One of the main reasons I almost never go to movie theaters anymore is that they tell you the film starts at such-and-such a time. Then you get there and have to sit through 20 to 25 minutes of coming attractions of movies you're not interested in--they always pick out the loudest, most violent scenes, and the sound tracks are turned up to peak volume. Sometimes I opened the door to the auditorium and the sound waves practically blew me back into the lobby. Left my ears ringing for the main feature. Ugh!
