"There was a time when the feature was invariably preceded by a cartoon, and the audiences smiled when they heard the music for "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies " From Warner Bros. Cartoons have Long since been replaced by 20 minutes of paid commercials in many theatres, an emblem of the greed of exhibitors and their contempt for their audiences." This was an interesting post from roger ebert

Ah, the good ole days when the entertainment business was much more focused on entertaining people. Now those in the entertainment business are only concerned with hooking people with the commercial so as they'll buy a ticket to see the movie. Most movie budgets probably go to producing 5 minutes of explosions and stunts that can be thrown into a commercial to make a 2 hour POS look interesting.
