I'm gonna call you Ol' Eagle Eye, Rob! Totally unintentional on my part, but you're quite right!

 

[Tory]

None of this interests me

 

[Cees Alons]

"To my ears the track sounded more -" (fill in positive categorization, or meant as such, i.e. 'clear', 'spatial', 'defined', 'transparant').


Notes:
(1) This usually, but not always, involves a DTS track.
(2) Unfortunately, whenever I open the box i.q. the poster's ears are NOT included, making this remark useless to me and anybody else.

What's with all of the edge enhancement on insert title?

Followup

What's edge enhancement? or.. I don't see any EE.

"Rate my collection"

 

[Jason Seaver]

"I didn't go out to see this in the theater and don't see how it wasn't a huge hit!"

"That's it, I'm not going to theaters any more!"

Boldfacing "dts" and setting its color to red in the middle of a sentence.

 

[Zen Butler]

Jacob, word up!, should be number one on everyone's list. I mean these cats are so busy, they can't spare a moment to provide the HTF body with whole words? Are you on the go there, CEO? I mean who types reteuioresdhfhsfhgfioe, and goes "Oh yeah, this is some of my finest? Furthermore, not find it rude.
Not feelin' that at all.

"I won't see [name of movie] in theaters because it looks like crap... but I'll still buy the DVD."

 

[Jesse Skeen]

I just bought this movie- should I open it up and watch it, or sell it?

I sold this movie and now find out it's out of print, where can I find another copy?

Should I buy this 10-disc deluxe edition now, or will they put out a better edition later?

... or better yet, Nevada :b

More generally, I hate it when people use "your" in place of "you're", e.g. "Your right". My right what?

Don't get me started on "[...] jumped the shark", closely followed by "the expression 'jumped the shark' has jumped the shark" and variations (like this one).

Oh, and then there are those who forget the accent in clichés...

 

[WillG]

"I don't care about extras anyway"

 

[John Kilduff]

"Extras are gravy".

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

And

Sincerely,

John Kilduff.

What about the all mighty, ultimate insult?

Changing "S" for "$"

Dang, Luca$, Di$ney, $pielberg, Dreamwork$, etc...

I just know the studios execs have gone home crying because
someone suggested they are profit-hungry.

 

[Andrew Budgell]

I hate when it seems like people will buy anything and everything that is released. Someone posted above something like "I didn't really like the movie in theatres, but I'll try it out again on DVD." Makes me wonder why people are throwing their money away.

PS This is a great thread!

I started lurking here in March and registered in May and I've noticed quite a few.

Two I've noticed:

"(Insert studio name) has gone from best to worst in the last year."


"This one isn't getting a double dip from me."

 

[Patrick Soucy]

"I Can't wait for the DVD release"

"The Cover is really ugly" AND "Why they dont used the theatrical poster?"

"Lucas, we want the classic trilogy unmodified...!" (well, not me, but the majority here!)

"DVD Rot? Oh my god!!!"

 

[Rob Gillespie]

"Color (sic) wrong on The Matrix - do I have a bad copy?"

"Streaks in Saving Private Ryan - do I have a bad copy?"

"Why isn't Star Wars coming out on DVD?"
