Oh how exciting! That means in 2 years I can watch an edited, full-screen version of Avatar with commercials and no 3D effect. Is there any human being out there who still watches movies on commercial television? In the age of Netflix and cheap DVDs it just seems silly to watch a vastly inferior version of a movie on cable.
