I cant believe they show commercials in movies and people arent pissed

08-06-2004, 07:54 PM

I went to see Spiderman and they had fucking 10 previews for other movies, and THEN had 2 commercials, 1 for American Express, and then another for ING.

WHAT THE FUCK!? I have to pay $9.50 for a ticket, and I have to watch commercials on it?

doesn't this bug anyone else? I havne't gone to the movies in forever, i didnt know they do this now.

People are pissed. Enough people complained at my theatre that they are now starting the commercials before the acutal movie start time.

That's a viable revenue stream for the theatre. They get a small cut of the ticket price and survive off of the concessions. Commercials and ads on the screen beforehand bring in some nice money as well.

Still sucks that prices go up and we're actually paying to sit through ads.

Spend you some brain.

I dont mind commercials as long as they don't run over the start time..if they are just playing in that boring time while your waiting for a movie to start that's fine by me.

I just try to show up like ten or fifteen minutes late unless it is a movie that will be packed, but yeah its pretty fuckin gay. 9.00 for a ticket, 5.00 for a bag of popcorn, 4.00 for a coke and then they make you sit through bullshit commercials so they can make even more off of you

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

They've been doing it for awhile now. Alot of people have complained but they haven't done much about it as they make alot of money from the advertisers.

What bugs the fuck out of me is people bring their kids to even R rated movies and expect them to keep quite! When we went to see Spidey this fucker sitting behind me had a 6yr who would not sit still or shut up! Shit get a sitter or go Block Buster....what happen to the plan of having a "No Kids" showing of certian movies for people who want to watch the movie!
