Consumer Electronics Biggest waste of money on new tech

[Brad Goodman]

Yeah I've only seen about a dozen. If you don't like harry potter, lord of the rings, transformers or twilight there's not much there for you

Totally, the Pirates of The Caribbean series was the only thing getting me to double figures.

 

[Papa Juggs]

I haven't watched any Pirates. Don't like to see Depp playing a raving loony intertwined with fancy 3d graphics I'm sure they're are millions that do though.

Never sat through The Lion King start to finish.

Jurassic Park When you look at the bias towards newer movies this really is one of the greatest ever. Dinosaurs weren't cool until this made them cool.

Never watched any Spidermans either. Wrong actor. I don't buy into the Disney style nice guy prince charming heroes any more. I want bad ass killers that do what needs to be done like James Bond.

Sorta chewed my way though Harry Potter.

Thought LOTR started well but was over done. They wanted to save too much from the old storylines and just made it confusing and drawn out.

Acting choices put me off big movies no matter the budget.

Putting Sigourney Weaver in Avatar made it for me. Fairly average without her I'd say.

I reckon I've gone a little off topic so lets try to pull it back.

Do you really need home cinema to enjoy all these movies? I watched Avatar on cam rip at home as soon as it came out. In full detail it wasn't as good. Hard to work it out.

I'm another one that hasn't seen Avatar in any form - I have seen 21 of those films in the top 50, mostly courtesy of Harry Potter, LoTR and Star Wars. What's with all of the Shrek movies in there?

 

[watts4ever]

ive seen 37 of those films

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Yeah I haven't seen any of the LOTR, Star Wars movies.

And I watched Titanic.... fell asleep and got to watch the good bit at the end when they crash.

 

[watts4ever]

you've never seen star wars????

 

[Igloo]

Or more to the point, you've never seen LOTR?! But both questions are valid

 

[dales.girl38]

I haven't seen Titanic, but I have seen LoTR and Star Wars. Something isn't right here.

 

[Troubadour]

Have never understood the hype surrounding Avatar. Thought it was a sh1te, long winded movie.

OT - Have a mate who loves his technology. Paid $2k for a dvd player when they first came out. Went big on Mini-Discman, and may have flirted with Laser-Disc (LP sized dvd's sort of)

Crash...into the ice...? So you slept for another 1hr 15min?

I though the Titanic sank.

Another one here who hasn't seen Avatar.

Just had a look at the 50 highest grossing films of all time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films), and I've only seen ten of them.

I purchased the blu-ray, but it is still sealed........

Out of that list i have not seen: The third transformers movie, Harry Potter movies, LOTR movies, Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Shrek movies, Ice Age, The Chronicles of Narnia, Twilight: Breaking Dawn + New Moon + Eclipse (i have seen the original though ).

 

[Papa Juggs]

I think there is some truth to the argument "too much quality = s**t".

Long live cam rips

I'm one that just can't resist and isn't going to actually head to the cinema.

Should have added that series to my original post...haven't seen them either

Most blockbusters are awful and appeal to the lowest common denominator. Try telling me that Adam Sandler is genuinely funny, or his films are of worth.

He is genuinely funny and a vast majority of his films are of worth.

I think hidden camera's in toilets are very good investments now. There's a lot of people using excessive toilet papers. So when you catch them doing it, you can tell them off. Using full flush instead of half flush. More importantly, when they're not sitting on the toilet properly huge OH&S issue there.

Don't you agree?

Funny you should say that, we have a heap of asian people at my work who have been squatting on the toilet seat, breaking the seats, slipping off and hurting themselves and leaving crap everywhere. Theyve had to put massive signs up in the toilet.

 

[Miqar_Baqfhied]

Seen avatar in 3d. Sorta wish I bought a carton of piss instead.

Vow to never watch it....or any animated movie in general. Looks shite.

STOP LOOKING AT ME SWAN!

 

[Maroon Goon]

I'll have you know the local servo/video store/doctors surgery/vet has a fine selection of movies to rent

Anything like this fine establishment?

 

[Mancey]

Sorta. certainly didn't stock hermaphrodidic pr0n

If you include on dvd etc. I've seen 31 of them... Not sure if should feel ashamed of that or not.
