It costs $50.00 to take my teenaged grandson to a movie, even if I can find one that we both like. And half the time the fifteen minutes of advertisements before the show include "public service" propaganda touting the gay agenda, lecturing us about recycling and cutting back on energy use, and demanding that we quit smoking. This in a theatre where popcorn costs $10.00 a bucket and all the buckets end up on the floor! Not to mention the large number of "children" (30 and under) blabbering continually throughout the program, either on their cell phones or to one another -- "so I'm like, whatever!" -- and the crying, struggling toddlers who have to go to the washroom every three or four minutes.

Going to the movies is not worth the trouble anymore. Except for Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia, I'm staying home.

I had to check your profile page to see where you live. The experience you describe would send me directly to the theater managers office. Our local theaters don't play commercials (yet). Preachy, political PSAs would be over the top.

You should tell the theater owner exactly what you just posted, verbally and in writing.

You mean movies about/with "gay cowboys eating pudding" is a genre that won't cut it with audiences?
