Would you?

1) Still buy films and TV-series on DVD or Bluray, if the releases were with commercial breaks? And if there were also were commercial-free videotapes (VHS, Betamax or Video 2000), would you still buy them to avoid commercias (with worse quality).
2) Still go to the cinema if there were commercial breaks during the films?

No and no.

For DVD's, I prefer to have the previews kept in their slot before the actual movie begins.

For this, I vote no.

However, if it is for, say a drive-in theater, I appreciate the intermission.

For this, I vote yes.

What kinda questions are these? No.

Can you not just be glad that studios aren't doing anything that stupid?

Yeah, the whole point of buying the DVD/going to the theater is so you don't have to worry about commercial breaks.

Your threads are getting weirder and weirder.

I wouldn't mind commercial breaks in DVDs/blu-rays since you can just fast forward them. Cinemas on the other hand, I would like commercials halfway through the film so I could have a break/use the restroom etc. I don't like how in cinemas, you have to sit through a film all the way through in one go whereas at home, I often take breaks in the middle of watching something.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 01-26-2017, 01:59 PM

This is an oddly specific question.

DVDs have all these promos that appear before the main feature. They don't need commercials within the main feature.

Dont go to the theatres then, best advice that could be given.

I usually don't go at all. Maybe once a year

Just find it odd that not even one 5 minute break is given over here for the sake of convenience. Where I come from in the Indian subcontinent, they give everyone a chance to stretch and get some fresh air in the intermission of a film in theatres.

Are you astroturfing the VHS format? Suddenly there is a lot of analogue video talk going on.

Because intermissions dont really have a place in movie theatres, and besides, the break would be longer than 5 minutes especially with everyone who does have to use the bathroom getting up to use it at the same time.

Erm, no and no.
