Coming soon, 29 June at AMC

Seen before Hot Milk. The AMC website now admonishes "Movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime." They weren't kidding. A lot more commercials now. Maybe with all this new ad revenue, AMC can repave the parking lot which resembles the lunar surface with crater after suspension killing crater.

At showtime a series of commercials started that lasted about 6 minutes - Coke, pickup trucks - that kind of thing. This was followed by 3 minutes of AMC promos which finished with the Nicole Kidman one that freaks me out every time because her face doesn't look real anymore.

Then came a couple Fathom commercials. First was for Ick and the second for the Metropolitan Opera. The trailers proper then began.

Things ended with a Megan 2.0 commercial where she says to silence phones and see her movie.

Coming soon, 2 June

Seen before Tornado at AMC Fitchburg.

Relay. Cannot find a trailer for it. Huh

 

Coming Soon: 22 March @ AMC Fitchburg

Trailers at a screening of Ash. These followed a commercial for The Chosen: Last Supper and one for the Metropolitan Opera. Why do these Christian movies get commercials instead of trailers? Did the distributor pay to get their commercial shown? Do theaters get paid to run these movies or do they choose to screen them like other, secular/profane ones?

Summer approaches so now cometh the slasher flicks. While I had read some good words about Freaky Tales the trailer left me wholly unenthusiastic. Two red band trailers. They used to be as rare as hen's teeth and now they're not uncommon.
