Yesterday I found myself watching The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and during the commercial I wondered why I was watching this on TV when I have the movie on DVD. But, there I am watching commercials.
Is that just me or do you find yourself watching movies on TV that you already own?
Ferris Bueller, for sure. That's my favorite movie of the 1980s. I love it and how much it's still so relevant 25 years later.
I love Ferris Bueller. Matthew B has aged a bit, but not much, don't you think?
I started to watch Casino on TV and then the bleeping started. I immediately turned off the TV and grabbed the book instead. I'd imagine I'd do the same for Goodfellas, such a great film, curses and all.
Even with DVR i always forget to ff past the commercials. Have you ever noticed that they now air the commercials at a louder volume than the show you are watching?
Yeah I saw him in Tower Heist a couple of weeks ago and was almost tempted to yell out Bueller but yeah he does look older. But I guess 3 kids will do that to you.
I'm guilty on almost every count. I bought the movies because I really like them but I'll watch them when they come on TV as well. These include but are not limited to Ferris Bueller and Goodfellas.
Any of the Die Hard movies. I can watch those all day long, lol.
Any of the Rush Hour or Rambo movies are ones that I have to watch on tv when they come, despite the fact that I own them all on dvd.

Do you think it is harmful to eat and watch TV at the same time?It's an old tale that eating while watching TV leads to over-eating and weight gain. Is that true for you? Why would you or wouldn't you watch TV while eating?

I think I have turned on my TV probably 10 times in the last 4 years. I find that television really dumbs us down. (I believe that is how the expression goes.) Television used to be entertaining in a different way a few years ago. I miss the Cosby Show, Family Ties, Happy Days,...

Is there too much reality TV?
by Bill Manning 13 years ago
I've always been a bit "different" than others. I don't go with the flow, preferring to do my own thing. One of the things I don't do that most do is watch TV.I have not owned a TV in about 15 years. I think it's a big waste of time and makes you dumb, the shows are horrible. Even if...

Is letting your child watch too many movies a good thing or a bad thing?
