Movie Theater commercials and Superbad

I was appalled the first time I saw a commercial in a movie theater. Now, it has become common place. The logic is supposed to be that commercials pay for content that you get for free, but when you pay, you don't have to sit through commercials, as with cable. Few things make me feel as powerless as paying $11.50 for a movie ticket, top dollar on a week night, and having to watch commercials at the movies. So, to the advertising folks at Scion, Razor, and Coca Cola, thanks a whole hell of a lot for convincing movie theaters or distributors (or whoever the hell does this) that people wouldn't mind paying to be advertised to. It sucks. You suck. You keep coming up with new and more profound ways to suck.

What other weird things like that are happening that make you feel powerless?

Heard Superbad was incredibly good. It was very funny in some places and enjoyable overall, but not mindblowing.
