Twenty minutes of suck
7.29.2004 6:09 PM \| Link	It seems like Regal Cinemas tries really hard to keep me annoyed before a movie! A few years ago they had that dumb little girl talking with the cowboy voice to remind me to keep quiet during the movie - I got so sick of it that I started trying to see movies at another theater chain. Recently they started showing The Twenty, which is 20 minutes of long commercials packaged up as "entertainment". I don't object to a few ads once the lights go out, and I love movie trailers, but showing an entire 20 minutes of crap is just wrong! The whole point of getting to a movie early with your friends is sitting there talking - maybe listening to some soft movie soundtracks and watching trivia slides on the screen. But now this pre-show stuff is so loud that you can't talk - it's too distracting! Believe it or not, I was even hushed by someone for talking during The Twenty! Do people actually think this junk is part of the show? I can only hope this thing will run its course and go away. Other folks feel the same way! Labels: life
