Agreed. I find comic book movies boring, so that removes a lot of options. I did go to the movies for the first time in ~3+ years to see 1917. Great movie. But, even with a movie I liked, the theater tried to ruin the experience by showing ~30 minutes of ads/preview prior to the movie.
Most theaters have reserved seating now. If you show up "on time" you're gonna get ads and previews. Go 20 minutes late; if you're early, walk out and chat or go to the little arcade they always have b
Oh really? That'd be awesome, when I moved to Germany a few years back where reserved seats are more standard it was such a big improvement for the experience.
I stopped showing up on time a few years back for the same reason. 30mins delay (ads 80%, trailers 20%). I find it insulting. When I was growing up I remember watching a couple trailers and that was that. A small scale captive audience experience. The other super annoying thing is that I consume all my poocorn before the movie even began.
