---- (Mild Flame - but relevent to net.movies) I think you guys have forgot something. remember the explanations of free-enterprise and capitalism that you learned back at school? Movie theatres are privately owned and as such, they are free to do this sort of thing (show advertisements before movies). You in turn are free not to go if it bothers you. The next thing you know, some liberal will try to pass a law against it. Some things in our society need to be regulated because they are necessities, so people should be protected. But movies are certainly a luxury. You may be angry now, but can you really deny the theater owner's right to do this? Melissa Silvestre
