    I used to go to a movie theatre that made their own skits to play before a movie would start. They’d take public domain movies, yank about 3 minutes out of it and dub them with corny dialog.

    Man… I miss that place. 10000% beats commercials and the same exact trailer design for every single movie preview.

      I remember one time we rushed to the movie theater to get in time. We were a bit late to the theater, but we knew there would be commercials, so that was ok.

      What we didn’t know was that the commercials would go on for what felt like one hour. Just ridiculous. We could’ve grabbed a beer on the way and still not miss the movie.
