| MDJames Member  21 Posts 6/04 |  Posted - Nov 14 2004 : 8:28PMThis is something of a pet peeve for me, not just for the adult industry, but also especially for mainstream studios. Have you noticed that production companies are SHOVING trailers in our faces once the DVD loads into the player? Oh, yes, I know, the correct terminology is "pushing" the trailers, but however you want to call it, it's still very annoying. It's bad enough that the mainstream studios are doing this, but now I'm seeing this with the adult studios as well! You pop a DVD in, and instead of going right to the main menu, you get anywhere between five to fifteen minutes of trailers. Why can't the studios have enough trust in us as DVD viewers to watch the trailers at our leisure? We will get to them sooner or later, and probably a whole lot sooner if you don't shove them in our faces! [Link] |

That buffer gives me time to grab the tissues and whatever else to 'prepare' for my viewing experience. :) Sometimes if you want to see that nice rainbow, you gotta put up with the pissin' rain.

| timotei Member UK 271 Posts 4/02 | Posted - Nov 22 2004 : 7:49PM Fortunately, I find that the Adult studios who push the most forced viewing on their DVDs are the ones I happen to like least, in terms of style of film etc. Thankfully the good studios who make excellent films, such as EA, also respect their customers and don't abuse them with excessive trailers. Hopefully we customers can use purchase-power to show the worst offenders what we think of their control freakery. [Link] |
| Ghost Pro Member Creampies, Blowjobs and Asians..... Oh My! 236 Posts 9/04 | Posted - Dec 19 2004 : 3:39AM The studio you bought from, however, looks at their movies as a way to sell something other than the movie. They feel that making you watch a phone sex ad or commercials for movies that have NOTHING to do with the product will "convince" you to spend your hard earned dollars on these distractions. What bothers me is when a company has a great product, but "cheapens" it with a bunch of crap at the beginning. Banana Creampie 1 from Video Team comes immediately to mind. Unfortunately, seeing Sabrina Maui still makes maneuvering through 20 year-old phone sex ads worth it. I can only assume it works or they wouldn't do it. I know we'll never do that. [Link] |
