just imagining things when the sound level of the recently watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull seemed uneven, with occasional periods of slightly lower volume.
But things more sinister than auditory hallucinations or bad sound equipment may be afoot: according to an article in boingboing, the lower quality is man-made.
The short periods of silence are added to deter and track piracy. Which is definitely a heavy-handed way to go about it.
The article has not been rebutted yet, but I hope this turns out to be a hoax. After all, when the ten euro movie ticket does not guarantee full use of 24-karat equipment in the theatres, I cannot but feel cheated.
