That's very sad! I haven't been to Cinebarre recently, so I haven't experienced this yet. When did the change happen?

Also try Sundance Cinemas in the U-district. Not quite the full-restaurant-service of Cinebarre, but, the same basic concept (bar+food+movie). I was there recently for Rogue One. I don't recall whether there were any ads at the top of the movies or not, but if there were I don't recall them being egregious.
