“Yep, the previews are just getting longer and longer (approved for ALL audiences!); mixed with an extremely generous portion of TV commercials! Whatever happened to just showing the movie?!"“Aah, forget it, Ralph! Those olden days are gone forever!”
I routinely time the previews, so I know how late I can get to the theater and not miss the movie. They usually vary from 12 to 19 minutes. What I really dislike is all the advertisements beforehand.
One of the main reasons I never go to movies alone anymore, I just wait for the DVD or Blu Ray to go on sale. It usually cost no more than a ticket would and if the movie is any good, I can watch more than once for free.
One other thing: video rental used to be a thriving business back in the 1980s; and to a lesser extent, the ’90s. Nowadays? Nope. You can get your very own Netflix Account for next to nothing. Actually, a majority of people just buy the DVDs outright on Amazon; for about the price of a typical modern-day movie ticket!

I got two free passes to the movie house about a year ago and I’m still waiting for something I want to see.
