I am writing a report for my Astronomy class on the movie "In the Shadow of the Moon" and I must take a break to say how much I love the movie, but HATED the pre-show!!!!!!
I had not been to see a movie in a theater that shows commercials for quite a while, so what I saw when I arrived absolutely shocked and sickened me. Instead of the slideshow of movie trivia and advertisements that silently repeat in a loop paired with the bad radio station music, I was forced to sit and watch tv commercials for 15 mins.
The " First Look Movie Watchers Network" which claims to be a behind the scenes review of the latest and greatest is really just commercials for E-bay, tv shows, video games, phone companies, fast food, and of course, Coca Cola.
I do not go to the movies to watch tv. I now refuse to go to AMC movie theaters. If I want to watch commercials, I will stay home and save myself $11.
