Wow, I have not gone to a movie in a long time, 30 minutes of trailers/ads? Good lord that is ridiculous. I think it was 15 minutes last time I went.

And then there was some guy with his phone out taking pictures of the screen once the film finally started.

I remember when VHS tapes also came with ads. Then DVDs that wouldn’t allow you to move forward.
