Commercials on Previously Commercial-free Channels, What's Up With That?

Hi there!  So, as I know I've mentioned, I have been in the unfortunate position to watch far too much television.  Enough to decide my world will be a far healthier place sans t.v..  I don't insist on this radical departure for everyone, just me.  As soon as I can walk across the gym and snap it off, the t.v. will stay off.  In the meantime the flatscreens rule my life and most of my entertainment comes from a cable box. Everything looks so good in High Def!  What doesn't look so great(and sounds even louder during commercials)are the advertisements that now break up previously ad-free movies and shows like IFC.  You're trying to watch an edgy, F-Bomb laden, independent film and a commercial for a new Toyota runs periodically it's really disconcerting.  When the car (and corresponding Geico insurance ads)commercials are over, and there is nothing else to sell, the programming wizards at IFC might treat us to a behind-the-scenes-look at whatever garbage they might be generating be it a movie or something they're whipping up just for IFC.  You get perspectives from the new actors, the director and the "older" actors.  Well I wasn't really watching. but I heard enough to know that the newer actors (Shia LaBoef, Tom Hardy and Jessica Chastain) spoke about the movie a little and the old actors spoke a lot about the movie and the thrill it was to work with such hugely talented people as Jessica, Shia and Tom.  I was typing away, largely ignoring this "show", and then I heard the "old" actors, Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman!  They aren't that old!  Especially Guy Pearce!  Thanks Independent Film Channel, for making me disconcerted AND making me feel very old.  Thank you for that!  I feel less independent than I did an hour ago, but I'm ready to buy a new Prius.

Thought for the day:  Is it just me or IS Jessica Chastain a slightly newer version (I mean slightly, like 4 or 5 years) of Bryce Dallas Howard?  A Hollywood Clone, perhaps?  Someone really should look into that...
