Unless it’s something educationnal (Discovery, History, Military)commercials make it difficult to remain focused on a particular show, especially when they cut in the middle of an action scene.

Your blinking ad above is enough to make me not want to bookmark your page. Let alone click the silly ad.

So old-school web…

I usually just watch movies on TV when I’m bored or lazy. I think I’ve watched The Matrix more than I should have just because it was on TBS, TNT, or AMC late at night.

Watching Star Wars on broadcast TV made me realize how much I actually hate watching anything on TV anymore. I would watch Return of the Jedi last night, say to myself “sweet, here comes the really good part”, and then bang, 4 minute long commercial. Damn! Ruins the immersion.

Its much easier and enjoyable to watch the DVD, or to download a TV episode from the internet. No commercials, no interruptions, and if you have to go downstairs to make a sandwitch you can make the movie/tv episode wait for you.

Here’s the BIG problem with Watching Movies on Broadcast TV.
Are you ready for it???
Most if not ALL the movies they show on tv by the time they hit I already own them and the ones I do stop and watch are ones I didn’t see in the theater because I really didn’t want to pay to see CRAP and I deemed it not worth renting.
Even then I can switch channels if the movie is really bad and then no harm no foul and no money spent.
Why sit and watch a movie with ad’s all over the place when I can watch the whole thing on dvd and see NO ad’s?!
So that’s why I don’t bother to watch on tv nor rent movies anymore because the movies I really like I just buy it so I don’t have to drive to the vid store only to find out it’s out or don’t have it to begin with.
If you buy it right away then you have it at 3AM if you want when the store is closed and have a marathon and guess what? NO late fees! LOL
Don’t rent Don’t watch on tv just do yourself a favor and BUY it and get it out of the way.

Oh my God. The same thing has happened with me! I haven’t watch any of the Star Wars movies since last summer. As much as I’ve loved them (And Star Wars Ep. 4 is my 6th favorite movie) I kinda forgot about how great it was. I’m gonna have to watch them again. I missed it because I was in Great Wolf lodge. Limited movies on the tv suck. Especailly R-rated movies. They cut too much out.
