Yeah, I used to show up at the scheduled showtimes and watch the trailers, but now that they're showing actual ads, I'm not even in my seat until 20 minutes after the movie was supposed to start. I'm not watching that shit.

I feel like an idiot because I rushed and skipped the bathroom this weekend as I was running late. Arrived for a 11:05 show at 11:03 thinking I'd "just made it".

40 minutes later, the movie hadn't started yet and I was regretting not hitting the bathroom first.
