Tell me about your eccentricities as a movie lover - Blu-ray Forum

Q? · 01-21-2010, 03:59 PM

I have a few, I will leave a room if a movie I absolutely love is playing, I refuse to watch a movie midway

Tell me about yours..

P@t_Mtl · 01-21-2010, 04:04 PM

I can't watch just a episode from a TV series. I have to start from the first one and see the entire series

+1

I could watch BSG or Sopranos all the way through like 9 or 10 times in a row before I get tired of them.

When watching a movie on "movie night" at the house..everyone has to be seated before the movie start and no talking during the movie.

CZAR · 01-21-2010, 04:24 PM

First and foremost it has to be dark. Even during daytime all the blinds have to be closed and I need it dark as possible. Got Em!!

Same here, I love it really dark. Also for some reason the more excited I am about watching a film, the more I want to eat during it (Snacks). I don't eat snacks that often and I am 6'2 200lbs so I am not out of shape.

When Star Trek was released on Blu I was so excited to see it that I ate a whole pizza while it was playing. I just can't explain it.

I only allow short comments

CZAR AMEN!

Chordata · 01-21-2010, 04:26 PM

I have no problem, and in fact sort of like, pausing a movie and returning to it later that day, the next day, or several days later.

I am the complete opposite of Q!.

I definitely miss the days of "quiet" movie watching. It's nearly impossible to do at home since my girl's a total extroverted chatterbox.

Gizz · 05-14-2016, 07:26 AM

I don't like to turn off a film even if I hate it I will stick with it. I remember turning of St Elmo's Fire three times but still finished it, what a awful film however I have even broken that rule some times if a film is that bad Dinner for Schmucks was the last time I could not stand that film.

Johnny Vinyl · 01-21-2010, 04:18 PM

I have to eat dinner or snack during a movie, and I won't start watching it until everything is in place and we're ready. None of this "start the movie and I'll be there in a sec" kinda thing.

Not the dinner, but I do the same!
It just has to be perfect...

And G (pat) yours makes sense

Yep, I just can't do it. So I have to watch the series spread over many nights of course but I have to do it. Which now remind's me, I haven't watch Buffy in a while...will have to get that started soon I think

I do the same thing. If I'm going to snack or have a drink, I don't start until everything is sitting on my coffee table. Although you can pause a movie in the comforts of your home, I usually try and use the bathroom before as well.

Rob71 · 01-21-2010, 05:02 PM

I have every seat in my theater equipped with an "elecrical discharge device" and tied into my remote.

I can't stand talking during a movie. But everyone who watches movies with me knows it, so it's usually not a problem.

carpaltonnel · 02-16-2010, 05:22 AM

My fiancee is an RN which means she works 13 hour days. By the time she gets home she is usually really tired, by still wants to watch a movie with me. I tell her that if she isn't going to be able to get through the WHOLE movie without falling asleep on the couch then I'm not going to even start the movie.
We actually invented a term for this called "TWO PIECING" Which basically means as soon as she has the slightest sigh or feels herself falling into dreamland, we stop the movie right there and resume at that exact point the next night.
I really HATE "Two Piecing"

HypoJack · 02-16-2010, 10:46 AM

I have to do alot of research on the movie before I see it, to bring me in the right mood. And I mostly enjoy watching movies by myself - then I avoid people talking and falling asleep during the movie.

But ofcourse if i'm going to the cinemas I bring some pals.
