DVD Forum Cliches (1 Viewer)

[Amy Mormino]

I love going on DVD forums for entertainment and news about my beloved shiny discs, but sometimes I get a little tired/amused at the same phrases being used again and again. Ones like these:
1. Some variation on: "I can't believe (insert movie title) is being released, while (obscure movie title) hasn't been released!"
2. "Now that (movie title) is coming out, I can die happy!" I envy people who write this, as I wish my goals in life could be totally fulfilled by a DVD release.
3. "I'm doing the happy naked dance!" I kind of like that one.
4. "Damn you (Universal, Columbia, MGM, Disney, Paramount, George Lucas, etc.)!!!!"
5. And the eternal classic: "No OAR: No Sale!"

Any others that I haven't mentioned?

 

[Andrew Chong]

Not to look down on those who have mentioned these as I have sometimes thought these myself.

No OSL (original sound and language), no sale.

(Insert Studio Name) is at it again; when describing any number of things that seem to form a pattern with respect to a particular company.

(effectively) Money is better spent on anything but BOSE.

 

[WillG]

"According to the last (insert studio here) chat........"

I'm guilty of that one.

 

[Zen Butler]

1. IBTL
2. "I just saw __________and all I can say is WOW! +Insert about 4-5 paragraphs here+
3. Argh!
4. WTF
5. "with only occassional signs of haloing"
6. "Hans Shoots First"
7. "Fool Screen"
8. J6P
9. "Superbit, is it REALLY worth it?"
10. Acronyms
11. "Anywho"

-edited by me- Mine was dumb. Never mind

 

[Jesse Skeen]

(Name of movie) has been released for the first time in widescreen, brand-new transfer at a list price of $9.99, but has no extras, not even a trailer! (Name of studio) should be ashamed of giving this great film such shoddy treatment!

 

[Kristian]

"Why is there no insert on the [name of movie] DVD?!"

 

[Cees Alons]

"No Snapper, no sale!"

Hey, wait... no that wasn't it, exactly... Hmmm.

In response to a tantalizing array of new releases for the year by XYZ Studio:

"There's nothing on the list that I want"

"Still no Fill In The Blank? C'mon XYZ, what's the hold up?"

"What? Fill In The Blank is being released in mono only? If ever a film needed a 5.1 remix, this is it"

 

[Rob Gardiner]

1. New and clever ways to work in a silica reference.

2. Product X is a rip-off considering product Y (unrelated item from a completely different company) costs much less.

3. Why isn't this classic film, which sounded fine in the first place, remixed into 5.1???

 

[Dave Simpson]

",,,this one will be mine!", and variations thereof, upon the announcement of the release of a new title. Cheers.

[Zen Butler]

How funny, I forgot about this one. (That's great and thanks for posting that tidbit of information.)

 

[Jaxon's Dad]

"I've said it before and I'll say it again...(Insert redundant and therefore useless tidbit here)"

"They'd better have FEATURE ie. anamrphic, DTS, new extras, etc...." I always want to say "Or else... you'll do what exactly...? Not buy it??

 

[Jaxon's Dad]

Double Post. Sorry.

 

[Kevin M]

During any poll of favorite...whatever, someone always chimes in with "I can't believe someone hasn't mentioned...". Yeah, but your going to so why bother with this pseudo-"I'm so great and you all are stupid for not thinking of it first" nonsense?

 

[Jacob McCraw]

Using the first letters of the title of a movie without first spelling out the title as if everyone should know what THJDKIDJGFNGJCBNEHFJJKGJD is.

 

[Rob Gardiner]

Where is season 2 of my favorite "orphaned" TV-on-DVD release? (Twin Peaks, MTM, etc.)

THREAD TITLE: "Project X coming to DVD" (no question mark)
POST CONTENT: "Does anyone know if/when Project X will ever make it to DVD?"


Thanks, Doug, that's another well-known cliche.

 

[Kevin M]

Jacob, Hate that.

 

[Rob Gardiner]

Did I get the wrong copy of THE SHINING / FULL METAL JACKET / EYES WIDE SHUT???


VOYAGER / INSURRECTION / NEMESIS / ENTERPRISE stinks!
