Now, I don't often get on a soapbox and complain about things but this annoyed me. I went to the tranformers move today, which was good FYI. So, I get my sweettarts and pop, find myself a nice seat, and settle in for the next 2 1/2 hours of robot action. Well, before the previews had even started I found that the movie trivia questions had been replaced with commericals. Actually, commericals that I've seen on tv. Now, someone tell me why I paid 7.50 for the movie and then 8.50 on snacks to watch freaking commericals. That's the last thing I want to watch when I go into a movie theater. I can understand that the movie people think that they can probably make some money by selling advertising time, but that still annoyed me to end. They have a freaking Prius and camera commerical on before the movie and all I can think about for the first 1/2 hour is how annoyed I was.
It's getting harder and harder to get away from that kind of stuff itt seems. The radio, the tv, magazines, billboards, and just about everywhere else you have some company trying to stuff something down your throat. Movies always had commericals, but they were just previews and considering your at the theater it would make sense to promote upcoming films. I suppose the only way to get away from it would be to go completely off the grid.
Well, that's my two cents for what it's worth.
