BUGGER OFF with your advertisment SH ..... !!!!!!!!!!!



Oh, the film.
Not as bad as this time-stealing brazenness of "advertisements" i think.
The advertisements only play before videos of youtubers that want to be payed for creating them. That's one reason why I don't use any add-block service since almost every Youtuber I watch gets a fair portion of their income from YouTube.

Well, Catfish,
Unless you wish to pay for a YouTube subscription to cover the cost of bandwidth to stream this stuff to your rig, then yes you'll have to endure an ad or two.

I've seen worse, but that was pretty cringingly bad, in one of those positions where it's too bad to actually be good, some films can be so bad that they're good, if only for the laughs, but some movies don't even have that.

In regards to submarine movies, the one thing...actually, make that two things that get me in nearly every sub movie is the submarine 'pinging' whenever it passes the camera (only submarines with a death wish do that, unless you count the HF sonar for ice maneuvering but that's only used under the ice.
Secondly, and much more common is the Sonar/RADAR bug, in which the Sonar display is actually a radar, Crimson Tide, Hostile Waters, so so so so many films, TV programs, cartoons and comics have featured this and it digs at me every single time. The Hunt for Red October got it right, but I can't think of many others that have.

Still, if you want psychological damage, I can only pass on a recommendation I received from the king of terrible films, HunterICX, and that's 'Funky Forest', it's Japanese, which should tell you a lot of what you need to know, and although I haven't managed to see the whole film, the clips on youtube that I have seen...

Regarding advertisement/commercial on TV

I have removed those TV-channel that use these to interrupted a program or movie.

I'm tired of it. I have nothing against advertisement, when it comes before or after, but not between.
