Yes, I do feel that way about other products I purchase, if there is some clearly creative effort that went into making the product. I do read the liner notes on CDs (and before there were such things as CDs, I used to read them on record albums, too). I've been doing that since I was ten years old. I also read the credits on computer and video games I play. I do draw the line, however, at windshield wiper installers, since that is really a very non-creative process (but, on the other hand, I do like to know where and when my car was manufactured, in the event that any defect trends that might be related to that time or place).

Which, if you re-read my post, is exactly what I called it -- RUDE.

If it's the first time watching a movie (theaters, dvd, movie channels), then yes. After several viewings of the movie, I don't care as much unless I really like the score. It aggravates me seeing them interrupted by *extras* or what have you on premium channels. I pay for *unedited*, *uncut*, and *commercial-free* programming DARN IT ( http://makeashorterlink.com/?R1B822E77 ), and the presentation is *NOT* over until the credits (and surprise scenes at the end, if any) are over!!! When they don't honor that, it is fraud in my mind. A small banner at the bottom like the Encore channels do is no big deal when it doesn't interfere with anything. It's when I can't experience the denouement by not being able to hear the score!!! I really don't sit there and try to read them, unless it's a comedy like Hot Shots, then I'll watch for something.

Anyway, I can't think of any really good examples where I liked to listen to the music score at the beginning of the end credits right now, but probably movies like Child's Play 3 or the first Mortal Kombat movie. I don't know...it's just a better experience than on a basic cable channel where you don't get that experience.

If they aren't showing me something besides the credits and some song, those credits are turned right off. I can't imagine watching them.

I don't even bother watching the movie- I only buy DVDs for the menus. If I buy a DVD that starts the movie right away with no menu, I throw it out!
