As a frequent flyer, I find this kind of thing immensely irritating. Sure, if it was a long haul holiday-of-a-lifetime flight from Europe to NZ the Hobbit epic has its place, but when they do this stuff on short-haul business flights I'm just praying for them to shut up and leave me in peace. British Airways had some charity effort last year featuring various smug celebrities that felt like it went on for ever; meanwhile Lufthansa would continue doing the in-person demo, bilingually, in a fraction of the time, so I could go back to thinking about work or doing whatever else I wanted to do with my time.
