I need help to understand some words in the following context.
In this sentence what does " lame "first look" segment" mean?

Squirming in your seat at the theater, wondering how many more times you have to sit through this lame "first look" segment before the movie finally starts.

Thank you all :)

"Lame" means unable to walk, here it's just a negative value judgement, like "uninteresting, boring...."
