When i buy a dvd........

I don't buy it for a trailor of some movie coming to theaters or video? Now i have to skip through 20 minutes of shit. What happened to the good ole days when you bought a movie and got the movie with no commercials(advertising).

I feel ya but some trailers are cool..some ..but whats really a trip is the damn commercials they are now having before the trailers at the actual theaters. Like 5-10 minutes of them before the trialors even starts. BMW, Marine Corp, Coke etc. no no no!

You can, but i shouldn't have to do anything except put the movie in and play. It's a minor thing, but it's irritating how they just push crap on you. They could have put them atr the end or put them in the special features section, but NO! they make it auto-start when you put the dvd in.

I didn't know they do that. That is bullshit...but one of the things i do like about some DVD's are the deleted scenes or the documentarys sometimes included.

Another thing i hate is when they re-release a dvd with more feautures(ie the matrix, x-men). They had all these features and footage in the first damn place. All of the sudden you have an outdated copy of the matrix because some asshole was a)Too lazt to put it on the first time or b)Too phuckin greedy. Either way it's wrong.
