Dear (misguided) Odeon Management

I had to sit through the seemingly endless and totally appalling "Romero and Juliet" advertisement by H&M at the Odeon Wimbledon cinema today.

Please KILL ME NOW.

The manager and ALL four of his staff who were present when I complained ALL agreed this ad was terrible and would do H&M NO GOOD.

He said he had already had hundreRAB of complaints about it, and expected hundreRAB more!

I told him I would NOT be going to any movie cinemas which show this horrible, grating, nerve-wracking, soppy, cliched, disgusting load of crap.

He wished he could pull it, but apparently MONEY-LUST wins over the GREEDY Odeon Board of Directors, against any remote semblence of good taste, fairness or customer care.

I paid
 
You didn't have to sit through it.

You could have waited in the lobby until your film actually started.

Or ask the attendant, when purchasing your ticket, what time the film actually starts and take your seat while they're changing reels.
 
H & M advertising Horror!

Exactly. In doing some searches on the internet, I find that this horror is being shown in cinemas all around the world! Can you imagine!

And to have the tragic duo die, not by their own hanRAB, but by gunshots! Juliet is shot by the police! There were catcalls in the cinema during the whole presentation. In staid, polite Wimbledon! I've never heard catcalls in the Wimbledon Odeon in over ten years!

Apparently, H&M are very proud of this Lachapelle travesty.

And to be charged
 
Please feel free to flame me, but i seriously think you should think about this. there are a LOT worse adverts out there. Yeah its long, but is it any worse then the levi's adverts where they recite shakespere???
 
Advert is at UCI and Odeon cinemas, and is truly terrible. I am avoiding watching any 15+ rated films at UCI for the forseeable future and will (as I said after the 10 minute ad ended), never buy anything from H&M ever again.

I think donelson's point surely is that it for a 10 minute film to be shown *in addition* to the normal complement of adverts and trailers is excessive.

The only people I know that liked this advert didn't actually see it - they we just grateful that they didn't miss any of the film despite being 10 minutes late!

It is being advertised within the cinema and in newspapers as a film, but I was at no point told that I was booking tickets for a double-bill.
 
It's usually around 20 minutes before the film actually starts. You get the adverts then the trailers. I like sitting through them though :o
 
I suppose you can call it a music video (with truly awful music) telling a modern New York Romeo and Juliet story in n very long minutes, aimed to advertise H & M's new "soulful jeans" (and H & M's other items of clothing as well I suppose).

I've sat through it twice which is exactly two times too many :mad: (For the record, wasn't at an Odeon, or in the UK for that matter).
 
I cannot believe (well, yes I can) that H&M are actually proud of this crap.

If you think about it... a bunch of fattish, oldish, white-ish men sitting around a boardroom table, completely befuddled by anything hip, totally disconnected from their target market, congratulating themselves on how cool they are told they are!

They are, of course, told this by people with $$$$ in their eyes at how much they're going to make on the Emperor's New Clothes - literally !
 
Is the H & M horror still showing? I was thinking of going to Corpse Bride with my family tomorrow, and would like to plan ahead to Avoid The Horror!
 
It's awful..i saw it in a email newsletter the other week.

The fact that it only follows Romeo and Juliet to the loosest detail is one thing. The fact that it goes on forever is just horrid.
