The wild part is that's what we did. The ads I described were almost entirely after the movie WA's advertised as starting.

It was genuinely like a 7 start time for the movie that didn't actually start until something asinine like 7:40.

That's exactly what I mean though - I want to be much later than the advertised start because it's a damn lie.
