Well, that's torn it (Matisse)

Went to the Matisse exhibition screening--and got sound (the ad for cinema screening of Shakespeare Globe productions was very fine on audio only), but no pictures. Insert sad blue cutout face here.

Cinema very apologetic, but the satellite wouldn't talk nicely to them. We suggested we drew on the screen; the manager offered to mime it for us, or sing. I think, if it had been missing sound, we'd've stayed for a pictures-only showing. Still, kudos to Vue for politeness, refunds, and compimentary tickets.

The thing I've now learned: if you can see and hear those irritating ads, all is weel, so be thankful even as you're annoyed.
