Similar to when you buy a DVD/Blu Ray and have to sit through 10 minutes of fucking ads even though you already paid $20 for the fcuking thing.
PIRATES DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT! THEY JUST CLICK ON A MOVIE AND GO!
People have things to do, don't turn it into an all night thing.
Yeah, I'm really fucking angry about how offensive the ads were. 40 minutes of cinema ads, only 4 trailers (man on a ledge, hobbit, some best man "comedy" and film about an alien invasion by lightbulbs). The rest of it was ad after ad, padded out with a "meet the stars" 'program' hosted by one of those reality tv parasites who hopefully binges out on cocaine sometime soon. It was like watching Sunrise.
I'm only half joking when I make these predictions about the cinema experience in years to come:
* We will see the return of intermissions, so that more
ads consumer experience enhancement announcements can be screened. For your pleasure.
* Ticker lines will be added to the bottom of each screen with live news feed updates brought to you from your favourite brands and tweets from gretel kileen advising us which brand tampon is best used when watching Adam Sandler's Next Magnum Opus
* Ticket prices will double to account for the increased viewing time to incorporate all this bullshit
Further, when cinema attendances drop, the following features will be included in blurays to enhance your home cinema experience:
* Online pass codes/one time use codes
* Online connection will be required to view the film, and if the authentication server is down, you can only watch the trailers for the film
* 40 minutes of advertising will be included on each disc, and for added convenience shall be screened to you before the movie, so you dont miss out on anything!
Some people may say i'm grumpy. Some will say I'm overreacting. Some will say I'm a pessimist. Some will say that I'm just looking at the glass as if it were half empty.
I'm looking at reality right now, and I am telling you this: there is no glass at all.
