Totally agree. That's why I never watch movies on network channels. Sick of the 4-5 minute long ads popping up every bloody 5 minutes
Apollo 13 is 2 hr 20mins long, but with all the ads it dragged out over 3 hours, so that's 45 minutes of freaking ads in an otherwise 140 minute long movie
I either buy movies I like on DVD or wait for them to appear on foxtel.
Another very infuriating thing that's common on all channels, including foxtel, is when there is a few minutes left of airtime for a TV show, and yet they squeeze in another block of ads, you sit through it, only to cut to the credits afterwards.
