[Way OT] Retail desecration
Against my better judgment yesterday, I went out to a Cinemark
movie theater. One of the many, many pre-movie advertisements used Brian Wilson's beautiful song _Wouldn't it be nice_ with some clumsily written ad copy substituted for his excellent lyrics. I couldn't even tell you the name of the junk they were pushing in that ad because I was busy being repulsed and concerned. This falls solidly into the 'What were you thinking?' category. I'm going to play this a few more times in an attempt to recover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMytHN6odD4 --Winston |

It makes me wonder how much a movie ticket would cost if there were no commercials... Over ten bucks? No, wait. I paid $12.25 for the movie and a dozen commercials. Well what if a medium popcorn and a bottle of water were say $6.50? No, wait. I paid $10.00. --Winston |

Retail desecration
I go to matinees so I don't have to pay quite as much for a big-screen
movie. There are very, very few people in teh theater then, a real boon. *[...] They'd confiscate the popcorn if they saw it but they let water in. I go to the one remaining local drive-in. Two movies at $20 a carload, you can trade snide comments with the other people in the car without upsetting the other patrons, you can bring whatever refreshments you want except those requiring the use of an open flame, and well behaved pets are allowed. And it's closer than the 'plex... --Glenn Lyford |

Not as bad as some, I'll grant. --Winston |

Note to Lew: When you see that and start hollering "Bigot!", I want you to know that it predates anti-Asian sentiment and the last syllable is pronounced like "cook", OK? My favorite expression for that segment of homosapiens came from a co-worker at PSU. "Bedwetters" :-) I'm a bigot and proud of it. :-) But I don't "stereotype". ...lew... |
