Stop the Commercials at Movie Theaters
Why is this important?
Why is it that the price of a movie ticket continues to rise while the quality of the the theater experience is losing its value? What happened to showing newsreels, cartoons or short films before the feature presentation? When did it become acceptable to pay $12.50 for a movie and then have to watch Coke, Verizon, and Progressive bombard us with their corporate Message. How did this happen? When and why did this become commonplace? Either lower the price of the movie ticket for the American public and make the advertisers subsidize the difference or prohibit advertising altogether. Those of us who pay for a premium movie channel at home are not subjected to commercials so then why should we, the movie goers, have to sit there and watch tons of commercials instead of getting what we paid for - pure entertainment.
