Well... suppose Gojira isn't going to read it anytime, but wanted to post this site:
http://www.rinkworks.com/movieaminute/
This site holds a large number of ultra-short summaries of your favourite and not-s-favourite movies. This was done to the 1998 Godzilla movie:

Many times.

Yes.

That's amazing. Simply amazing. What kind of ads did they show during the movie?

During? Nothing of course. Dutch government TV will not show ads during shows.
Not sure what they showed between the programmes... of course we have it on tape.

That's amazing. I can't watch movies on tv because of the ads. Dutch television sounds like the best in the world; it's so liberal and without ads. An
amazing combination. Is this free to air tv we're talking about?

YES!
Oh wait. No. They stopped "airing" the channels so you can't receive TV with antennae anymore. You have to have cable or digital TV.

It is sort of free. The lowest fee you have to pay for the minimum package of stations is almost the same as having a own antenna. Don't think we are
free of ads. On public stations ads comes in blocks of 5 minutes between the programs. During the program there is no stop for ads. On commercial
stations they do have commercials in between. Depending on the popularity of the show a stop can take 7 or 8 minutes. Most people have a zap moment or
a sanitarial stop. A movie can be stopped to many times. But there fore they devide movies in two parts with a news show in between. Thats very
irritating. On the other hand seeing a movie without a break is a long time.
Commercials like the in the US we do not have, (many breaks with one commercial) fortunately.
We do know what is is because in the late sixties we had a commercial pirate station stationed in the Nortsea in international waters. At that time no
commercials were allowed. They had commercials during the program and some commercials were planned amazingly in the film where you didn't realize
you was looking to a commercial upto the final message. Dutch navy made an end to the station. The name of the station was TV Noordzee.

It is normally a weird show as it is. But in this scene this "vega streaker"show up uninvited in the live show, while the host Paul was having a
telephone conversation with a 6 year old child. Then at some moment Paul says that a streaker should be totally naked and ripped off his string. The
guy tried to go to the police but Finally the station and the Vega streaker agreed with a verdict of a know TV judge in Holland. He said that in a
controversial show and knowing the presenter you could have known that something like that could happen.
This is even more the case when he showed up univited.

Maybe five or six years ago Australian tv said that they were going to phaze out analogue television by about 2005. They haven't done that. Free to
air digital tv has been broadcasting for about five years and every channel has their digital channel, but most people I know just watch the regular
analogue tv.
I don't usually watch the digital channels, but I think they have the same amount of ads.
Maybe Polydigm can comment better on the situation here in a Australia.

American Sports, Eurosport 2... full-time detective channel...

We have Foxtel, which is getting really expensive. We also have a DVD recorder which has a built in digital tuner so we get to watch the free to air
digital channels, which have just as many ads, but you get a much better picture in widescreen. With the DVD recorder I mostly record what I want to
watch because you can start watching while it's still recording, so for instance I watch the 8:30PM show starting at 8:50 and then just fast forward
over the ads.
BTW BBP, you still need an aerial to watch digital tv.

Yeah I know that... it emits a different signal though, with the old antennae of lore that Zo Is Het Toevallig Ook Nog Eens Een Keer made fun
of... and that Donald Duck often repairs with disastrous consequences...

I may have no idea what you folks are talkin about
but here in mostly urban/semi urban centers of Kansas a digital cable line piggybacks with the phone line and in the last ten yeasrs most homes have
been connected. So all you have to do is plug it in and purchase the service.with a downpayment and a monthly fee/
Now the lines all converge at the cable company which offers different rates of digital tv, a collection of nationally syndicated broadcast networks
and the local stations as well as different rates for internet connections.
Same company provides tv, internet, and our local newspaper.
Strange it may seem, a monopoly of media here . . .
but there doesn't seem to be anything we can't get or don't hear about. Of course, we wouldn't know if we couldn't find out about something . . .
and if the bank of satellites went out, in a single stroke we'd be out of the link -- not a happy scenario, come to think of it.

I now have a new guilty pleasure, the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tim Curry is great!
(he also plays butler Wadsworth in another favorite movie of mine, Clue.)
