Comments on: Loews Cineplex to Publicize the Start Times of Feature Presentations http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/loews_cineplex_to_publicize_the_start_times_of_feature_presentations/ Online Journal of Politics and Foreign Affairs Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:29:17 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: John Anderson http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/loews_cineplex_to_publicize_the_start_times_of_feature_presentations/comment-page-1/#comment-44772 John Anderson Wed, 04 May 2005 11:11:14 +0000 /?p=10377#comment-44772 Loews is tying to head off trouble. While it has indeed been practice to have 10 or 15 minutes of trailers for upcoming flicks, ads for local concerns, and ads for "now available at the snackbar" it has recently gone to showing ads having nothing to do with theater or community - and people have been objecting. One group has a sign on-line you can print to put on your seat (if the theater does not object) for those minutes while you escape to the lobby to talk with your friends (or whatever).

I had to insist more strongly that previews have their own value. I once had a girl friend who insisted on timing cinema arrivals 30 seconds before the feature began.
