Wondering if anyone else experienced this:

My wife and I went to see The Odyssey in IMAX at Toho Cinemas Nijo yesterday afternoon (Oct 4 at 4:20). The sound was so loud we literally had to walk out soon after the movie started. It started with the previews, and we were hoping the volume would decrease once the movie started, but it didn't.

It was unusually loud -- probably loud enough to damage someone's hearing. I used to play electric guitar in rock bands, so I'm not exactly sensitive to loud sound. Nevertheless, both my wife and I had to put our fingers in our ears to avoid any physical discomfort.

I'd never been to this theater, so I wonder if this is normal. Oddly, nobody else seemed to be having a problem with it. I think we were the only ones to walk out at that point, and I didn't see anyone else plugging their ears.

We got a refund for the tickets, but it was just so strange that I have to wonder if anyone else has had this experience at that theater. It was theater number 10, supposedly IMAX (but didn't look like it). We were sitting near the center of the theater.

Please tell me what you think. Here's my idea:

I want to give free tarot card readings because it sounds so fun and I've always wanted to do it

Issue:

* I've never done tarot before

* I don't know what the cards mean except from playing Cyberpunk

Idea:

* A person knowledgeable in tarot will sit next to me and will shake their head when I say something wrong

Outcome:

* Over time, I'll learn tarot through trial and error

* It's free so no one can complain, and everyone's happy​

Would anyone be interested?
