A new bill introduced in Connecticut would force movie theaters to list
00:03
the movie's real start time.
00:06
This means that you could time your visit to skip the ads
00:09
and trail before finding your seat.
00:11
You know whoever introduced this bill was probably fed up.
00:15
Yeah, dude, they probably saw that too many times and
00:17
so they crashed out,
00:18
like, you know what,
00:19
we need to fix this,
00:19
we need a bill.
00:21
Honestly, I'm here for the pre-movie experience.
00:23
I, I, I actually really like it,
00:26
especially when I'm there with someone,
00:27
you know. It's the perfect time to pass out the snacks
00:32
fix the seat,
00:34
get a couple of jokes in,
00:36
make fun of the movies coming out,
00:37
like, ah, that one looks cheesy.
00:39
Oh, don't they have better ideas?
00:41
Hollywood lost his way.
00:43
That's cool, but nah,
00:45
that, because look,
00:46
I'm already paying to watch this movie.
00:48
I don't want more ads,
00:50
right? And also we have assigned seating.
00:52
Before we had to show up for this,
00:54
we kind of stuck watching the trailers,
00:55
but if we can just show up right when it starts or
00:57
5 minutes before, I'm cool with that.
00:59
Like I don't know.
01:00
I feel like this bill,
01:02
this guy's on to something.
01:03
Well, how about this?
01:04
Why don't they put a little clock on the screen that counts
01:07
down. Until the movie starts,
01:10
I think that could solve the problem.
01:12
I like that because if I decide to show up early because
01:15
the parking is always a bitch or whatever,
01:16
like I walk in,
01:17
cool, 20 minutes,
01:18
I can go take a dump.
01:19
I can go get some food and I'll be right back.
01:22
Yeah, OK, I think we're on something.
01:24
Let's do it. Let's do it,
01:25
brother. See? And what do you guys think?
01:27
Do you guys like this new start time policy?
01:30
Or do you wanna keep watching whack ass trailers?
