I'd be okay with trailers being at the end. Which according to wikipedia is where the word originally came from. Would also like the alcohol ads to be dropped, but thats a general pet peeve.

    I wonder if that worked better because old movies tended to have the credits at the start of films. So to wouldn't have to wait for 5+ mins to see the trailers

    Maybe? My guess is once they started stuffing ads in people lost interest and left, so they had to do them up front?
