I just got out a regal imax screening, seated at showtime and expected some trailers but they ran 30 minutes of straight up ads and then 15 of trailers. Dudes, the movie is already 3 hours long and tickets were $30 a pop - can we please cut this crap all together?

  1. Everyone leave reviews of that cinema: "too many ads before the film"
  2. Boycott
  3. Repeat until they die or stop sucking

Yes. I'm sick and tired of silent boycotts. Unless you're boycotting because of something major currently in the news, you have to tell the company you're boycotting why you're doing it or it doesn't work.
