So much for "Hooray for Hollywood."

Those days are long gone. Last night I sat through 20+ minutes of coming attractions in a local movie theatre before the movie I had paid to see actually began. Not to mention that these same promotions now include commercials for Coca-Cola, HBO, and others...

So let me get this straight... I'm basically paying for someone to advertise to me--and the movie are consistently mediocre at best? And Hollywood wonders why movie theatre attendance is down significantly.

Hooray for Hollywood? Hardly.
