Been a while since Bond has been on free-to-air. And a fine film they've chosen, too.

I can't believe how ad-packed this was. Clocked in at close to three hours.

Still, I watched it all.

Ugh. 1 hour of commercials, sounds like some of the channels here.

Channel Seven throws in about 20% more ads then the other channels. And I bet 70% of the ads were about Channel 7 shows?

Did anyone else catch Category 6: Day of Destruction last night?

Now that was crammed with ads. The whole thing clocked in at almost four hours!

That was the most pathetic excuse for a show/move(?) I have ever seen. I kept watching waiting for something good to happen, but it was utter crap. Boring as hell, I should have gone to bed earlier!

Somewhere, DLibrasnow was secretly watching, and even enjoying, this movie....

You mean three hours of commercials don't you?

While it beat most of what clogs our screens these days [I'm looking at you, Dancing with the Stars, My Restaurant Rules and Starstruck, to name a few], that's no hard task.

It was subpar, sure, but at the end of it all, I couldn't help but wonder what the point was. The Day After Tomorrow did the nature-gone-wild thing much better, and it's still fresh in the public's minds.

Still, it rated well, coming in second for the night [securing a win for Seven for the evening - guaranteed, almost, given its running time], whilst Unfaithful, the other premiere movie for the evening, tanked with more than a million viewers switching off Nine after CSI: Crime Scene Investigation finished.

I refuse to watch channel 7 during ratings period. 25 would be the only thing I would watch, but that isn't going to be on any time soon.
