Spending the time to form a petition to stop something that has absolutely no detrimental effect to anyone anywhere seems like a phenominal waste of time. Ticket prices are already too high and as much as we'd like to go and yell at the movie theater workers, it's not their fault. Hollywood charges an outragous rental fee on it's reels. A lot of you might have missed it but one of the bigger theater chains in the country refused to carry Rush Hour 2 because New Line had decidced to change it's pricing policies for it's "big" releases which would have made the reels cost upwards of 30% more than before. This was done to Rush Hour 2 to keep New line from implimenting this new policy on the Lord Of The Rings trilogy because that would have cost theaters millions nationally. Those commercials some of you seem so adament about stopping are keeping movie tickets from jumping in price by 20-30% every year. Personally I welcome anything that can keep the price of going to the movies somewhat reasonable.
