The CMPAA

Oh no, that sounds bad. Actually it isn’t, it is the Captive Motion Picture Audience of America.
They are fighting one of the reasons I don’t go to the movies anymore, TV commercials played before movies. Nothing wrong with showing previews, or pushing their overpriced snack bar items, but why the F- do I have to sit thru commercials for whatever is on UPN Thursday night. Movie is listed to start at 7:35, after the trailers and commercials it’s almost 7:50 before the movie starts, just a pain in the ass.
Which is why I use Netflix. I get to watch the movie on my own time, just forward thru the crap I don’t want to see. The movie can be paused quite easily if a bathroom break is needed. The movie is cheaper, the food is cheaper, I have much more room to stretch out and be comfy.
Sorry movie theaters, the large screen is not enough for me to justify the expense and annoyances that go along with seeing a movie in the theater anymore.
