Theaters now paid to play even more trailers
-
In the not so near future:
-
Phone ringing.
-
Joe: Hello?
-
Bud: Hey man, you want to go see a movie tonight?
-
Joe: Sure man. How bout Clash of the Titans?
-
Bud: (in his best Liam Neeson voice): Release the Kraken!!!!! So, what time does the movie start?
-
Joe: Um, it says 7:15.
-
Bud: No, man, what time does the movie actually start?
-
Joe: Huh?
-
Bud: Well, first you got about ten trailers. Then the lights dim, and you think it's movie time, right? But then the commercials go. M&M's, red and green for Christmas.
-
Joe: Wow.
-
Bud: And I haven't even gotten to the dancing condiments.
-
Joe: So, what time do you think?
-
Bud: 9:30 should give us plenty of time.
-
Joe: Whoah.
