No way I would pay whatever it is theaters want these days to wait through God knows how many minutes of BS preview and advertisements to get what you paid to see.
There was a time in my faded memory when previews were sort of fun. From what I gather, Hollywierd had screwed that up along with everything else.
Movietone News then Serialized Perils of Pauline or some such, followed by the Cartoon. Admission 10 cents popcorn five cents as was a small coke.
Movie theaters are so 20th century, I don’t need ‘em.
And the multiplex theaters are fairly small & packed with people coughing and sneezing. I don’t need that either.
If they handed out bubble bags and remote controls, so I could stop the show and go pee, and if they charged a dollar to get in, and brought free popcorn to our seats and rubbed our feet ... I still wouldn’t go.
I look forward to previews. I didn’t detect any sort of social engineering in the movie. Just a good war flick. Sometimes something is lost on the small screen. I have to admit though I see lots of things on the large screen. I have a local theater where we can get two tickets, two slices of pizza and two craft beers for less than $30 bucks so its a good value date night. I did go to a major chain for this movie and it was $11 but they had IPA’s for $6 which isn’t bad for the movies.
On the base here, it's worth going to a movie just to rise for the playing of the anthem before they show the flick!
