Moodess and I went to the movies last week. We went and saw The Hangover.
The movie was great, but that's not what I'm here to discuss.
The Hangover was preceded by, and I'm not kidding, 20 minutes of commercials. Not the normal movie previews, but actual television commercials. I saw at least three car commercials, three different jeans commercials, and a slew of randoms. After about 12 minutes of this, the previews finally started. But I mean, what the fuck are television commercials doing on the big screen?
Since the surge of DVR usage many people who watch TV will simply skip over the commercials. So in a lame attempt to force people to watch their advertising. They've invaded the peaceful getaway of the movie theater with their sad attempts at artistic visions of their products.
Bastards!!
