commercials. So, I went to see Avatar today and got there early because I like a seat about 2/3 of the way up and at the center. About 15 minutes prior to the starting time, the theater started running commercials on the screen. 15 frickin' minutes of being held captive and subjected to forced advertisements at 100db. Then, at the start time, we get to see about 10 more minutes of commercials......

I think I'll bring my ear plugs and take a nap next time.

Cheif, that's it? How was the movie? In dig 3-D, was it worth the jingle? About 20.00 per ticket here.

I watched it in 3D, not the IMAX (IMAX was sold out). The movie was awesome and I think I'll buy IMAX tickets next time. Matinee was only $11.

Movie was well worth it. I'm just surprised how many commercials this theater shoved down our throats....

Went to a movie in New York in early 80's, couldn't believe all the commercials played before the movie. Kinda realized it was only a matter of time before the rest of the country caught up.

Often the commercials are better than the movies

I haven't been to a movie theater since Blair Witch was making the rounds and the kids insisted I take them.

I left with a bad headache and never went back.

But this Avatar has me intrigued...

^That's not a good sign.

I miss the days when the movie started with a cartoon, had a few small previews, followed by the movie. Now, you are bombarded with witless commercials bought by the highest bidder....

I felt assualted by the time the movie started.....
