    I keep seeing stuff about excessive ads before movies, like up to 30 minutes, and I was like, that has to be an exaggeration, because every time I go to the movies it’s 10 minutes tops. Maybe my area is just good or something.

    Then I took my kids to see Fantastic Four last week at an AMC, and lo and behold, 35 minutes of fucking ads.

    Fucking ridiculous. It’s noon on a Thursday, there are six people in the theater, and you want to waste that much of our time, for what? To advertise movies that I might see in some other theater because I’m never coming back to an establishment that holds such disdain for their customers?

    My 6-year-old and 3-year-old deserve fucking medals for their patience, and AMC is never getting my business again.

        You have to get seats online now even though they aren’t actually sold out, they reserve some for in person, but it doesn’t look like it when looking online. So you don’t really have to be there early.
