Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I like the ads. The production values are generally very high, and they're either funny or very mock-worthy.
edit: though that doesn't apply to the slide show of Coca-Cola bits and movie trivia and local ads that play in my theatres between all the movies.
Meanwhile, their audience is slowly dribbling away...
Yeah, I was thinking that whole not going to movies as much thing could be considered a silent protest. Although whether folks are protesting ads or the new Herbie movie is harder to determine.
I like the ads. The production values are generally very high, and they're either funny or very mock-worthy.
But I can see the same man-vs-ram Mountain Dew commercial on TV at home....
Friday's isn't so cheap that $50 would last long. Unless that's just the Special Manhattan Pricing. I went in one a couple of years ago, and was SHOCKED. We left and went to a pub.
It is the SMP. When I went there not only was it overpriced, our waiter smelled, the place was dirty and dingy, and there was a belligerent drunk at the bar who was arrested as we ate. All the chain restaurants in Manhattan seem to be dirtier than their counterparts elsewhere and dirtier than Manhattan restaurants in general. Why not try to blend in, eh?
I was walking the the Olive Garden the other day and noticed their entrance has "Bienvenuto!" on the door. Who do they think they're fooling?!
something to do besides talk to the person they came with.
Soooo. If I go to a movie by myself, can I get into the special, I-don't-need-to-avoid-intimacy, showing?
Heh. All I have to do is mention the words "Olive Garden" to my very Italian SIL, and she starts to gag.
I'm not even the tiniest bit Italian, and the words "Olive Garden" make me queasy.
Olive Garden is a parody of an Italian restaurant. The one time I went there I kept expecting to see an organ grinder with a monkey.

34th Street? That was the one I walked into, and out of. NAST.

I don't mind those slide shows, because you can talk through them AND they give you something to talk about. "Man, look at that nose job!"
The slide shows are fine, because they don't have blaring soundtracks. That's the part I don't like.
Wasn't the first ad (not trailer and not slide) shown in movie theaters a Michael Jackson Pepsi spot? Possibly the one that set him on fire? I remember seeeing that before something, but the aspect ratio was wrong and everyone was squooshed.
