I've never seen THIS. I've seen warnings to moviegoers that the dogs in
Snow Dogs do not actually talk. I've seen warnings explain, in detail, that
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is indeed an R-rated film despite the fact that it's a cartoon. I've seen signs warning that anyone buying a ticket to
Thirteen Days just to watch the attached teaser to
Lord of the Rings would not receive a refund after said trailer. But I've never seen a movie theater warning that a given movie may be too artsy-fartsy for them, and warning that unsuspecting ticket buyers would be out of luck. As the film goes wider, I expect this kind of thing to happen more and more often. Still, buyer beware. In this day and age, anyone who walks into
The Tree of Life just because "Hey, Brad Pitt is in it!" deserves to either have their mind blown or put to sleep. And no, they don't deserve refunds either way.

I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI automatically judge people when they tell me they hate old movies, foreign movies... and movies like this. I want to see this but I need to wait for DVD so I can watch with closed captions. I've heard so much good stuff about this one.
