Well, talk about sour grapes.
www.didntialreadypayforthismovie.com lists a whole load of companies you “should boycott” because they showed adverts for their products….AFTER the movie start time! Oh the horror!
I mean honestly. Does anyone get that irate about these things?
OK, if there’s 30 minutes of adverts before the films starts, yeah I get a little narked, but cinemas have to find a way to make money. Most of them lose money on ticket sales, so expensive food, adverts and trailers are the only way for them to make money.
It all goes back to an opinion piece I read years ago:
“If you leave the room during the advert breaks while watching your favourite TV show, you’re stealing TV.”
Ouch.
And on the way home, I was waiting at a busy bus stop. Four different stops all in a row.
Ever noticed how some busses seem to be the bully boys of the block? Take the 44. It’s a popular bus, so everyone want to get on it. As a result, every other bus had to wait for it to get finished before they could load up and move on.
