      Cannot get my head around this complaint. They don’t lock the doors at show time, so roll in 20-minutes late. That’s what we did for Superman. Caught a couple of trailers then the movie started.

          Fine, be offended by the lie! No problem. But my point was that no one is forcing you to watch the ads and trailers.

              Meh. You’re smart enough to figure the actual run time. Hating the lie is good enough! I just won’t ban theaters over it. Rare enough that we go anyway. Once a year at most? And even then, only for something that excites me.

          I actually timed it at the last two movies I went to because I find that annoying too. It’s 18 minutes, including trailers (which I don’t mind) where I live.

          So I planned to show up 10 minutes after show time.
