Cannot get my head around this complaint. They don't lock the doors at show time, so roll in 20-minutes late. That's what we did for Superman. Caught a couple of trailers then the movie started.

    Because calling it the “start time” is a lie.

    Fine, be offended by the lie! No problem. But my point was that no one is forcing you to watch the ads and trailers.

    It also means that I don’t know when the movie ends because the run time doesn’t matter anymore.

    But it’s mostly the lying.

    And the ads.

    Meh. You're smart enough to figure the actual run time. Hating the lie is good enough! I just won't ban theaters over it. Rare enough that we go anyway. Once a year at most? And even then, only for something that excites me.
