I went to the movies yesterday and watched Oceans 12 at a Regal owned cinema. This is only the second time I've been to the movies in the past six months and both times were at Regal owned cinemas. Anybody else out there besides me annoyed at "The 20" where they show 20 minutes of commercials before the previews start? Now we have to pay to see commercials at the movies as well? I much preferred 20 minutes of movie trivia. I know this has been going on for some time but it's annoying.
BTW, I like Oceans 12, very entertaining and I didn't figure out the twist until the very end. And Catherine Zeta Jones has got to be one of the most attractive women on the planet

The last time I was in a theatre was over a year ago. At that time they showed over 20 minutes of television commercials before the show. (Goodrich Theatres). I have since emailed Goodrich theatres no less than a half a dozen times and have told them that I refuse to go to their theatres until they stop playing commercials. At over $8.00/ticket I am paying to see a movie, not a commercial. I have upgraded my home theatre system so that I really have no need to go to a theatre. I simply wait until the film comes out on DVD and then rent it. If they insist on showing commercials, I should be able to get in for free to see the movie. After all, doesn't commercial television work on this principle???

It's $9.25 here in Sacramento, I'd hate to see what the price is on Manhattan! Sounds like all the theater chains are doing it. Now if I could get Catherine Zeta Jones to go with me to the movies instead of my wife I wouldn't even notice the commercials.
The theaters in the UK have been doing this for years. It was only a matter of time. Instead of thinking of it as demeaning the value of your admission ticket, think of it as helping keep the price down. It's that or $9 Milk Duds.
