I can’t stand that intro.
What’s the point of it? We know movies are great, it’s preaching to the choir.
If AMC didn’t hit you with 30 minutes of trailers and commercials before it, it would be more tolerable.
By the time the movie starts. I’m saying “For God’s sake, start the f**king movie!”. Lol
That's one of the (very many) reasons I no longer go to a theater to see a film. The kid slurping his drink from the ice in the cup, the other guy sniffing every ten seconds like a snot vacuum, the sticky floors, the volume set at the threshold of pain, hearing people chomp on popcorn... gag...
I saw "Nosferatu" today and through the whole movie, a guy sitting two seats down from me kept pulling out his phone and looking at it and the glare from his screen (which he must have had turned up to 100% brightness level) kept hitting my peripheral vision. I wanted to choke the sh*t out of him.
One of the last times I went to see a movie (Open Range with Costner/Duvall) two couples came in and sat in the row ahead of me. Almost immediately they started talking. Then a guy's phone rang. "Hello?"
A guy behind me said, "Either turn off your phone or LEAVE!"
They didn't make another sound.
Strange, when I went to see Sonic 3 yesterday, they showed that bump. While I heard AMC intends to make a rotating set of similar bumps, I'm not sure if they're implemented yet. Might be on a theater-by-theater basis?
It never made sense to me how she goes on about how great it is to be at a movie theater, and at the end is sitting completely alone. It ends up looking like a private screening at her mansion.
That's how I felt when all the live-action Spider-Man movies were rereleased in the UK from August 2nd to September 22nd, yet none of the showings I went to had the following Sky tv ad as part of the pre-movie trailers, despite films released both before and after the marathon having it.
The Nicole Kidman AMC trailer is more entertaining than Babygirl unless you're just there for the kink. A much better movie on this subject is Sanctuary.
Sanctuary is a hugely better film about submission playing into all of one's life. Except that NK unwisely acts out her kink with an intern, Babygirl doesn't relate her high power in business to her sexual dissatisfaction.
“Except the whole thing she does and how there’s several conversations about power dynamics and reversals, what is and isn’t submission, and on and on”. This isn’t a movie about kink. It’s a movie about sexual dissatisfaction. You just want it to be something else.
She's dissatisfied because she's been too ashamed to tell her husband what she wants, and he can't read minds. Her business life would have been uninvolved if she hadn't picked an intern with whom to work out her kink. Unlike Sanctuary.
That should be mandatory at an AMC, and they should have made it even more meta by cutting in clips of Babygirl as if it were the movie she was watching.
Maybe they should have subbed someone else in to introduce "Babygirl," like when a cast member has to introduce the host on SNL if they're also the musical guest.

I've been considering it.
