It drives me crazy to pay to see a movie and have to watch 15 minutes of television commercials that I can watch at home.

Going to "The Movies" stinks for many reasons.  The tv commercials they have snuck in there these past few years are just the icing on the cake.  I don't know about where you're at, but around these parts it costs almost $10.00 a ticket.  Then, just to get some popcorn and a soda it's another raping of the wallet.  And then there is always some knuckle head who can't keep his pie hole shut during the movie....the same guy who's kneeing the back of your seat the whole time.  You leave there broke, bloated and deaf.

Yes, it is getting old. The commercials are nothing but one negative ad after another.

I agree with you. The first time I saw that commercial I decided I was never going to eat one of those things. That commercial is just icky!

Yea why not.  If you don't want to pay to see it in a theatre wait till it's out to rent or on satellite

Yes I can see the anti American crap in today's movies. I think that in the last few years Hollywood has "jumped the shark" I seldom go to movies anymore so that they will not get my money.

Technically you have to pay for every movie you want to watch. But it isn't that hard to sneak into a movie.. :)

I agree!  It's gotta be bacause there's a lot of money in commercials.  If you got paid on your local channel to show commercials you probably would.  They just need to keep'em at home and not at the theatre.  Isn't  it China where you don't have to watch commercials because they don't show'em unless you want to pay tp watch 'em!  Bring that to the US!

OK Here I go...You hit a particular nerve with me.  I personally have a DVR box instead of just a cable box that records all shows that I want to watch and then I watch them on my schedule.  For ex: I never watch "LOST" on Weds I watch on Saturday when I'm not distracted (and quite possibly get scared) So I pay extra for the DVR but to me it's worth it. What I fear is going to be the new trend and it's already started is you're going to pay for cable, and then pay for TV shows per show to be able to watch them without commercials.  So if you don't have the DVR, but you get home from your shift, you can tune to a station that will repeat a show for you, with no ads for say 99 cents. Cable Co's are the last Monopoly that have yet to be dealt with; in most areas you're supposed to have a choice between two alternate methods of reception, but Satellite is one of the choices, so there really isn't free market for most cable subscribers. This really frosts me because then they bundle your internet/phone/TV/Cable/DVR/Cable box and tell you you're saving money.  But as you said, if you watch TV after 2:00 a.m. there is no TV; it sucks as bad as in the 80's

I'm sad when it comes to movies. I buy off Amazon.com for dirty cheep. Or I'll get em at Blockbuster, rip em on my computer, then take em back. Actually, last month, my gf had to pay my cell phone bill because i bought Spike Lee's whole DVD collection on eBay.

We use Netflix and thats about to stop.We started off with the 19.99 package and we got our movies in fairly quick for a while.So we upgraded to the 5 movie package.They are so slow now that we are getting the same amount of moves per month with the 5 movie package as the 3 movie package.Were moving on to Blockbuster,we havn't herd anything but good about them.Plus you can rent games!
