Break in movies

[SmashMartian]

Why do movies have to be interupted to show news bulletins when they can be shown either before or after ?? by the time it comes back on i've lost interest !!

Whatever tension the movie has built up is completely lost.
Any emotional investment the viewer has made has all gone.
What may have been a great movie is ruined.

The director, producers, cast etc have spent a great deal of time and effort to put this thing together only for commercial and news breaks to spoil it all.

If it's the first time you've seen a great movie then your left feeling it was simply mediocre. And it's too late, you'll never see it for the first time again.

That's why movie pirates annoy me, they see a rubbish copy of a movie and then think they're qualified to judge it's quality.

It's almost as disheartening as when someone gets up for a widdle in the middle of the cinema

I agree. They should use the lavatory like everyone else.

LOL - There's nothing worse than it splashing on your popcorn. Serves me right for buying a hooky DVD I suppose, but I remember being terribly gutted when the climax of Kill Bill was spoiled by the sillhoette of some tub in a baseball cap wandering back and forth!

what makes it more annoying is that the BBC moved their 9 oclock news to 10 saying that they could then show movies without interuption. Guess what they moved the start time of the films and then interupted them anyway. Makes my blood boil I totally agree with the sentiments above. I use Sky+ now and usually record everything I want to watch so I can then Fast forward through the breaks.
