Why I should not watch my favorite movies on TV

[isabelladangelo]

I'm watching Princess Bride. I adore, love, totally heart this movie. Like probably most of my F-list, I know every line by heart. So why shouldn't I be watching it? Because they are skipping scenes. ...and trying to get my brain to go on fast forward, skip the next minute of lines, is so not easy.

...this happened with Ever After last week too...but it was even more disturbing because they cut out so much of the movie that certain scenes didn't even make sense.

Inconceivable!

They left out one of those. They also ruined part of the fire swamp scene and the whole "to the pain" speech. It was dreadful!

I can't help watching when movies like that are on TV - but I always wonder why I don't pop the DVD in since the skipping of scenes drives me nuts!

I think it's because, at least for me, I've seen most of the movie, my brain is on the next part, and to go back to scene one when your brain is on scene 7 simply because you missed five lines in scene 6? Not worth getting up and trying to find that darned DVD remote....
