Previews

Going to a movie in the theatre has to be one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy seeing a movie on the big screen. For some reason, I don't feel as bad eating the equivalent of six bags of microwavable popcorn and drinking two litre's of coke because the theater calls that size medium. In the confines of the theatre, the popcorn and drink actually look like the proper amount for a reasonable person to consume.

Everything has been going great so far. I don't even mind that I can't read the free magazine because it's too dark. Now it's time for the the commercials, which I'm not even going to get into on this post; it will surely show up at a later date. What really bugs me these days are the previews. I will actually close my eyes if it's a movie that I really want to see because I know if I watch the preview, the ending will be given away.

Why not only show the first 30 minutes of a movie in a preview? If you can't cut together a two minute preview from thirty minutes of footage, then there's a problem with the movie. I'll take care of the popcorn though, they can leave that full length.
