annoying mandatory previews

[Magnum007]

Hi,
Has anyone figured out some of the following:

1. A way to go directly to the Menu and to bypass all those (sometimes up to 10 of them) REALLY ANNOYING previews that are on Blue Ray Discs?

2. Have the blue ray player 'remember' where you stopped the movie so that when you turn it on, you can start at the point you stopped (and thus avoid the annoying previews mentioned in #1)?

Dunno if this is a factor, but I've got a Sony BDP-S350.

Thanks in advance.
