yes I've seen that too.  There really must be some kind of
organization already formed to lobby or protest these practices,
which if you're already a little paranoid about the corporate
nature of the media business makes you want to exchange the
opening credits- where the money people have their 20 seconds
or so- putting them at the end where they'll get chopped off by
their own practices, and putting the (formerly) end credits at
the beginning of the film.  This could be a great popular
movement, and only awaits the involvement of some hypercharged
Hollywood activist like Rob Reiner.
