Excellent! :-)

A few years ago, I said to you that soon there would be unskippable adverts on DVDs, and you said that'd never happen. :-)

My manager at work buys pirate DVDs. I was shocked - I thought everyone downloaded stuff rather than buying it from a bloke in the pub...

Seems clear that in the case of trailers that they can choose to make them skipable or unskipable. My Superman dvd has a bunch that you can just avoid but, for some reason, Happy Feet is unskipable and has to be endured. Inexcusable.

I admit it - you were right.

[octopoid-horror.livejournal.com]

I kind of wish you had been right.

God yes! And also those bloody annoying disks where you have to select the United Kingdom, which is naturally at the very end of the long list.

[octopoid-horror.livejournal.com]

Or TV show box sets with lots of discs, where every single one has a lengthy production logo/credits sequence that you can't skip.

Oh man, that annoys the hell out of me as well. They put English as the VERY LAST bloody language option at the end of 3 or 4 pages of language options.

FUCKERS!

At least its less irritating than the old BBFC/Simon Bates thing.
"This film may contain adult themes, violence etc"

I miss the Simon Bates thing! It's similar to the disappointment I feel when I go to a cinema which doesn't have Pearl & Dean ads.

Fan-fucking-tastic!

Wonderful!

I'll print it out on A2 and put it in a cinema somewhere :).
