The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

Man. I stopped going to movies when they started showing ads before them. If I pay you, you don't get to double dip with advertising imo. To see this is ludicrous, and I hope they all fail.

I've never known the movies to not have ads before them and I was born in 1970. How old are you? lol

Then you have a bad memory. This wasn't common until the 90's.

Or maybe you just assumed that everyone in the world lives in your country. You know, like the World Series?

That's a humorous take, because I've known so many people who went to see crappy movies because of the movie previews for something they liked. This was way before the internet took over as a way to see videos, but still, interesting to note the opposite.

Previews are one thing. I remember the very first time I saw an ad being shown in a movie. People BOOED.

And rightly so.

Now it's considered normal to advertise sugar water and so on....It's shameful.
