What is the central idea of this story?



The movie was about to start and I was ready. I had already sat through five movie previews, six trivia questions and at least twenty advertisements. It was time to begin this ninety–minute flick. I had already spent thirty minutes in the theater, and I was starting to get restless. I was anxious to see the movie. "Let's get this show rolling," I said to my friend. "Between the popcorn, the soda, the ice cream bar, and the tickets to get into this joint, I spent over $15. It is time for me to get what I paid for." Finally! The screen presented the best two words I'd seen so far: "Feature Presentation" appeared in bold golden letters. I slouched down in my seat and started munching my popcorn in deep anticipation. Suddenly, three cartoon bunnies bounced across the screen. By the time they met a cartoon farmer, I realized that we had entered the wrong theater. Now I understood why there were so many little children in the theater. By the time we made it to the correct cinema, I realized I had missed over twenty minutes of my movie. I was furious. The movie had no meaning now. I decided to go back to the cartoon movie. At least I'd be able to see the whole thing.
