#655 When you get to your seat just as the previews are starting

movie seatPlop down on those fat plushy seats, take a long drag of ice-cold cola, and let your eyes adjust to the big flickering screen. Slideshow guessing games and car commercials are long gone and now only the good stuff awaits. Time to get into it, get comfortable, and get your brain ready for a couple solid hours of

  1. Nothing worse than squeezing by theatre goers when they just start enjoying the movie. However, by the time the previews are finished I’m ready to refill by popcorn.

  2. Instead of watching the news, I decided to start each morning with a TED talk and came across yours from 2011. Your site is exactly what I was looking for and needed – thank you!! Looking forward to #656.

  3. I have some friends who are delighted when they show up just in time for the movie — as in, when the trailers are already finished. But I LOVE the trailers! My perfect timing is when I miss the regular television-style commercials, but arrive for the movie previews. That’s gold.

    1. I love the trailers too!!!!!! Its great to sit there and say to yourself that that movie looks great and you can’t wait to see it… or that movie looks horrible.

  4. YAY for the calendar coming out!!!!
    I like to get to the movies as early as possible so I can get a good seat, so I’m there like 20 mins before the previews start.

  5. This happened to a friend and I just a few weeks back and thank goodness the previews were so great because the first 2 lines in the movie were SO BAD we had to leave and thankfully were refunded! Great popcorn and previews though:)
