Dream on.  The same thing happened when I saw the preview in Berkeley,
but Berkeley and Cambridge tend to cater to a certain type of moviegoer...
the type of moviegoer who likes "Enormous Changes at the Last Minute" or
"Stranger Than Paradise".  "Rocky IV" won't be a hit in Berkeley
or Cambridge, but it'll be a HUGE success in Des Moines and Cleveland.

P.S.  Sorry if this sounds snobbish.  I don't mean it to.  In fact,
I'll probably see Rocky IV and enjoy it.
