    The last movie I went to a theater to see, the ads and trailers went on for 30 minutes after the movie was scheduled to start. Indeed sir I paid to see a moving picture, not listen to claptrap and ballyhoo.

      Yeah that is one reason starting to hate the movie theater. I don’t care you run ads before the movie but if it supposed to start at 8 then goddammit it better start at 8. Also STOP FUCKING SHOWING ADS FOR YOUR THEATER AT THE FUCKING THEATER! I am already here don’t need to advertise it. That one the stupidest thing ever.

    And now movies themselves are more ads than actual stories.

    Products designed to sell celebrities and ad space while generating stupid amounts of fanboy money from another milked sequel to a long dead movie.
