: - is that so many theaters have now taken to showing TELEVISION COMMERCIALS before the movies. I wouldn't mind IF THE MONEY THEY MAKE FROM SHOWING THE COMMERCIALS WAS PASSED ONTO THE CONSUMERS. Seriously, if the big chains are getting big bucks to show TV commercials, it's only logical that they should cut ticket prices a bit.

For a while, I've wanted to find a way of cheaply displaying the words "Do you hate paying to watch commercials?" on the screen when they play the ads. Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to figure out a way to do it, and I think I'm way too much of a wuss to do something that would get me kicked out/arrested like that.
Regardless, does anybody know of a cheap, portable projection device that would do the trick? Something with lasers would be cool!
