I went to a Regal Cinema for the first time a few months ago and they played 20 minutes of ads that began at the advertised movie start times. Insane.

It's been that way forever, I remember looking at my watch and thinking about it in the 90s

Was that the first time you've ever been to the movies? It's been like that for decades. Always go in 20 minutes after the start time.

Last time I went it was in black and white and accompanied by an orchestra

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

I apologize, Captain Colonel Settlements.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It's always been that way. Previews interspersed with coke ads.

I went to my local theater expecting this and ended up missing the first ten minutes of Venom 3. I guess the moral of the story is... Shop local?

Win win.

That's stupid. Why would you go to the movies just to walk out before it even started?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If it’s past the start time and it’s not on then why would I expect it to come on?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because you're not a five year old.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We have different ideas of what start times mean

I do the same with sports

Reality trumps idealism.
You're wasting money and time refusing things you know are going to happen.
