I have a philosophical issue with movie theaters, so haven't been to one in two or three years. I can almost see paying $9 a ticket to see a first run movie, but not when I get there, and they insult me and waste my time by first playing 20 minutes worth of f'n TV commercials. 20 minutes of TV commercials are bad enough on TV at home, but I can accept that as the price of admission since I'm not on pay-per-view for conventional network programming. Plus I have the mute button and can take bathroom or kitchen breaks during commercials. But paying $9 and having no escape from their f'n commercials in the theater is just as bad as spending good money to buy legible clothing and paying to advertise somebody's products.

Young people don't seem to have any issue with this economic disadvantage, so forming a theater boycott to have commercials removed from movie programming looks like a real long shot. Meanwhile, I continue to vote with my wallet and wait until movies are available through Netflix.
