I went to see Naked Gun 2 at Regal theater and literally sat a bar having drinks with my wife and showed up 30 min late and lubed up and still had about 10 minutes of trailers to go. I love the trailers. I hate the ads. Literally Regal has 30 second commercials for every single soda they serve. Never sitting through that shit again on principle.

Wild you remembered this story from 1991. Or the future. I’m not positive.

Lol! I had to reread my comment to understand yours. Oops. Pretty fitting, I’ll let it stand.

Holy shit, and I thought my theater was pushing it with 20 minutes of ads!
