Commercials at the movies are wonderful things!!!

[Walt Starr]

I now know I will never try the new Sprite soda drink. Whenever I go to the movies from now on, I'll be able to learn all about products I will refuse to ever purchase!

1. How much money do these bastards need?

I wonder how the movie industry ever made it without going broke without the commercials.

[bocadem]

2. They have some nerve.

I PAID to see the movie... how dare they subject me to advertising.

So far I have refrained from downloading movies.. but I'm not sure how long I can continue.

3. I couldn't believe it the first time I saw one!

And the last time I went to the movies, there were several of them. Talk about a captive audience!

[Walt Starr]

4. I plan to get very vocal during them the next time I go to a movie

"There's a brand of shampoo I'm never ever going to buy because they want to disrupt my movie going experience with their commercial!"

"I certainly won't be drinking that new Sprite because they forced me to sit through this lame commercial after I paid to be here!"

"That CD is never going to sit on my shelf after I had to pay to see their stupid commercial"

It could start a movement.

6. Makes me wanna...

...chuck my $7 Coke right at the screen! :mad:

[HEyHEY]

8. DOn't just complain

Why don't you boycott the movies. I've been doing it for years and I feel great, of course with the SHIT they make now it's not too hard to boycott the movies.

9. Another industry out of control

And it's the greed at Hollywuss who is to blame.

Movies cost a truckload of money to make; usually due to the salaries of hyper-ego celebrities, half of which are either overrated or not even good to begin with. And/or to create those glossy special effects, which look so obviously computer generated, it's not much better than playing a game at the arcade - but only costs 32 times more. (or are all arcade games $0.50 per play these days?!?!?!)

Movie theatres generally make their moolah over the junk food they peddle.

Instead of raising entrance fees from an already expensive $8 to even more, they add in the commercials - 5 minutes worth the last time I saw a movie. Commercials which we, the consumers, ultimately pay for if/when we buy or use the products they peddle.

In this society, the costs in the end always gets put back on the consumer.

At this point, I'm ready to cheer the movie downloaders too. Hollywuus is the problem, and they don't even bother to create anything good. Nor do they offer refunds if you don't like what they made. So if you don't like it, they made $8 they did not deserve. Hey Mr. Valenti, who is doing the stealing again? YOU are!

10. Hey Walt, think of then as "public service announcements!"
