Random Factoid #543

22 01 2011

Why do we bother to get to a movie that starts at 10:40 on time, rather than at 10:55 when the movie actually starts?  When it isn’t to assure ourselves of a good seat, it’s to kick back and watch the trailers for upcoming movies.  They tell us what we have to look forward to (or what to dread, cough “The Lincoln Lawyer”) and renew the circle of life that is moviegoing.

However, for some strange reason, AMC Theaters seems to stifle that chain when you go see a movie that hasn’t been released in the incredible recent past.  They never change the trailers from opening day, even if the movies have ALREADY OPENED!

It’s such a trite complaint, I know, but it really gets under my skin when I sit there and watch 15 minutes of previews for movies that I’ve already seen.  Just add it to my list of complaints about the theater chain between this, their ticket taker, their disgusting floors, their poor sound quality, their blaring hallway music, their constantly broken projectors,

Darn it for having cheaper tickets, free parking, easy accessibility, and good movie selection.
