Boom showing in Boiler Room

QUESTION:

I just saw "Boiler Room" here in Los Angeles. I loved the movie. Wall Street for the 00's... but I have one question. Was the boom showing in almost every shot for other people? My friend and I couldn't believe it! The boom was practically knocking people in the head. Was this an error on the theater that showed it, or did other people see this too?

ANSWER:

I haven't seen "Boiler Room," but 99 times out of 100 when this happens, it's a theatre screw-up. Go out and complain to an usher that the framing is wrong.
You'll usually get some advance warning of this problem when the studio logo comes up at the beginning of the film -- check to see if it looks way too high up on the screen, or (and this is where you start seeing boom mikes) way too low.
