I live where all the theatres have assigned seats, but totally with you on #2. I have also actively avoided trailers - esp for all the Star Wars movies. I’m going to see them, so I don’t need my excitement stoked. The only exception? Deadpool. Most of his “trailers” are just Ryan being weird. :)

To the “shitty white people” the country WASN’T the black people’s country. It belonged to THEM. Which is why they flipped out when one of those uppity blacks became president, and…
