Philadelphia the Movie
WE JUST WATCHED “PHILADELPHIA” ON AMC. THE FILM WAS SERIOUSLY DEGRADED BY THE COSTANT ADVERTISING FOR “MAD MEN”. IT IS RIDICULOUS, AND IN OUR VIEW STUPID, TO PRESENT A FINE FILM AND COSTANTLY INTERRUPT IT TO PROMOTE ANOTHER PROGRAM. IF WE HAD ANY INCLINATION TO WATCH “MAD MEN” , THIS BLATANT INTERRUPTION OF A FINE MOVIE HAS GUARANTEED THAT WE WON’T.
I agree with Carol…and I disagree about MAD MEN..mainly because I was a pre-teen and teen-ager in the 60’s and I remember it well..plus, I got into radio commercial writing in 1968 for the number one rock’n’roll station here on Miami Beach..later on I was a Production Director for many years in radio and dealt with ad agencies and people like those on MAD MEN (mostly over the phone, once in awhile in person)..so I liked that show-But I hate you for going COMMERCIAL-why did you?!? (but I do thank you for getting rid of those “people” you had introduce movies or whatever it was they did-which by the way, they knew nothing about the movies-any of them!)but if you show a movie I love-I bear with the commercials-However-my TELEVISION is just that- A TELEVISION-NOT A COMPUTER–so PLEASE-IF YOU HAVE TO INTERRUPT THE MOVIE WITH COMMERCIALS-SPARE ME THE D—-POP UPS AND STUPID OTHER THINGS YOU DO TO RUIN A MOVIE!And if there’s a Theme song at the end-let it play!hype elsewhere,ok?!
I have enjoyed MadMen so much. There is nothing like it on TV. where is it? Did the second season end? ladebora
I haven’t watched AMC for some time but I saw a movie I thought looked interesting. I quickly realized that the movie, Philadelphia, was interrupting the commercials. I timed the commercials vs the movie and I am disgusted. I don’t plan on watching another movie on that channel.
