So last night I decided to go see Burn After Reading (Okay, not the Coen Brothers' best, but better than most of the crap that comes out nowadays). So the movie starts at 7:50, so I plan that I should be there by 7:40, give me time to get a ticket, get to the theater and sit down, and nowadays they start about 5 minutes early because of all the commercials that start even before the previews. So I get into my seat at 7:40, and there are 10 other people in the theater. I sit down and get comfortable (take my pants off). When the theater goes dark around 7:48 there are maybe 20 people there now. However, through the next 15 minutes (through the previews and the first 5 miutes of the movie) about 100 people end up coming into the theater. I have to stand up 6 times to let people in and now there are people in front of me, and I can't even enjoy the first 5 minutes of the movie because there are all kinds of people moving around getting to their seats.
How difficult is it in todays world to know when a movie starts and get there on time? It makes me sick how much people don't care about getting to anything on time anymore. If I owned the theater I wouldn't let anyone in the movie after the lights go down, too late. We have your money, but you don't get to see the movie, too sad.
