Coming Attractions

The theater gives you just a taste
Of what’s to be expected,
So if you don’t have time to waste
Some films may be rejected.

My husband hates them but not me
For I enjoy the peek
At movies I may never see;
I form a quick critique.

Some dialogue, the place it’s set
Is quite enough to know
If I will like it and I’ll bet
Reviews won’t make me go.

So keep ‘em coming; I’m prepared
To sit through five or six
And when they’re done, from those that aired,
I’ll know my next few flicks.

Trailers can, as they are meant to be, a good way to see if you want to see. 5 or 6 in a row can be a bit too much. But if you pay 10 buck's to sit and watch a show. Then you might as well consider it more for your dough. :)

I do remember when film clips of coming movies were standard, but that was many many years ago. I rarely go to movies now, I watch them on the Internet – free too! I've been watching all the Agatha films about Inspector Poirot and find them delightful. / M

I like them too! :) I like the whole experience from start to finish. Great write, dear. You have such a way of highlighting everyday events that is quite refreshing.

- I get so fast impatient ... and tired ... it must be something that captures my interest from beginning to end - A lovely write, Ilene - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Made me smile as we so rarely go to the movies i tend to fall asleep and can do that at home for free ! We did see the Star Wars film over Christmas and I stayed awake all the way through - quite a surprise!!!:-) hugs Jan xx
