| In England commercials are an integral part of the show. They allow

They have these here in America, too.  They're called "Coming Attractions."

The ONLY commercials I tolerate before movies are commercials for new
films, and the little blurbs describing what's showing at the other
cinemas in a chain.  Oh, and the announcement that the operator is a
member of the projectionists union.   Anything else is worth booing,
and sometimes worth leaving over (WITH a refund!)
