I look forward to the genuine previews. Its the coke and wirless commercials that strait piss me off. I don’t mind seeing previews of movies i may have interest in.
I saw a straight-up depressing ad at my last visit to the theater. A couple of guys are out back of a restaurant talking, and a third guy joins them.
Guy 1: What are you doing with your tax refund?
Guy 2: I’m going to buy some recording equipment and start that podcast I’ve always wanted to!

It would help if previews didn’t spoil the movie so often
