You know whats worse..You know what’s NOT good times at a theater.. 27 minutes of trailers before the movie…
With movies getting longer and longer and now pushing 2-1/2 hours.. my bladder is really pinching it..
You know whats worse..
Your partner running late and says "Don't worry they always start 30 minutes in because of the trailers and its the one time they don't and you miss 20 mins of the movie!...
Dude my girlfriend.. sits through all 27 minutes of trailers and when the red marvel logo starts peeling away she goes “I gotta go pee!!!” And flys to the bathroom missing the first 5 minutes of the movie.You know whats worse..

8 years, quiting April 2006.How long did you work at the theater? I thought I remember you saying
Funny you should mention this exactly! We talked about this same thing when pulling into the theater and just seeing the large AMC sign.. no more movie titles under it “remember the movie titles under it”This isn't too old of a problem, but the theater marquees near me don't even bother to list their movies any more. Now it's just info on how to buy tickets online or other nonsense. I used to love driving by and seeing what's currently showing, but alas.
I don't even think the hotline to check screening times are a thing anymore.
Totally forgot about that.. my theater was like that too, single isle down the middleOh, man, calling for times.
Until digital, one had to be very cognizant of which screen a multiplex was using for the time you wanted. They'd have one or two big houses with good sound systems, and the rest would be tiny, have the aisle in the middle of the room, and mono sound. So I'd have to call to get an actual person to tell me which showtimes were using the good ones.
For similar reasons one needed to see a movie in its first week, because after that it would go to one of the crap screens.
