Ernhardt errors: ESPN's movie "3," based on the life of NASCAR driver Dale Ernhardt, would have been a good movie to watch if it wasn't interrupted by commercials every 10 minutes. I'm not sure if it was just a ploy to get people to buy the DVD or not. After the first 20 minutes were not interrupted, a commercial was run every 10 minutes for the next hour or so. And they were nearly all the same commercial. I knew every kiss began with K (as in the jewelry store) after the first 15 times I had to watch the commercial. I also did not need to see the 200 million ESPN commercials for a new original series, which I already knew was coming in January.
I think it was a disserve to what could have been a good movie to run so many commercials. It made the movie look disjointed and seem to lack any kind of flow.
