Re: The Good Will Video Challenge
Theres always going to be an appeal for a niche crowd of bad film fans. That said i certainly don't go out of my way for them. As shogun said with so many digital options looking in goodwill is outdated. I suppose it could be fun for the extra randomness of it if you're up for anything. But as much ...

Re: How often do you rewatch films?
I rewatch some movies at least once a year. I make a night out of watching Event Horizon with a friend every September. After 5 years its basically another holiday. That will leave you pretty jaded I find. I've gone on streaks where I haven't seen anything decent in months and your only salvation i...

Re: How often do you rewatch films?
Used to be almost never until i decided to only watch movies id already seen for one month. It was pretty interesting and alot of fun. While i still don't rewatch at a tremendous rate that month renewed my appreciation for multiple viewings. Not at first after that but gradually i got to where i am ...

That second one sounds distinctly like The 7th Voyage of Sinbad

Re: How do you rate movies you have abandonned halfway throu
Your examples are all of generally highly praised films. I have no problem fastforwarding a very cliche movie during overlong "seen it all before" bits or parts that are just awful and practically irrelevant. My example would be the psychologist scenes of Zombie's Halloween 2. He already e...

Re: How do you rate movies you have abandonned halfway throu
I rate them 0 if they're so bad or boring i can't finish them. Not a big issue for me since i love trash and am masochistic about all but the very worst movies and determinedly and stubbornly finish every one i can. Ive only turned off about 5 movies. Keep in mind that i don't just subject myself to...

Re: When do you rate films?
I put a number to a film immediately but minireviews are either immediate or up to several days and i may adjust that number up or down a tiny bit -- usually not more than 3pts -- as i collect my thoughts on the film. But i do like to get ny first gut reaction to the film scored as quickly as possib...

Re: Theatrical vs. Streaming releases
I guess my hobby of collecting gets in the way too. Where going to the theater im spending money on an overall experience more so than just a film when it comes to paying $10 minus the experience id just buy a blu ray. As i thought about it and the times i have gone out of my way to a screening i re...

Re: Theatrical vs. Streaming releases
Being married and the fact that our theater of choice has a great bar for premovie drinks means that regular theater visits can get cost prohibitive. I tend to only go for movies i have a very good idea i will like and that i think will greatly benefit from the large screen and large speakers of a t...
