Can anyone answer this question>

why the hell when you go to the cinema do you have to watch bloody adverts? if it was free to go to the cinema i'd understand but you have to pay so surely you shouldn't have to be forced to watch them?

 

[j0z]

Because most of the money they make goes to the studios.
They have to make money somehow.

Yeah, most of the money from tickets goes to the studios, so they make up for it with all those very long ads at the beginning of the movie.
It could be worse, they could have commercial breaks.

 

[darkless]

Because without those advertisements they would probably have to charge you double.

thats life? Theres adverts EVERYWHERE. Just...

... show up 10 minutes after the movie is scheduled, and stop complaining.

 

[ZeroMachine]

You also pay for TV and have to watch advertisements there.

And the internet. Advertisements are there.

Also, advertisements are at sporting events. And you have to pay out the ass to get into those.

It's an advertising world. You'll find advertisements everywhere, free or not.

And get crappy seats.

 

[kiteboy]

the adverts you see on tv then get the pleasure to watch AGAIN on the big screen are just arse.

the trailers on the otherhand i think are part of the movie experience and i personally really enjoy them.

 

[wrecker77]

Because the people working the projector hate you.

You know what you did.

 

[Trivun]

Am I the only one who loves the adverts? Normally I hate ads on TV, but at the cinema I think they're awesome on the giant screen, especially the Orange adverts (UK only I think...). Plus the trailers are often worth the admission alone

 

[KarumaK]

Do not insult the pre-movie advertisements. They're usually more awesome than the movie anyway.

you're not, just come in a bit later.

the adverts are like a minute here, then there's the trailers which I often enjoy more then the actual movie.

Not if you send in a friend (aka SUCKER) to reserve you seats, Or pay that lil bit extra & get premier numbered seats.

The only refuge we have is in our dreams... and that refuge will be gone in 1,991 years

You could stop complaining about the adverts. There's no reason to hate them; most of them are fairly entertaining, except for the genuine commercials.

 

[gentleben]

One surefire cure for advertisements is to take a teaspoon of cement and harden the fuck up.

So my options are be a jerk or buy premium seats which don't exist in any theater I know.

 

[MaskedMori]

I find the previews to be entertaining.

 

[YukoValis]

are you kidding? Sometimes the opening advertisments are the best part of the movie. You can also boo and cheer a little bit more easily. They have had ads in movies for a long time now, no use complaining

Or sit through mind numbing ads.

Although the old orange ones were funny - "can we get a tighter jumper on cheerleader #3"

Really, advertisments are 10 times better on a giant screen. At least they don't interrupt the movie every 5 friggin minutes
