Rules you have for watching or not watching a movie.

[EBM_dude]

I will not watch a movie if someone of the following dudes or dudettes appears in there:

- Fran Drescher
- Dolph Lundgren
- Michael Dudikov
- Bette Midler
- Sarah Jessica Parker
- Jeniffer Aniston
- Vin Diesel (edit: except Saving Private Ryan)
- Brad Pitt

Nothing directed by Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich for me, thanks.

Soundtrack is also important. I nixed Dune because bloody Toto did the music; finding out the movie was a steaming pile merely confirmed my choice. The only way Lynch (of whom I'm not a fan) could've redeeemed it was by arranging for Toto to play in an open space and get eaten by a sandworm mid-song. THAT I would pay money to see.

 

[Pano]

I had a buddy who would not watch "any movie directed by Opie, Meathead or Laverne." That always cracked me up. (R. Howard, R. Reiner, P. Marshall for you foreign types)

Guess I'm just a Cine-ho. I'll watch anything. Even enjoy a lot of it. No rules at all.

Pano, sounds like the wife. She grew up in Peru and they soak up movies like sponges.

The fun part is finding gems she has never seen before. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is one of her new favorites.

More's the pity- you missed the deservedly-iconic "Office Space."

 

[jlsem]

She was excellent in Office Space. Maybe that was the perfect role for her, like Lisa Kudrow in Clockwatchers. Aniston was scheduled to do a movie about Dickey Chapelle that I was interested in seeing but it never panned out.

Julia Roberts has been number one on my no-watch list since I saw the trailer for Pretty Woman.

[EBM_dude]

Oh yes, I forgot to add Julia Roberts to my no-go list.

 

[CBS240]

Vin Diesel...yeah...forgot him. Don't know who the Rock is.....luckily I presume.

Dwayne Johnson AKA the Rock

He was a terrible actor even on the WWE stage.

Sometimes a cool pic is enough to capture my interest. LOL.
I used to ride one that looked like that.

 

[audi0]

Can I add Chuck Norris to the no-go list!

You had a Munch Mammoth or did it just look like one?


I avoid all films with slo-motion action scenes, especially if they are repeated from different angles.

 

[wakibaki]

I am incorruptible and therefore I can watch anything I want, but You are not incorruptible and therefore you cannot watch anything you want.

Watching Chuck Norris can be funny, in a Mac Gyver kind of way
Beer, couch and TV, eye focus at infinity and brain activity at zero...

 

[Cassiel]

brain activity at zero...

Let's say brain activity at 1, enough to process images. For some strange reason I can watch Seagal's movies; maybe because he's hard on women...dunno.
The rest of "action guys" are just too small. LOL

You had a Munch Mammoth

Not even close, a 70's Susuki. Same color though. Oh and mine had also that vintage look. Made in Germany. Burned more oil than gas. Spent a fortune in repairs. Lesson learned, no more vintage mechanics for me.

 

[Cassiel]

More "useful" data:

Rules change depending on the state of mind I'm in:

 

[jacco vermeulen]

70's Suzuki. Burned more oil than gas.

Didn't they all.

(single rule : pants open or pants closed)

 

[Pano]

Well my 70's Suzuki burned oil with gas. It was two stroke. AFAIK, all 70's Suzuki bikes were. (expect the rotary) Is that what you meant, Jacco?

Mine was the 550cc 3 cylinder.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

Yep, first 4-stroke came halfway the '70s ('76 afair).

 

[Cassiel]

Didn't they all.

Well, now I understand the reason behind all those piston cracks.

Can't remember model number, so many bikes, so much pot. I'll Google it.

 

[Cassiel]

Bah, can't find it. Not worth the trouble anyway. It was a 400cc 1 cylinder.
I remember her dying slowly. Don't miss her. Travelling with a 5 liter motor oil on the passenger seat and checking the oil level every 50km wasn't fun.
