Took the kids to see the Hobbit today and we were treated to 40 ******* minutes of commercials and previews.
First it was Coca Cola, then Sprint, then an AMC infomercial, then an IMAX infomercial, then 5 previews, then another AMC infomercial.
Then just when I had had enough and thought the movie was going to start we were treated to a 12 minute long preview of the next Star Trek movie. I know some people like the previews, but 40 minutes there hostage to be advertized to?
Years ago the theater was quiet until showtime, then it was 3 previews and the movie. 10 mins max. Tolerable. Slowly, slowly its been getting worse and today was the apex. Its just better to watch movies at home now.
