Stephen's Short Video Reviews
I'm starting to get pissed off with the continual crap about ' piracy ' at the start of DVDs that you have bought legitimately, sometimes you can't even fast forward through it! Now if you had bought an 'illegal copy ' you would not see this crap. And there is an increasing tendency to put adds for other movies in front of the movie, after you select ' play movie '!
How much more crap do the distributors think people are willing to put up with?
