Went to see "The Simpsons" and now remember why I don't go to the cinema anymore

Went to see "The Simpsons" movie and now remember why I don't go to the movies. It was the first time I'd
been to the movie theatre in about six ears. The experience reminded me of the two main reasons I quit going.

1. I kept dozing through it like I always did before. (I suffer from sleep apnoea and this dozing is one of the symptoms and is the reason I no longer drive.)

2. I paid £5 ($10) to sit through a half hour of bloody TVadverts,
for cars and banks and god knows what all else. If I wanted to watch adverts I would have stayed home in front of the TV. How do they get away with that? It ought to be illegal. 

At least when watching tv you have a choice and can turn the tv off.

If I could be bothered, ie if I intended ever to go to the cinema again, I would picket the theatre.
