Kissing Jessica Stein irritated me more than not -- I didn't care if either of these people were happy by the end, and then there was the implausible thing to boot.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Always Anti-fascist!
I liked Jessica Stein, but nothing like my unholy "Chinatown" love!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Thanks again, Kathy. I was thinking there would be about 15 minutes of previews so I thought I'd get in on time. I guess they don't show too many with shows that have been there awhile, or are as long as this one.
A lot of movie theaters in my city are starting the previews before the listed start time for the actual movie, because they (the previews) have gotten so long that people started bitching about the movie not starting "on time." Maybe that's what happened with your theater, quester.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I don't usually mind the previews just the Coke, Fanta, Marine recruitment, and Buick commercials before the previews.

Yet another reason I love my tiny indie theater in my neighborhood. No commercials, and maybe 3 previews.

I like the Coke ad with the Queen song in it. The military recruitment ads that make war look like a video game piss me off; I hope the people they're aimed at can see through them.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
The theater I usually go to generally keeps it to the one Coke ad and two previews, but if I go to Portland, it's a mini-marathon of commercials.
The Coke ad I keep seeing now is the one for C2. I'm all for crazy dancing in the workplace, but I don't need low carb cola to do it.

Thrive to spite them
I watched Alien v Predator on dvd last night. They have an extended edition option, but it seems like they just stuck in shots of the Predators to make it really clear that yo! it's the Predators doing this mysterious stuff. Over all though I liked it better the second time around, but I think they could have spent more time with the chick Lex and the Predator fighting together and not as much on establishing the story and the characters at the beginning.

brillig
Aliens vs. Predator needed more decent fights between the Aliens and the Predators. There was the one cool fight that showed the different moves, but the rest were pretty much "Bunch of Aliens over here, bunch of Predators over here, turn up the soundtrack, now lots of quick shots and fast cuts."
Besides, anyone who read the comic books knew the twist.

I like assloads of previews, and very few ads. Star Theatres in Michigan, in addition to having about the most comfortable seats in metro Detroit, started previews before the listed time, like Steph mentioned. Plus they had previews running in the lobby, and seating so you could really watch them.
Wonderful.
