It has come to my attention -- as they say in pompous business memos -- that some of our viewers are annoyed by incessant trailers which precede the feature film. Not only that, but they find the R and NC-17 trailers offensive or disturbing.
I do too, but for different reasons. I have to see those films no matter what and I'm especially annoyed when they show them at all media critics' screenings.
I have a solution.
Bring along a Walkman, iPod, or Blackberry (assuming you're not sitting near someone who would be annoyed by the light you’ve created.) When the trailers begin -- and they are necessary---simply tune in and tune out the ones you find offensive. I hope it works.
If you have a better solution, tell me about it below.
