In A World... ps if the movie trailer goes on for more than 30 seconds it may not be worth watching. If it goes on for three minutes and summarizes the movie, you have just seen the best parts of the movie and don't have to go now that you know everything.

Movie trailers almost make me want to get up and leave. Seriously...15 minutes of movie trailers before the movie begins. I remember it used to be maybe 2-3 trailers. Today, while before watching Prometheus...I counted 7 trailers. [xx(]

Concur. If I knew I could get a decent seat, I'd wait about 20 minutes from the posted showtime to show up.[:(!]

Okay, here's the thing.... A) Because of the new digital broadcast before movies, both the sound and the picture of the trailers and commercials look better than the movie itself. B) It use to be that you could meet friends at movies and chat a bit before the previews, catch up and such. Now you can't do that because you are being blasted by Do the DEW! C) Seriously, no market research or understanding of audience. Not all audiences are young teenagers. I do not understand, nor do any of the other 6 people who attend the viewing of a documentary or a Woody Allen film have any reason to be blasted by Do the DEW!. If anything it gets us mad about both Mountain Dew and the theater. D) If they really did understand these viewers they would have more craft beer on tap being sold before the movie started.

This and the price are the reason I have paid for a movie at the theater maybe three times in the last 5 years. (other than the $2 place). The Hobbit will be the next one I would actually pay for. Mostly I just wait for dvd/blu rays & Netflix. I miss the really nice ones in Wichita where you could order food and drinks and the seats were like recliners. They were doing that in the early 90's before that became a trend in the bigger cities.

We still have a dining theater in DePere. Homemade Pizza, garlic bread, hot dogs and pitchers of beer (bmc).
