A new bill in Connecticut, proposed by State Sen. Martin M. Looney, aims to make movie theaters disclose true movie start times, separate from trailers and advertisements. While this change promises to save time for viewers who want to avoid previews, many argue that these trailers are integral to the cinema experience, fostering excitement and anticipation. The bill's intent is to allow patrons the choice to arrive just in time for their movie, but it raises questions about the theater-going experience and the value of trailers.
"It seems to be an abuse of people's time. If they 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."
"One lawmaker from Connecticut is trying to change this. State Sen. Martin M. Looney, a Democrat representing New Haven in the Connecticut State Senate, has proposed a bill that would require movie theaters to list the real start times of a movie - not when the trailers start."
