//	Now the Village Voice, shamelessly table-based in layout
//	and altogether ugly (especially after a recent redesign),
//	does offer one thing of value on their website, namely
//	a select-box-based listing of all the films showing
//	in New York City. But the select box is too small to show any
//	title over 8 characters and the film descriptions stretch
//	down their eensy column one or two words to a line.
//
//	This script fixes that and leaves the rest alone.
//	Oh, and it strips out the classified ads to make room.
