How to Really Watch a Movie
As odd as the title might seem, many people do not know HOW to watch a movie. This is mainly because the person doesn't have interest in a certain movie or is very unorganized. No matter what, even if you do not want to see a movie and you end up watching it anyways, follow these guidlines. You never know, you just might like that film.

What if we're at the theatres?

Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
Well that should still apply, right? Red curtains, large screen just like every other movie theater mainly. Comedy movies in a theater, it's not like you have to go alone. Get releaxed, that's easy. Well you can't pause a movie at the theaters, which is in this case a good thing. Food and drink, you don't have to go on some crusade to find your snacks, do you?

Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
I could get nitpicky, but nah.
Also, your #2 rule doesn't necessarily have to apply to comedies. I can think of a few films that I've seen that can't really be classed as comedies but were still hilarious to watch in the company of others anyway Blue Velvet stands out in my mind, watching it by yourself can get a little creepy, yet I saw it in theatres a couple of months ago and thought it was comedy gold. |
Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
I watch movies every night on my laptop in my bed.
I missing half of it since I'm dozing off all the time. I often pause it to post here, or check my e-mail. And I damn well like it! ;) Thanks for the guidelines mate, but I think we're all fine. |
Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
Fair enough KK, but you can't really say you've experienced the films you're watching when you're watching them like that.
Unless of course, they're "movies", not "films". |
Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
I watch movies the way Moviegoer outlines. I like movie "experiences", which is hard to achieve when you're pausing the movie. I'd imagine movie's like 2001 would be completely ruined if you went out to do make yourself a bowl of ramen in the middle of it.
But whatever, you do what you do. |
Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
Well, 2001 does have an intermission, you know.

Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
Well, I didn't go anywhere is my point.

Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
If there is a movie I've been waiting for in the theaters coming out the next day I try to not eat/drink early beforehand - how much does it suck to go to the restroom in a middle of a movie your seeing the first time.

Re: How to Really Watch a Movie

Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
Can you tell us how to watch a naughty movie next?

Naughty movie watching 101.

Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
There is no one way/more accurate way to watch a film/movie. It all depends on the person. As long as they truly enjoy it, who cares how they watch it. It's not like we're learning how to drive a car, and need to follow the driver's manual. I'd sooner people not wing that one.
"Sure, the red light means stop, but I'm not in one of those pausing moods, today." Special K, unless I'm mistaken, people refer to the better movies in life, as film, and the crappier movies in life, as movies. I use both words randomly. Pretty much because, you know, they're all movies. ;) If I'm wrong, then someone else can answer that. |

Re: How to Really Watch a Movie
Hmmmmm...interesting thread.
For me, the ideal way to watch movies, especially great classics like West Side Story, Wizard of Oz, 2001: A Space Odyssey-to name afew, is to watch them on a great big, wide screen, in a real movie theatre, with the lights down low. It doesn't matter whether I'm alone or with other people. If I need to make a trip to the lavatory, I make a point of doing that during any slower part(s) of whatever movie(s) I'm watching. The same thing is true if I'm watching a classic movie at home on the TCM (Turner Classic Movies) Channel, which I occasionally do. With the exception of a film such as Billy Jack, I never, ever watch movies on my computer. I don't have a DVD player, because I'm not much of a TV watcher. There's something special about going to the theatre and watching movies as they're really meant to be seen. Wearing comfortable clothes, making sure that I allow ample enough time to get to the movie, to park, get a good seat and be comfortable are also important rules to go by. Getting a good night's sleep the night before is also crucial, especially with a film like West Side Story, which is always an exciting night for me. |
