watching the coming attractions in the movie theater as much as the movie you have paid to see?
I certainly do. I always want to be in my chair and watch every trailer they'll play.

Weird, not weird??

2. I like watching the trailers.
The only thing I don't like is the volume. The trailers seem to be even louder than the feature, which is plenty loud.

5. yes
unless the previews are for crappy movies. It's pretty much the only way I know what movies are coming out, since I don't have a tv, and never see the film adverts there.

6. same here, I enjoy the trailers...
my main beef though...I just watched Rocky Balboa a few days back, and there were 4 damn commericials....4...what the hell, I didn't pay big money to sit through a National Guard, Pepsi, Mucinex, and IZOD commericial...and if they have to show commericials, at least show some funny ones....damn.

But, the Transformer movie looks great, and Blood and Chocolate looks like a direct to dvd in a hearbeat movie.

7. I'm the same exact way; although, I rarely go to movies anymore
I'm so tired of the rude people in theaters who insist on chatting with their friends or on their cell phones during the movie so I've pretty much stopped going unless it's something I know I really really really want to see and can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

However, my On-Demand service provides free movie trailers for upcoming movies so I get my fix that way

9. must see coming attractions!
Not only must I see the coming attractions, but I must be one of the first 10 people let into the theater. I must sit in the center between the 3rd and 8th aisle. And everyone attending with me must be seated by the time the previews start, or else I worry and don't enjoy them.

I used to just go to the movies by myself. That way I can control everything.

My husband can stand to go with me...if we can ever afford a babysitter we may go to the movies again someday.

10. I'm with you - the movies are like a religious experience for me.
We could definitely make a team in movie-going.
