| Psychopath Registered: May. 01  | anyone been to the movies recently? i went today to see The Score and it was pretty good, but thats beside the point. remember how they used to only show movie trailers before the feature presentation? well, now they have fuckin commercials for everyday products. i swear to god, i felt like i was still sitting at home watching tv. they pull at least 5 mins of commercials on you, THEN hit you with movie trailers that always seem to be getting longer and of course theres only maybe 1 or 2 good ones in the pack of 15 or so you have to suffer through. i gotta say this new trend of this commercial before the preview bullshit is really pissing me off, anyone else agree??..... | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | Where have you been? When I went to see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within there were almost twice as many commercials as trailers (given it was a different theater; I usually see 5, 6 commercials at my usual theaters not 12) and all those commercials suck. 3 SUV commercials, ponderous f'ing ponderous. There was also a commercial for the Will Rogers Institute with Anthony Hopkins doing a bunch of Hannibal Lecter lines- are you going to trust him to tell you how to save people? And I don't need to see the Green nude M&M commercial again. Anyway, I like trailers even if they suck but hate those commercials.

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | Yeah I noticed this two years ago when it seemed I went to the movies all of the time between American Pie, South Park, Sixth Sense, etc. It's just increased since then. It's pretty damn sad. And why do all of the new trailers suck? Can't they come up with anything good. When I went to see Scary Movie 2 they showed like 6 trailers and the only good one was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back which was the last one they showed. Damn Hollywood sucks. ------------------- But there's also this: there are over 5,000 men in this city, who know that being a policeman is an endless, glamourless, thankless job that's gotta be done. I know it, too, and I'm damn glad to be one of them." | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | Could it be the trailers suck because the movies suck? American Pie 2 trailer was pretty funny though. The narrator in Fight Club is the man we will be, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho is the man we want to be Eliza Dushku- Hotter Than Britney | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Not only do they bombard you with commercials, they "entertain" you with movie trivia games. If I want trivia, I'll watch Jeopardy or You Don't Know Jack. And since we pay to get into see the movie in the first place, how come we have to see commercials anyway? Does it really cost a theatre that much to run a film and buy soda syrup? And, when I rent a movie from Blockbuster on VHS, I just hit fast forward for the first 9 minutes so I don't have to sit through endless trailers. Anyone else do that?

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | I've been on a movie haitus for a while so I don't really know how bad it's gotten. What used to annoy me was that stupid cartoon with the singing popcorn and hotdog, I mean why should popcorn cost 35 cents It's just not fair! Although I must say I can't wait for that movie about outter space and those laser swords to come out, it looks neato! This message was edited by Opie's Sack Lunch on 7-15-01 @ 9:14 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Best invention yet, Big screen TV, home theatre Dolby 5.1 and DVD. I don't go to the theaters, I wait for it to come out on DVD. Then I don't have to even fast forward through the ads. Just start at the chapter that begins the movie. My popcorn, and soda is cheaper, my seat comfortably reclines, there are no loudmouth yentas yaking through the whole movie and if you feel like banging during the movie, you hit the pause button.

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | quote: Yeah that's fucking annoying. Another group are the laser pointer guys. I remember when I went to see the Sixth Sense I commented to my friend that I hadn't see a good movie theater rumble in a long ass time. Sure enough some guy starts using the laser pointer. Some big dude then gets pissed and hunts down the section it's coming and starts screaming and challenges him to take it outside. The laser pointer guy ended up being tossed. The whole thing was funny as hell. Then the movie kicked ass too so a fun time was had by all. ------------------- But there's also this: there are over 5,000 men in this city, who know that being a policeman is an endless, glamourless, thankless job that's gotta be done.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I got hit with my fist "at the theatre commercial" while I was on vacation. I was fuming. It wouldn't be so bad if they were doing it to reduce ticket prices, but no..... it still costs an arm and a leg just to get in.... nevermind the $5 soda and $4 popcorn. It will eventually get to the point where everybody just decides to wait until things come out on DVD. Screw the theatres! School's out, shouldn't you have a job?

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | About ten years ago (I think it was before Lethal Weapon 2), my local theatre showed Paula Abdul's new video at the time, "The Promise of a New Day," followed by a Coke commercial which she was in. I remember thinking to myself, "What the F is this shit?!" Little did I know that that was the start of a new disgusting trend in advertising. And what's the deal with those f'ing lame trivia questions? Now, that's what I call a great time-passer! I'd rather have my knee drained. And with the price to see a film being what it is, I ALWAYS try to go during bargain matinee times which most theatres seem to have, or else I don't go at all. Theatres should just start giving us baby blocks as we walk through the doors, and clunk us over the head in the dark of the theatre to pick our pockets, 'cause that's how retarded they take us for, and how greedy the industry has become.
