    I keep seeing stuff about excessive ads before movies, like up to 30 minutes, and I was like, that has to be an exaggeration, because every time I go to the movies it’s 10 minutes tops. Maybe my area is just good or something.

    Then I took my kids to see Fantastic Four last week at an AMC, and lo and behold, 35 minutes of fucking ads.

    Fucking ridiculous. It’s noon on a Thursday, there are six people in the theater, and you want to waste that much of our time, for what? To advertise movies that I might see in some other theater because I’m never coming back to an establishment that holds such disdain for their customers?

    My 6-year-old and 3-year-old deserve fucking medals for their patience, and AMC is never getting my business again.
