And so continues the Something's Gotta Give miniseries...
This afternoon's movie was scheduled to start at 12:10. As if. Advertisers must love movie goers. Is there a more captive audience? You've paid big bucks for the flick so you've got your over priced food and you're comfy in your seat when the lights dim and...the commercials begin. You can't leave, you can't read and you can't talk to the person beside you. You really have no choice but to watch the ads. And ads there are many...
I counted a solid half dozen commercials before the coming attractions which are essentially commercials for other flicks. Sometimes the coming attraction can be entertaining when it's a movie you're looking forward to or even one you're just curious about. When the coming attraction is for a dog with fleas you care nothing about, it can be deadly. I don't think this movie actually began until after 12:30. I was forced to watch at least 20 minutes of damn advertisements.
When did the pre-movie adverts become so bloody preachy? We were hit with one ordering us to quit smoking, another ordering us not to buy smokes for kids and another I can't remember preaching at me about something or other. I'm here to see a movie...stop preaching at me!!!
