[Ghoulish Delight]

A guy in Illinois is propsing a law that would require theaters to list both the starting time of the trailers, and the actual starting time of the movie. He says that, among other things, parents scheduling baby sitters deserve to know more precise schedule information. Meanwhile, theaters argue that it will adversly affect trailer exposure. Showing trailers is a large part of a theater's revenue.

What do you think? Personally, I think it's dumb for 2 reasons.

1) A freaking law? Piss off. This should not be legislated, it's not the place of government to set marketing practices.

2) Even if this weren't a law, but say a theater chain bandying the ida about, I don't like it. You go to a theater, even with the 10 minute preview buffer, people show up late and damn do I hate that. Tell them EXACTLY when the cutoff is, and that's just going to get worse as people will take every second you give 'em. Nope, I say, encourage as much early arrival as possible.
