Trailers on DVDs - Fast forward, no you can't on this one

My daily rant -
I am peeved off right now because the DVD I rented has the usual trailers before the movie starts. What I'm peeved about is the DVD won't let me speed forward to the movie. The fast forward feature is disabled. So now you HAVE to sit through two FIVE MINUTE trailers.

Movie rented - "Matador" with Pierce Brosnan. You know, we go to the movies and they kill us with a hundred trailers and now this. "Get it off your chest, brother!"

Insert DVD. Hit Stop button. Hit Menu button. This USUALLY bypasses the crap.

I tried to get the menu and it won't let me. The player I have is the Panasonic DVD-R32. And this is the first time this has happened.
All the other newer DVDs doesn't have this problem. I don't know, might be the player.

so no one really cares for the coming attractions?
they are actually been fine for me, especially since I work in a video store, they give customers better recommendations. and focus features has great trailers, IMHO they haven't missed yet.

I don't mind them on dvds as much
a. if it's an older movie, they're old trailers so you can press 1 button
b. if it's more recent, you can press scene to skip the ones you've seen
3. but now fastforwarding brings back vhs bullshit.

I still like them though

in other news...YOU WOULDN'T STEAL.....A CAR????
that pisses me off

Yeah, after I PAID to watch the movie! It'd be like buying something at Best Buy and, instead of getting some magazine offer, you get a lecture about shoplifting and how it hurts the store.

Yep. At the very least, I should be able to skip over anything prior to the menu.

I don't mind trailers at the start, because I love em. BUT I hate how they never include the feature film's trailer anymore, just previews of other films by the studio.

I love trailers. If they put trailers on a DVD, I'll watch them -- the first time I pop the disc in. But I don't want to see a trailer for Hollywood Homicide in 2006.
