Post Oh Dear God what is Wrong
Why in the heck can't I watch most movies more than once ? Can't watch any tv shows more than once. The only way I can usually is if its been a very low time with movies. Like 1 to 3 years + but once I see it again I can't watch it again without turning it off usually only 5 to 30 mins into the movie. Has anyone ever thought about when watching a movie more than once that they could be wasting time that they could instead see a new fresh movie instead thats just as good if not better? I always have this in the back of my mind whenever I rarely can watch a movie more than once in just a few days or months. I wish there was some kind of device that could delete your memories of the whole movie so you can rewatch movies over and over again like its your first time seeing it each time. Thats the greatest and least boring time in my opinion. It would be so nice to have this espically after being spoiled by so many trailers, etc sometimes.

Get a life dude. :razz:

j/k

I can watch movies more than once, as long as i leave about a good 6 to 12 months inbetween, then im fine. i do like to watch new fresh movies, but its nothing major, if i watch an old movie, its fine, if its new, its also fine. Obviously your not woed like a new movie may wow you, but i watch movies ive seen before because i know theyll make me happy for the mood i am in.

See thats why such a device to delete all your memories from a movie would be so cool! You could know exactly what movies you could always watch new and know for sure you would like. Is there such a device out there? That has to be. There is something for everything.

Another cool thing I wish was possible always is to beable to look at a movie and instantly know if you will like it or not before seeing it. Thats not really possible with all movies. Some movies I can do that with but not all. I wish it was possible to do that so you don't waste your time on the movies you won't like after you see them.

Thats the whole point of a movie. It will entertain you. But if you already know if youll like it or not, whats the point.

I've heard that if you bang your head really, really hard against a brick wall, you will forget a few movies and be able to enjoy them once again. Please let me know if you have success with this idea, imtim!

What do you mean whats the point? I rather watch a movie I like than don't. There have been so many movies where they were rated so well and I hated them. Thats not always the case though. I hate trying to watch a movie I don't like. I rather know before hand before even seeing the movie which is what I can usually do but not for all movies of course sense its hard to know for sure with some movies.

I wish you could fix movies you didn't like to be better so you like them more. For example like Terminator 3 Rise of the machines it was pretty good but I wish it was possible to fix it yourself somehow. Is that possible? Not talking about spending millions to fix it but somehow fix it yourself.

I don't have to try things to know they are bad. Like some movies, beer, smoking, and many other things.

You take that back...beer is not bad!

Are you sure you didn't try that hitting your head against a brick wall thing a long time ago?
