Well, you could always buy a really large soda at the concession stand beforehand to make sure you go to the bathroom like 8,000 times during the movie. I doubt you'll miss much if you do.
I also have seen the Annie marketing a lot (they even have a behind the scenes preview airing on the TVs of the theater lobby that's been playing for like the last two months), mostly because it's so far away from release, but I don't mind. It looks like the sweet/heartwarming movie to see over the holidays, Diaz's overacting aside.
I think I have seen the previews for Earth to Echo before almost every movie I have seen the last several months. So glad I'll never have to see a piece of marketing for it ever again after next.
Yeah, a friend wants to see it tomorrow and I didn't really mind before but now I'm really gonna try to get out of it. Cold reception doesn't sway me either way when it comes to movies like this, but that 165 minute running time just sounds brutal.
