Last time I went to a theater they played so many ads past when the movie should already have started that I very nearly left, thinking I was in the wrong room. My hand was literally on the door when the movie actually started.
Never been back. Fuck you. Start the fucking movie when you advertise the start time.
At my local cinema they usually play around 5 to 10 minutes of ads before a movie.
But I still remember one particular movie where it just didn’t stop and they blasted jewelry ads left and right for a whole 22 minutes. It was “Wish” from Disney.
That whole ordeal made the movie even worse.
I do like seeing trailers, because I get excited for new movies, but fucking jewelry ads? Those are the lowest of the low. I’m sure they would’ve played gambling ads next, if that was allowed in Germany.
A friend of mine is super anxious about being late for stuff. This did not jive with my desire to be as late as possible to films. My ideal time to take my seat is about a minute before it starts. I already paid for a ticket, fuck off with your adverts.

The wild part is that’s what we did. The ads I described were almost entirely after the movie WA’s advertised as starting.
It was genuinely like a 7 start time for the movie that didn’t actually start until something asinine like 7:40.
That’s exactly what I mean though - I want to be much later than the advertised start because it’s a damn lie.
