The movie was listed to start at 12:01 am. Unfortunately there were some ads to kick off the feature. The first <a href="http://www.ifilm.com/ifilm/genre/commercials/1,4986,,00.html">ad</a> was met with an ovation of boo's...followed by the next 8. Then came the trailers...another 6. Ironically, an actor from the movie was present and introduced <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Name?McKellen,%20Ian">himself</a> much to everyones enjoyment. However, he preceded to plug his next movie (aaaahhhh). Finally came the movie came...just under a half hour later.<br> Point -&gt; The whole process seemed to take the wind out of the start of the film. tag:metafilter.com,2002:site.22418 Wed, 18 Dec 2002 18:38:59 -0800 ads advertisingintheaters movie trailer lightweight
