My bigest hang up with the movie theaters is the fact that you pay close to $10 a ticket and then have to sit through 30 minutes of commercials before previews start. Around here it seems the average time before the movie starts is about 30-45 minutes. If you are going to show so many commercials lower the freak'n ticket prices. We have some great theaters here in Birmingham yet no one seems to get that we go to the movies and are willing to pay the money to see the movie, not the commercials. Matter of fact I make it a point to go out of my way not to buy anything from Companies that advertise in movie theaters.
I figure if I boycott them enough and enough of us get together to do that we can just rub out the ads by making them lose money. I think we should start writting letters to these advertisers to make this point
