but the previews are the best part this is re-freakin-dicuouls. is illinois such a well run place that these are the type of issues tying up their legislatures? well, pack my bags & call me gone. ohio can't even run a decent election & illinois is shaving minutes off their citizens wait times. amazing.n't you just hate it when you get to a movie theater on time, only to sit through a bunch of previews and commercials? So does Illinois state lawmaker Jack Franks.

He is proposing a law that would require theaters to list two starting times. One for trailers and commercials and the other for when the movie actually starts.

He said the real starting time is important information, especially for parents who have to arrange for baby sitters. Theater owners don't like idea of dual starting times, fearing people won't be in their seats for the trailers.

Franks admitted his issue isn't of the earth-shaking variety. He said he won't fall on his sword for it.i would like to point out that mr. franks may be a bit out of touch w/modern parents. did he actually have a hands on approach to parenting? i'm guessing not because any parents i know would gladly sit through previews in a movie as long as the kids are w/them. if they are out for a night & the kids are w/a sitter, waiting through previews w/o kids in a dark room is not something they are complaining over.

if illinois wants to debate something to help their citizens in their action packed lives, how about a law putting a cap on the amount a daycare can charge per week.

most dreaded night of television and so it starts. the pre-show for the oscars are rolling in the background. i now begin my general roam of the house looking for something to do while karen watches the oscars. i HATE award shows. it's just a whole bunch of self-absorbed circle jerking.
