Am I insane, or what?

Am I the only one that practices this sort of insanity. Today I was browsing through the TV Guide and noticed that 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' was on tonoght on the USA Network. I was like, "Ooooh, I gotta watch it, how cool". I then made a sandwich and sat down to watch ,but quickly got disenchanted and annoyed by all the commercial breaks. My gaze wandered and I then spotted what was sitting atop of my television set. It was the DVD of Raiders. What the hell is wrong with me? I'll actually go out of my way to watch a movie on television that I already have on DVD. I did this just the other night with 'Meet the Parents'. Sheesh... Don't worry, my Friday nights aren't usually this boring, I just am throwing a huge BBQ tomorrow. Am I alone here?

 

Dude, you're insane!

 

no, i watched back to the future the other night when it was on.

 

My God, I forgot about that!!! I just watched that too, and I just bought the trilogy set about two months ago.

 

I have the AOTC dvd but often watch it on HBO even though its fullscreen, Then again, I'm insane too.

 

The TV stations are crazy for not making it widescreen, putting too many commercials in, and editing out content.

 

I catch my brother watching stuff we have on DVD all the time. I just change the channel on him.

 

There's nothing more annoying than a movie you love that is butchered beyond belief cutting out language, violence, and nudity. And they also throw in a few commercials.

Yet I still watch them.

 

I saw a preview for Reservoir Dogs to be shown on Bravo next week. Yeah, that should be great.

BEEP BEEP BEEP MOTHER BEEP I'M GONNA BEEP YOU UP BEEP

QGM

 

I believe that insanity is the correct answer.


I will not go out of my way...I'll just be really lazy

 

Same thing with me. I wanted to see Harry Potter the other night, and I renembered that I have the movie and home. Me insane too.

 

*reads thread*

Hrmm...

maybe I'm not as insane as I thought I was...

 

I've done this a few times...

 

I see that it is on TV, then make sure I start the DVD the EXACT same time as it starts on TV - finish it half an hour earlier and laugh at all the saps that are still watching the end.

 

Well on Sky in the UK movies don't have adverts, and are in widescreen (at least, you can choose that option if you want). So if there's a movie on that I've got, and happens to be starting when I'm watching TV... then I can watch it with no problems.

NB: The only problem being I can't pause it if I need to use the toilet.
