Somehow I think PeeWee Herman's line might be relevant :

"I meant to do that!"

 

[Jeremy Allin]

Hope this hasn't been mentioned:

Multiple page threads discussing DVD Forum cliches.

 

[Jesse Skeen]

I sold my copy of this movie when I heard a Special Edition was on the way, but now it turns out the release is cancelled??!!

 

[Rob Gardiner]

I bought an entire season of X-Files on Ebay, crammed onto 3 discs, with no region coding and burnt-in Chinese subtitles, for $17. Is it a bootleg?

 

[Kevin M]

I wondered if you had caught that.

 

[Steve Christou]

"I beat the crap out of my little brother. I caught him watching a film in 'foulscreen'."

"I've run away from home, my mom and dad insisted on watching an old John Wayne western in pan & scan despite my protests. I hate them!"

 

[MarkHastings]

"(Insert month here) is going to be a killer for me!!!!" - I HATE when people say that. :rolleyes

or

"What DVD (or CD, etc.) did you buy this week?" - WHO CARES!!!!????

 

[Jeff Swearingen]

My favorite teeth-grinder always has been:

When is the modern classic, (insert name of critically-panned box office failure, typically a lousy comedy), coming to DVD?

Miracle on 34th Street (Maureen O'Hara) is a classic.
Bad Santa is not.

 

[Kevin M]

You know....as this thread plays out and the major consistent topics of conversation are criticized the question does come to mind...why do we even come here then?

 

[Zen Butler]

Yeah, how many people's wallets have been "murdered?"

 

[Cees Alons]

< Enter name of any highly successful huge box-office success or generally very loved and admired, repeatedly successful director, actor or actress here >

in any list involving the request to name:

- worst films/directors/actors/actresses ever

- movies/persons you simply hate

- worst (mis)casting decisions ever

- movies you never saw the end of because you
(1) fell asleep,
(2) left the theater, or
(3) switched off the TV-set

- movies/directors/actors/actresses you consider highly overrated

- directors, actors or actresses who's involvement in it will absolutely make you decide to skip a movie

- worst flaws in any film

- movies that need to be remade with a different cast

- worst adaptions of a book

- comedies that made you cry / sad films that made you laugh

- typical tear-jerkers / chick flicks

- what were they thinking.

"I just watched (Insert DVD Title) in my million dollar projector/tv, billion dollar speakers and gazillion dollar receiver."

Does anyone actually believe that by telling us, when we did not ask, what your whole system consist of will make you any more special?

 

[John Watson]

"I say the major annoyances still don't offset the large percentage of good, solid conversation that is here. We're just exposing the fluff. Poking fun at ourselves."

Sure, its fun, until somebody gets hurt!

More Forum Foibles : so and so has died - "RIP"

Why can't we have a Room for discussion of New Wave Rock DVD's?

This thread is moving into politics and we've had enough.

And the ever popular art of Thread Hijacking!

 

[MarkHastings]

LOL - I often read those threads and feel like the "RIP" comments are trying to express something more than just grief.



How about the ever popular "insurance" comment (or "You can't make fun of or ridicule me because I am adding in this line" comment) at the beginning of the thread:

-I did a search and couldn't find anything.......

or

-Mods please delete if this is inappropriate.......

 

[Steve Christou]

[John Watson]

Then there's the folks who want us to write their term papers for them.

 

[George See]

DVD-A is better then SACD because (insert 5 paragraphs of numbers and terms that mean nothing to almost everyone)

SACD is Better then DVD-A because (you know the drill)

"Sounds like pink floyd" i've heard at least every album on the planet compared to pink floyd at one time or another on the music forum.

"My 2 year old knows the difference why are all childrens movies in foolscreen?"

"Blah blah blah blockbuster blah blah manager blah blah blah widescreen"

"It's at X percent on rotton tomatoes when does that ever happen?"

"HTF Challenge watch every movie ever made"

 

[Zen Butler]

Or the new famous "polite chat-jacking"
:b

 

[PaulP]

Ooh, sounds like a challenge indeed!

 

[MarkHastings]

I'm having trouble just watching every movie I've purchased. :b
