it gets shown on t.v.

Does that seem right to you ?

C'mon, fess up. How many are guilty of this too ? It makes no sense, but I own a few movies ( Spiderman, XMen, X2, Lord of the Rings,etc... ) and seldom find time to rewatch them. Oh, but then TNT or TBS shows them back to back on the weekend, and I can't NOT watch!

What's up with that?

I actually do re watch from time to time.. I don't want them to lose their very specialness... so I don't watch over and over.. but I have a theory about watching on TV..

I think there is something about watching it on TV you are "sharing" the experience with a lot of other ppl.. there is a sense of community.

Bingo! I was thinking that exactly! There's something about it being broadcasted that lets you know everyone else interested is watching at that time too.

Kinda similar to when we try to coordinate everyone watching their FIREFLY DVDs on Friday nights, at 8pm. But different. (sigh)

I liked the preview for Lord of the Rings next week on TBS, and the 'It sucks to be Frodo 'line. Too gorram funny!

I do that, but with tapes, so that they don't get worn out. Plus, those commercial breaks are a lot more convenient than putting the movie on pause, and then having to put it on pause again every three minutes.

But you have to admit that some tv stations take advantage of commericals - putting like 7 in a row every 15 mins of show we get to see - thats the part i dont like

oh well i guess everything has its own faults

Watching it on TV doesn't require me to get up and put the DVD into the DVD player.

I think that's why I do it alot.

You mean you then re-watch it on broadcast? I'd have to say almost never to that. I do -sometimes- pop the dvd in when I notice a show's being broadcast, but I prefer to do my own pause at my convenience. In general, I'm done with the move 15 to 20 minutes earlier than the broadcast and I don't have to find a way to ignore the goram commercials.

However, for the times I pop a dvd movie in, I'd say "being reminded by broadcast" is only... 10% of my movie selections?
