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

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.

+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.

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

And G (pat) yours makes sense

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.

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

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!!

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 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.

Well, it depends on what movie we're watching, I'm not a "hometheater nazi"

Comedys or just entertaining movies it doesn't matter, now serious movies that requires your complete attention, that's a different matter...

Moefiz · 01-21-2010, 04:31 PM

Another thing for me also is if I do have to pause for some reason, once I start the movie again I have to go back a few scenes before it was paused.

I told a buddy of mine here at work who lent me There Will Be Blood that I'd probably watch some of it tonight, then finish it tomorrow.

He was horrified.

LOL

I actually usually start a movie 2 chapters in to skip the FBI warning then jump back to the 1st chapter.

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.

The Dragon · 01-21-2010, 04:45 PM

When I purchase new movies, I absolutely have to put it on on a specific scene/chapter to test audio, video quality, and navigate the menus first-before placing it into a pile set aside for movies to watch next... Sometimes it still doesn't get viewed before others, sometimes it'll get viewed before some that have been in that plie a while.

... All before it goes into the regular storage where the rest are kept.

i hate watching movies at home or in the theater with people that fall asleep
