Last time I went to the cinema, they did the same, but the film started forty minutes late. People still wandered in just in time. I have to assume that the amount of rubbish they show before the film is pretty constant.

Going to the #cinema is not compatible with my habit of aggressively avoiding #adverts. That's one reason I don't usually go.

What new horror is this?

I’m watching an “in-video” advert on Youtube which is then interrupted by an enforced advert… which is then interrupted by another advert which I can’t skip for 30 seconds. When I do skip, I’m back to the original “in-video” advert.

I’m not interest in the slightest in any of the products advertised so wasted on me.
