Any moviegoer who tediously sits through the trailers before the movie starts would connect to this news instantly!
A US state lawmaker has proposed a new law requiring movie theatres to disclose trailers and movie start times.
State Senator Martin Looney of New Haven, Connecticut, proposed the bill to "require that each movie advertisement or listing include, and separately list, the scheduled start time for the movie trailers and advertisements that precede the advertised or listed movie, and the advertised or listed movie."
Senator Looney said, "It seems to be an abuse of people's time. If audience members want to get there early and watch the promos, they can."
"But if they just want to see the feature, they ought to be able to get there just in time for that," he added.
The proposed new law has been appreciated by moviegoers, who have long lamented the length of the advertisements and trailers played before the feature film.
