i agree - people should stop seeing the mindless big budget nano second attention span mtv video style movies. If i hear about a show that is good i watch it once then buy it if i like it a lot. Same with movies - i watch them before i buy them - that is why i can never do a video like "my worst dvds i own" i have seen the movie before i buy it in 96% of the cases. As far as going to the cinema i only go about 4 times a year it seems. Too many dvds to watch to go to the show a lot.

Thanks for posting Dude, but I have a follow up questions.

You have seen the movies and TV shows before buying the DVDs, but have you actually rewatched them on the new DVD, or do you have some DVDs on your shelf that you haven't watched yet (even if you have seen the actual movie or TV show on the disc earlier somewhere else)?

Anyway, have a fantastic week. Thanks!

As long as folks pay to see crap, there will be more crap. That's it, in a nutshell. Recently I was watching a terrible film, one of the Friday the 13th films, I can't recall which (but it really doesn't matter), and thinking, this sucks, why am I watching it? I guess it's entertaining in its own disgusting, unimaginative way... but there is a line to be drawn. KING KONG LIVES may be the line, or perhaps BLOOD FEAST... probably KONG, because at least BLOOD FEAST never pretended to be art.

I don't really like to judge other people's tastes, but it always kills me when people complain about all the horrible films they have seen at the movies...DON'T GO THEN!

It's one thing to watch a crappy movie on TV/cable, or online or DVD even, but if people keep going to movie theaters and tuning in to watch incredible rotten television shows, what do they think that the lemmings in Hollywood are going to keep producing then? Sheesh.

Anyway...

I hope your weekend is going well Steve!

I don't go to the cinemas very much as well. Only when there is a new film by a director that I really love (like Cronenberg, Burton or Tarantino) I go and see it.

You kow, you're right when you say that people should start being selective, but most people go to the cinema just for entertainment and don't care for the movie or the director that much I think. They go there because they are bored and to see the newest thing or to make out with their girlfriends there. LOL

I agree completely Dominik. Most people go to the movies just to get out and do something these days, as opposed to seeing a specific film...I just wish that they would be pickier when they do. If you are going to go to a movie with friends or on a date, be choosy and select a film that is worth supporting, that way you will have a good time AND send a message to the entertainment industry.

BTW: Those are three great directors, I love all their work. :)

yeah man when i end up buying a season and say i have seen half of it or whatever - i rewatch the season from the start yes. The moives i watch right when i get them then watch the second disc or whatever right after. I would say 85% of my movies i have watched the extras AND the commentary to the movie also. I do have a few seasons i have not watched all of though - i have a couple seasons left of a couple shows that i have.

Yes..I Know I Came Down A Little Hard..I Know I Went A Little Too Far In Those Videos..I Admit That You Are Right About The People Who See The Shitty Films Are What's Really Killing Good Films Nowadays..Because People Are Such Idiots..But The Chance Of People Not Seeing Crappy Movies Is Not Very Likely,Because I Hate To Admit It But Today's Generation Sucks. Thanks For The Response..
