Poor food, poor seats, poor video quality, and most of all poor company.

I've found the solution to this to be to view movies at IMAX or in 3D. They cost a bit more but they absolutely have to have the film in focus and the additional cost keeps out the trash who put their bare feet up on the tables or seats in front of them. For everything else I rent from a DVD kiosk, borrow, or torrent (in that order). If I really like a movie I'll buy it, and then download the torrent. I like having a good safe physical copy but it's a hassle to rip it and I prefer the convenience of keeping it archived on my Xbox disk for XBMC.

IANAL, Yet.
Guess what, "The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for those who send commercial email"
Parent did not specify that it was commercial email and "newsletter" indicates that it likely is not. Even if they were of a commercial nature they would likely be exempted under the CAN-SPAM act as they would qualify as "relationship" messages.

Comment Ensuing Hilarity, why else (Score 1) 1397

I helped run a lab for a journalism class on horrible ancient hardware. We named the stations after South Park characters with the machine notorious for failing named Kenny. This naming convention came about for no other reason than it allowed us to shout, "They killed Kenny. You bastards!" whenever something happened to that box.
