if i pay for a fucking cinema ticket why is it normalized that they air 20 minutes of ADS, i PAID for the movie fuck off

Because it takes at least HALF A FUCKING HOUR FROM START TIME TO THE ACTUAL MOVIE

during commercials at the movies

Yeah, you eat all the snacks during the previews so you don't make excessive noise and disturb others during the actual film

Me paying a premium to watch a movie in a cinema: Still have to watch 30min of ads, expensive drinks and snacks, have annoying subs in my language, no leg space.

Me downloading a movie and watch it on my beamer: No ads, pause whenever I want, cheap drinks and snacks, nice English subs, comfortable couch with endless leg space, no one complaining when I take a bump of cocain to counter the alcohol.

Movies over 2h gotta have a halftime to go pee and buy more popcorn

There is plenty left on the floor in that picture

Before The Movie 2

Then you spend the rest of the movie with greasy, gritty fingers, an odd taste in your mouth, and a wayward kernel stuck between your teeth.

No thanks; I keep my popcorn eating to home movie watching, where I can pause to wash my hands, refill the snack tray, and floss my teeth if needed.

Must restrain self.... eats half the popcorn... god that's salty AF but so good... Drinks 1/2 gallon of soda...

breaks the seal before the movie starts, followed by one trip half way through and my right leg tapping during the climax and busting out to the bathroom 10 sec into the credits.

This is soooooo me.

Its OK though, youll have a whole cinema performance to distract you from your popcornless existence.

The popcorn exists solely to get you through the adverts.

I love our little local indie cinema. Super comfy recliners, they don't deliver your food until after it starts. And the food is fucking soooo good. We got huge (gotta be over 2 lbs) of nachos with chicken, pico, cheese, avocado, for $14. Between the two of us we couldn't finish it.

What are you all doing watching ads in cinema xD

Either I am 20 minutes late or I don't come. I refuse to be on time - I am here for a movie, not ad stream xD

Every time I go on a date in the movies, I get the popcorn and cut a hole in the bottom so my penis can be in there for them to find as a surprise. This was especially exciting during those years when I was a woman.

Yeah, but what about second popcorn box?

IMAX is a fucking scam. I want a 30% refund for every IMAX ticket I've ever bought.

Eat before watching the movie, eat after watching the movie.

If you still crave popcorn then buy after the interval cause climax will be the best place to not have snoring stomach.

Best $30 spent at the movies.

Introducing snacks into theaters was a dipshit idea.
