advertisements before movies

[lcpja]

This was briefly touched on in another topic...but i want to know, what's your opinion about the advertising before movies? (in the theater specifically)

 

 

Good idea? does it work? or is it just plain annoying?

[Crusader]

Saying the movie starts at 10:10 but then having to wait through 45 minutes of commercials is not cool. They're overdoing it..

I really dont mind how they do it right now... im not complaining ;)

[Vainglory]

I'm always late for movies, so I like having extra time to get there.

I just find that it's frusterating b/c you have to watch commercials when you watch T.V.

 

When you pay $10 or more to only see a 2 hour movie...can't we get a break.

[Crusader]

Always gives you more time to make the moves on your date err or your friends. Well no move making on your friends... maybe.

[Vainglory]

I don't mind the commercials, since I hardly ever watch TV.

The previews to new movies coming out is a good thing...

i dont mind commercials at all either.

[Boond]

well dan you just like movie commercials cause you were in one ;)...and I dont mind moview previews, its nice to see whats coming...but when you get honda commercials, or coke and pepsi, or other products or TV commercials it annoys me...one sees these commercials enough on TV already

yes i totally agree with this. When i asked this question originally i didn't mean to put movie previews into the commercial category...even though i guess it is.

 

I think i'd rather watch some extra movie previews then to see car commercials

I don't mind them all that much, as they give me more time to get to the flick since I know they'll delay the start time by at least five minutes.

[Boond]

try more like fifteen minutes...gah

[Jay]

15? Damn, if it got to that point, I'd just get the hell out of there.

I hate commericals at movie theatres. The more they charge, the more commericals they play, and the worse the theatre gets.

But I LOVE previews. I apperciate the art that is the movie trailer (for it is an art, boys and girls). 'Garden State', for example has one of the most amazing trailers I've ever seen.

Those damn fanta commercails.

i like theatre commercials cause there usually pretty entertaining but i hate tv commercials. they show the same ones every break and i just wanna fast forward.

[Crusader]

This is mainly what I think about those adverts:

 

"What is Alesse?"

[therethere]

i hate those adverts. i like the Stella Artois one though. saw that before Kill Bill 2 for the first time.

There was a movie I went to see, thought it started at 10:20, actually started at 10:05, but there at 10:25, just as the movie title was on the screen. So 20 minutes of previews if I came on time? Gah it's too much.

[Crusader]

The thing is, they don't always show teh advertisements so you don't know if it's going to start or if you're going to find out what Allesse is.

[running4home]

do u really not know what allese is?

[Crusader]

Well I know now! I kid, I've known it all along but it's just more funny to ask the person you're sitting next to what allese was.

[running4home]

that would be entertaining well maybe just if u were a guy

[Crusader]

It was pretty damn entertaining the first 15 times.

That's how they get you: You never know how long the previews will be so you try to show up on time. Then they throw 20 minutes or so of commercials at you.
