- Danny, I hope the manager offered you free tickets to see the movie again

- This will not come as any great surprise, but not all prints have the
- sync problem. I went to see AFGM last night as well, in Guelph, ON,
- (that's in Canada) and I did not notice any problems. Now, I wasn't aware
- of the sync problem beforehand, but I am quite certain that I would notice
- even minor sync problems. Something else I hate is when the projectionist
- can't quite get the picture in focus!
-
- Now, about the movie itself: This is an excellent movie, and I highly
- recommend it. Once the sync problems have been corrected, go see it!
