To all who've been to a movie lately

Yup. I feel your pain.

It depends upon the theater that you go to though - the chain. We went to a Signature theater chain awhile back and it was just as you described... almost 20 minutes of bullshit.

However, we now exclusively go to a Century theater a little further away. We saw School of Rock on Saturday... saw 4 previews, 1 regular commercial (for Fandango.com to pre-order tickets next time, which we will do as the lines were long) and that's it. Any info about the theater or snacks was shown via slide show before the lights dimmed. MUCH better IMHO.

But yeah... it's getting out of hand. Glad we missed the 2 minute deal about movie pirating... I would have been snoring before Jack Black ever appeared on the screen... <_<
