Why spending $2 is necessarily bad? I could be buying advertised product that actually improves my life that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. While it's not the case all the time, there's no explicit loss to you in spending more.
Also in regard to TV, ads are needed even for simple toilet breaks. Excessive ad amount such as 20 minutes per hour is definetely way to much, but some time off the show makes sense in broadcasting where the user can't pause the show whenever they want.
- jeena 8y agoThere are no toilet breaks at my cinema either, what's the difference to TV?
- fnord123 8y agoThere are intermissions in films > 2 hours in European cinemas.
- Tomte 8y agoIn some cinemas, for some especially long films. I have only encountered breaks twice: for Titanic and Pearl Harbor. Infinity War had no break where I went to watch it.
- setquk 8y agoInfinity war had an hour long intermission before anything started for me :(
- isostatic 8y agoWe were sat outside the cinema drinking a coffee and talking, the ushers were very concerned we were missing the 8pm showing. Walked in at 8.30 as normal, still had 10 minutes of trailers. Cinema adverts acknowledge that nobody likes them, and cinemas wonder why people do t turn up. Perhaps they should stop treating paying customers as a product.
- fnord123 8y agoInfinity War, the latest Star Trek, and the Hateful Eight had intermissions when I went to see them.
- isostatic 8y agoI've never had an intermission in any film (unless you count 12 months waiting for the sequel), although I can't think of anything longer than 3 hours. That would be horrendous, and would certainly mean I don't visit the cinema.
