Movies are free, but interrupted at inopportune times for 3 to 5 commercials, sometimes the same ad twice during the same break. But at least, when they return to the film, they back up about 5 seconds, so you know you haven't missed anything.

I'm so glad that everyone can now drive looking at their phones or whatever because their car will stop for them. And screw all the idiots who just blunder out in front of cars. You deserve to get hit. "Pedestrian detection".. Yes. It's called your eyes and paying attention! The feature may be helpful, but the Commercials piss me off. These ads drive me crazy, too. My car doesn't have automatic braking, but it has an "collision avoidance alarm" (or something like that) that beeps at me if it thinks I'm going to hit something. IT GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. If I'm coming around a curve on a 2 lane road and there's a stationary object (like a median, a telephone pole, or a tree) on the other side of the road? It beeps at me. I guess it thinks I might stop turning and drive straight off the road? So, every time I see those ads, I think of all the times my car would be braking for no good reason. I wish I could turn the stupid thing off. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/304/#findComment-3780706
tanyak November 3, 2017 Share November 3, 2017 I am slightly annoyed by the commercial in which the older couple moves out of their rather stately home in the country into a city walk-up right across the hall from the daughter's family. I know lots of grandparents will move to be closer to grandchildren, but the fact that they have to to be literally next door sends my eyes rolling. I've decided I would feel better about if maybe there was some medical reason they need to be there beyond "OMG, Mom! I now have four kids and I don't know what to do!!"

I mean, I still don't think it's okay, but in the longer version of the commercial, the dad is always working, so the kid goes out and gets the cutout made so the dad can spend some time with her for once.
