I guess I never was much of a movie-goer. Some folks do go quite frequently.

But for me once a year seems about right. My last trip a few days ago reminded me of why I only go once a year or so. The movie was good but the experience was not.

So we got there a few minutes early and as expected, we saw a few previews. But then after the movie was scheduled to start, we had another 20 minutes of previews and ads.

Of course if we allowed for that and came 20 minutes late, it would be one of those times the movie starts on time or maybe just less than 20 minutes late.

Going to the movies used to be fun. It is getting less so and my annual trip reminded me of that.
