    I’m always taken aback by people who complain about the leading ads. Been going to movies 20-minutes late for over 20-years. Yet everyone acts surprised and annoyed that ads lead in.

    But yeah, I’d love an Alamo around here. We had a place with $1 movies. You could eat and drink, move your chairs around, all that. :(

      My gripe, at least with amc is that the ads/trailers start at the “showtime” and are still 30 mins. The “showtime” should be when the actual movie starts. I show up 25-30 mins after posted time to skip most ads. It just doesn’t make sense to me. I’d honestly prefer a trailer free movie experience.

      Legitimately it may have been that I missed when they decided to make that change as I hadn’t been to a mainstream theatre in years and took my kids to see something.
