I skip commercials as a rule, but I caught the Kathy Bates Misery dub in for Direct Tv. Very funny.:D

I liked the Aliens one. But then, I preffer Sci-Fi over horror.

The Misery one is my favorite yet. Excellent book, excellent movie, excellent commercial. The Back to the Future would be my second favorite.

Too bad they have to run it every 5 minutes all night long.

Ahh, back to my OP. I only saw it begin by chance as I skipped my way through the commercials like prancing through the daisies. I really really really like my DVR.

That is the only part of the movie that I cannot watch. I always have to turn my head. :eek:

You know, that little picture in the upper corner of the playlist. You see it in between watching recordings....:grin:

I agree, great ad. DTV has redeemed themselves after the dreadful Beyonce spot.

I thought we were talking about Direct Shutter Priority (Tv) for a minute there, thats what I get for switching back and forth between DBSTalk and Digital Photog forums :lol:

In the book, he is not hobbled. If I remember correctly, she saws off his feet and cauterizes the wound. (Sorry if I'm being too graphic.)

I think she cut them off with an axe, but she did cauterize the stubs with a blow torch. The way it was filmed though might be just as bad.

I liked the "Major League" DirecTV ad the best, the one with Charlie Sheen as 'Wild Thing" Rick Vaughan

Suuuure, because everyone knows Kathy Bates is so much hotter than Beyonce. :rolleyes:

It was only one foot...cauterizes with a blowtorch. :eek2:

IIRC she also cuts off a thumb....with an electric knife...and gave it back on a birthday cake...she didn't make him eat the part with the "special candle" though

That's what makes the commercial so funny. The woman's a nut-job-on-a-stick and talks to us as if she was getting ready to wash a load of dishes.

Hey, how you doing....want some HD....wait give me a minute...CRUNCH

At least Kathy Bates has done nude :blush: scenes in a couple of movies. I am not aware of Beyonce doing any nude scenes.
