Frank and Ernest by Thaves for December 30, 2024

so will your supply of popcorn

These days they are already on ppv TV

No kidding

I like previews!

Coming soon to flop in a theater near you!

another reason I don’t go to movies

The best scenes are in the previews, now no need to watch the whole movie

Last time we went to the movies, there were previews for about 15 different movies. One of those sounded like something I would like to see. From now on, going to arrive late so I don’t have to sit through ads for movies I wouldn’t want to see anyway.

… and I’ll be asleep.

And you can watch all the previews for the sequel.

And then you have to sit through Nicole Kidman talking about magic.

Haven’t been to a theater since Oppenheimer. Nothing good to see… Do mIss getting the popcorn…!

Always liked the previews, many times they were better than the main movie…

Soft drink, popcorn, Milk Duds and…?

Wonder if any sequel has ever been as good as the original? Yes, I know some have become very popular, but as good as . . . ?

at least you won’t have to wait to find out what happens next. ;J

They must be waiting to watch Wicked

Isn’t that the truth? When I was a kid they showed one, maybe two, of the upcoming attractions. Now, with multiple screens they have to show what is going to be coming to all the screens. Also, now the sound is WAY too loud. When my wife and I went to see Ford vs. Ferrari we took foam earplugs.

By the time the previews aka trailers are over, the featured movie will be on Netflix.

Haven’t been to a movie in eight years. Forty minutes of ads before the trailers convinced me not to go anymore.

This is why, on the rare occasions I do still go to the cinema, I make sure to get an assigned seat and then show up 15 minutes late. I’ve generally found that this is a good time to ensure there are only a few previews left.

They don’t do sequels anymore. They do remakes.

Many, many years ago, I made such a fuss about this that wife said she would never go to another movie with me. We have never been to another movie, and neither one of us miss it at all! I did not pay to see ads, I paid to see the movie!! Also, stop letting people in AFTER the movie starts. I had to put up with these morons interrupting so theater could get their money.

The problem of going to the theater after all the previews is you get to sit in the end rows or you’re thisclosetothescreen.

Truth! I’ve gotten in the habit of getting there about 15 minutes after “starting” time. They’re usually still running previews or just starting the feature I came to see.

I regret not at all ceasing movie theater attendance

That’s actually a good line!
