Although this has been done before and I posted my thoughts about it, I feel the need to repeat because I have strong feelings about this.
TV shows make their revenue with advertisements. TV programming, for the most part, is free. I will live with having to deal with commercials on TV because it keeps (most) shows on the air.
Movies generate revenue through Ticket sales, and later on through VHS and DVD sales. We generate the revenue to keep movies in the theatre and new ones created and there is no good reason why we should be subjected to 8, or 4 or even 1 commercial.
If I wanted to be told for the billionth time that Pepsi is better than Coke, that I should drive a Lexus and my clothes aren't good enough, I would stay home, watch TV and be told that for free.
