If you setup Hoyts correctly - it (almost) does.

There's a link on the homepage to select "Your" cinema(s). After setting
this the homepage will contain a list of whats on at your selected
cinemas. Works fine with images turned off, or even in Lynx.

If you've got javascript turned off (or you're using Lynx, etc) then
going to  http://www.hoyts.com.au/mod_perl/index?sendToPrinter=1  after
setting up your cinema then you'll get a text only (well, text plug one
small image) view of the above. With javascript on this will bring up a
"Print..." dialog which you can just cancel.

  Scott.
