Are There Movie Scenes You FF or Skip?

[jtu128]

Just currious and there movies that you enjoy, however certains scenes you skip or fast forward through? Perhaps, you find a scene to be boring, unsettling, or skippable?

My vote goes for The Girl With The Drgaon Tatoo for the rape scene. I understand it's purpose to the story, however I find it difficult to watch.

I skip chapters just to get to the naughty scenes.

Don't ever watch I Spit on Your Grave. You'll be FF'ing most of the movie.

The only movie I FF is actually not on BD, yet. On the DVD "It's All Gone Pete Tong" I FF the scene where the main character (Frankie Wilde) wakes up from a night of DJ-ing and he's so coked up that he coughs and has a huge loogie hanging from his nose. This lasts about 2 minutes while the wife is dialoging asking him about interior design. I can't watch that!!!

I usually skip the ludovico treatment scenes in A Clockwork Orange. I don't enjoy watching those scenes

Yeah, that movie is brutal. But, without the rape scenes there would be no movie to film.

I liked the film, but, not enough to own it or watch it over and over.

I don't always do it as I do enjoy the complete versions but I'll often watch Superman: The Movie by skipping ahead to Clark Kent's arrival to the Daily Planet, skipping ahead to Bruce Wayne's homecoming in Batman Begins (I've waited years and years for Batman's origin story and realised I didn't care.... I wish Nolan had been bolder with the temporal editing and had Batman straight at the beginning!) and everything apart from the modern day stuff in Highlander (it flies by!).

or Irreversible for that matter

Out of all 500+ blu-rays I own, I fast-forwarded only through one Blu-ray - the dolphin-killing scene in White Squall.

[ObiWanShinobi]

Neh. If I felt the need to fast forward through the same scene every time I watched "said movie" I'd feel silly owning the movie to begin with.

Thats just me though.

I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but this discussion may be more suited the the movie subforum, rather than the blu-ray one.

As to not be off-topic, I'll add an amusing anecdote. When I was a kid I always fast forwarded through The Lost World after the compy attack until they were back on the island to skip the "boring" parts (damn it, I wanted to see dinosaurs!). Likewise, although I loved horror movies, I would watch them holding the remote on the stop button, in case I panicked. I could also tell that I was probably a bit too young to watch them because I always skipped the sex scenes (strange how my upbringing could bring me guilt, even when I was completely alone).

[Flex Mentallo]

I always fast forward the first hour of Peter Jaclson's King Kong. It's the perfect movie after that first hour. The last time I watched KK in it's entirety was probably back in 2006 testing out the Xbox 360 HD DVD player.

I will always FF/Skip that horrendous song in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory where his mum sings "Cheer Up, Charlie".

I hate it.

I hate it.

I just skipped buying that one altogether. Gene Wilder or nothing for me.

Ooops. I meant Wonka/Wilder.
There is no "Cheer Up, Charlie in the Burton film (which I also like).

Not sure if you are pointing out his mistake or not, but he is referring to the Gene Wilder one, just using the wrong title.

"Cheer up Charlie" does not appear in Burton's adaptation.

EDIT: Dagnabbit, I am not the fastest poster in the west.

I stop watching Desperado after the Salma Hayek picks up our hero on the street. The movie loses all of its edge. And Office Space just isn't the same after they destroy the printer. I skip the rest of the film altogether. That said, I love both movies and I own both on Blu.

And yeah... this probably does belong in another folder.

[Javy3]

I don't really fast forward through any parts of a movie. I like to watch a movie from beginning to end and even hate picking up movies part way through as I flip through my movie channels.

I can find rape scenes hard to take but I can make it through and I would never buy a movie if I couldn't handle a certain scene. Like the Hills have eyes Unrated. That was just monster porn and I watched it all the way through one time and NEVER plan on watching it again, luckily I didn't buy it, my mother did.

I can't recall having skipped/FF in a movie, but I always do it with the TV show opening credits (when I've seen them before the first episode). I used to chapter skip the credits, but some studios have the first 15 or so minutes in the first chapter, and sometimes I'd start in the middle of an episode without knowing it and not understanding what was going on Now I just FF.

[poke smot]

han and jabba scene in sw 4. totally destroys the pace. the only addition i truly hate!
