Actually, I don't mind the "coming attractions" bit. Sometimes the
trailers can be more entertaining than the main feature. *Any*
trailer would be better than "titanic". Once, we saw a trailer
for "bill & ted's something or other" which was pretty funny. When
we saw the film though, it was embarassingly bad. However, shortly
thereafter, we saw the trailer again at a different film, and THE
TRAILER WAS STILL FUNNY. Sometimes they can give an impression of
what a film is going to be like, too, which can save you money, if it
looks really awful. Actually, I quite enjoy the cheap-rate local
ads you sometimes get in cinemas up here in the grim north. You can
get a larf out of them, as well as the '80's throwback bladerunner
rip-off ads for vodka & the like that seem to go on for ever...
