How many times have you watched a trailer and thought, “Oh my god, that looks so good!” “. Then you go to the cinema and say: “Is that all I have? “.

The comedian went on to say that it was partially the public to act, by stopping paying to see this type of cinema:

They know that once you’ve already purchased your ticket and are seated, they have your money. And the only way to change that is by not going to those garbage cans. We must actively not pick this garbage. It will help. It will help a lot.
