#86: Take a drink whenever anyone swears they remember exactly how they projected a certain film when they had a summer job in a movie house back in 1956.

 

[Tony-B]

It is impossible for the greatest group of all time to be overrated!

Beatles, greatest group of all-time...NO WAY!

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Beatles, greatest group of all-time...NO WAY!

That's a good one Tony!!!

 

[Tony-B]

That's a good one Tony!!!

What? I'm not kidding...

They are like an early version of Nsync, that actually plays instruments...



(Note: Tony is a metalhead)

87. Inhale a keg if someone posts a critique of a product be it a speaker, amplifier, etc. stating how bad it is and it could never be as good as the thousands of people that rate it highly, yet they have never heard/used the product once or intend to.

88. Drink a 12 pack all at once if you have started a post in the forum and someone just has to come into your thread and start spouting off about something that has nothing to do with what you just talking about.

89. Drink a 5th of your favorite hard liquor if you have just read one funny as hell thread and you just sprayed your desktop monitor with your favorite drink or dinner.

90. Check into your favorite ER after all the above for acute alcohol intoxication and be put on a ventilator. And don't forget about those great DTs.

...because 1/5th is all that's left, even if you tilt your keyboard to your mouth and drink some of the rest from the corner (just found out).

91. Submit to an upside-down margarita whenever a new "what's better: DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD?" thread rears its ugly head. Chase it with an absinthe if the thread degenerates into a "what's better: PCM or DSD?" thread within 10 posts.

 

[Christ Reynolds]

Beatles, greatest group of all-time...NO WAY!

cmon, everyone knows its The Who.

92. take a drink for every REPEATED DVD-A vs SACD, GameCube vs XBOX, DTS vs DD, THX or non THX thread. chug the rest of it if the thread gets so heated that it gets closed down.

Rule #93: Take a drink if someone creates a new thread regarding "Matrix Ping Pong." (Do a search in the AHL for "ping pong" or "table tennis" and you'll see what I mean.)

 

[Ricardo C]

Rule #94: Take a drink every time you come across a post in which the author refuses to use proper punctuation, and instead prefers to separate his sentences like this:

"Well, I hated the film...Not sure what you all saw in...Should make a decent rental, though...But it's not worth paying full price at the theater...IMO"

Rule #95: Take a drink whenever "Shaolin Soccer" is mentioned anywhere in the forum.

 

[Ric Bagoly]

Take a drink anytime you see a "negative thread", trashing a DVD, person, or organized group...

Snort a line of coke whenever there's a thread about Documentaries...

Drop acid whenever a movie thread is started and it receives 50 consecutive positive posts...

Subject oneself to an electric shock upon coming upon a positive post for "Gigli"...

Dive headfirst into a swimming pool upon reading a negative review for "Lawrence Of Arabia"...

Take 10 aspirin when you stumble into a thread and have absolutely NO idea what they're talking about...

Stick your head in a stable and let the horse kick you in the head everytime The New York Jets win a football game...

and finally...

Run your car at full speed into a brick wall everytime "Original Star Wars Trilogy" and "DVD" are mentioned in the same thread, anytime, anywhere.

Walter Kittel was found passed out drunk, and Ric Bagoly was found dead at the bottom of a swimming pool today. Police are still investigating, but they are questioning George Kaplan who keeps repeating, "But Lawrence of Arabia is Boring..."

Rule #96: take a drink whenever someone asks why some godawful (in your opinion) movie or tv show isn't on DVD yet.

"Why isn't Bloody Maniac VII: Campus Carnage on DVD yet?"

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Walter Kittel was found passed out drunk, and Ric Bagoly was found dead at the bottom of a swimming pool today. Police are still investigating, but they are questioning George Kaplan who keeps repeating, "But Lawrence of Arabia is Boring..."

During Police questioning, it was determined that Mr. George Kaplan had never "watched" Lawrence of Arabia in the normal sense of the word.

In fact, Police determined that Mr. Kaplan had only "watched" Lawrence of Arabia in [rant]increments of 15 minutes each![/rant] Police confirmed that Mr. Kaplan was read his Miranda rights prior to making this admission.

When asked how Mr. Kaplan could make an accurate assessment of the quality of Lawrence of Arabia as a film having only watched it in 15 minute increments, Mr. Kaplan could only say that "if it's boring 15 minutes at a time, it's going to be even more boring at 222 minutes at a time".

At 15 minutes a day, it would have taken Mr. Kaplan nearly 15 days to "watch" Lawrence of Arabia

Mr. Kaplan is expected to plead insanity at trial.

 

[Walter Kittel]

I've been trying to figure out what to watch today. Once I get over my hangover , maybe I'll watch all 222 minutes of Lawrence of Arabia today.

( Hey! No jokes about a cure for a hangover either. )

- Walter.

 

[george kaplan]

Rob,

I know you're being humorous, but seriously, if you went to a 3 hour insurance seminar that had a break every 15 minutes, and you found it all 12 sessions incredibly boring, do you honestly think you would have found it any less boring if the whole seminar had been presented in one long 3 hour session?

 

[Cees Alons]

Ho, ho! Back to the topic at hand.

Rule #97: Take a glass any time you happen to find an in-depth review of the film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Rule #98: You're allowed a good glass of wine when encountering an NPPR (Naive Positive Personal Revelation) thread where someone discovers a well-known classic film

Rule #99: Take a heavy drink when someone asks for another *market ploy* version of a movie that made it to DVD already, again ignoring the many films that yet have to hit DVD altogether.

Rule #100 (yes, there it is): Get drunk if the version they ask for should even have another Disc Track Sacrificed.

[Mark Shannon]

Hey Cees, I hate to burst your bubble, but that's actually Rule # 101.. Technically you still had the hundredth post, but you made 101.

If you look at the top of the second page, I unknowingly posted Rule #66, which was already taken by Paul Fisher...

Oh well. Life's life.

 

[Cees Alons]

OK, but then I'd switch my #98 to #101....

[Gregg Shiu]

Rule #102: Take a drink when you see "Josh Whedon" in a thread, only too have the High Priest correct this within three more posts.
