I enjoy that promo. "Hey, nice to see you!" He gets some popcorn. It bothers me how much left over there is on his collar.

I love the Johns Waters smoking one. I don't think they play it any more, or I've just missed it on rotation.

The one of all the people sitting in the row with the drumming and the clown bothers me. It doesn't make sense. I think they should have just had a row with people making tons of noise, then the movie starts and they all go instantly silent. Then the text comes up, "please no 'blah blah blah' during the movie". Instead, they have the "normal" guy say "quiet down" and then they all shush him. It doesn't make sense. Why are they shushing him? Are we supposed to understand that they're comfortable with general noise, as long as it's not speaking? Are they all together (a clown AND a drummer?) and ganging up on him? If he's not with them, why are they all sitting in the same row? He's like one guy against 6. He'd be better off getting an usher. I think this one is from Stevenson and makes me lose respect for their film school.

The John Waters smoking PSA is still played before repertory screenings; I saw it a couple months ago at a screening of Eyes Wide Shut.

It's to show how rude and backwards the people who make noise are. When you try to shush a noise maker and they turn it on you. It's irony.
