I haven’t noticed that. Someone seems to always have it for rent.

That particular theater no longer has IMAX. Apparently people didn’t care?
Just like apparently Blu Ray is dying. I read that quad layer Blu Ray can hold
128 GB per disk, so most games could be distributed on one disc, but nobody
does that. I suspect it has to do with the trend toward you don’t own
anything, you rent and stream it, and there’s a kill switch.
I’m surprised how often I mention some movie or TV show and people say it’s not
available anywhere on streaming.

IMAX is on a totally different level than most movies. There is feedback from
the IMAX department to each of the theaters as well as specific requirements
for the venue.

Last movie I saw in a theater was probably the 2008 film Shine A Light in an

Even a difference between off the air and a networked stream of the same
program. Oddly enough, the stream had better audio than the broadcast
version.

Maybe that was the point?
Did you watch it in theaters? I've read that theater sound makes these audio
situations significantly better and that home audio, obviously not as good
quality, has difficulty getting dialogue out.

We went to see A Complete Unknown; a biography of Bob Dylan. It did not
attempt to do a very large portion of his life; just the years roughly
1961-1965. In the beginning he was very much in his folk-music formative years,
and as his popularity grew the film depicts his frustration with the fame that
he was not prepared for. It culminates at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival where
he broke out with band and an electric guitar. Really struck a chord (no pun
intended) with me as I was a teenager in 1965 and I distinctly recall the major
controversy when he "went electric".
The actors all did their own singing and instrument playing. Kudos for not
trying to emulate Dylan too closely, but instead doing a resonable facsimile.
I give it 4 stars. My only complaint was that much of the audio was much
too loud and drowned out a lot of the dialogue; especially when Dylan was doing
his trademark mumbling.
