    Hello,

    With fast forwarding and chapter skips so easy to use, when was the last time you watched a movie all the way through without skipping a scene??? It can be for a rental or just your own collection.

    I just recently rewatched the orginal Star Wars trilogy with no fast forwarding. I usually skip through a lot of movies though.

    Yeah. You didn't say what kind of movie. If it's PrOn I always skip to the good stuff.

    Regular movies I sit and watch all of it.

  6. Like Cap said.

    Of course if after 10-15 minutes the movie doesn't "start" then I'll just stop viewing (or get out of the room in case the wife likes it). But that doesn't mean skipping does it?
    It wasn't me.

    Ditto.
    Never, ever.
    I have been known to stop a movie (children, food prep) etc. and then (in the case of my children) give up and pick it up again the following evening but never, ever, EVER, skip.
    I mean, what's the point?

    I usually don't skip through a movie unless I am watching Titanic.

    I skip to when the ship starts to sink. That is the best part of the movie.

    Best scene in the movie.

    I watch it beacuse of my fascination with the white star line ships.

    The olympic, the britannic, and the titanic.

    At one time in my life, I wanted to be a wreck diver.

    Very funny movie. Enjoyed it a lot. And I never skip through movies. The only thing I tend to skip is DVD's of tv series where I want to watch a particular episode.

    I'd say that counts as no skipping. I wouldn't want someone to watch 20 episodes straight through!!!!!

    Dogsville had Nicole "I'm boring as **** to watch" Kidman on a monopoly board for a stage and it was 3 hours long, Infact Gitreel I don't want to talk about the film, it's making me want to cry thinking I actually sat there and watched the bloody thing.

    Skipping through a movie seems a little self defeating to me. I'm not going to be watching it unless I want to watch it.

    Kind of see your point about skipping through being a waste of time - you're going to lose the plot straight away.
    But don't you ever watch a film and after a while think "this is crap" and turn it off?

    That's mighty bad :P

    I would still never skip through it. I'd skip it off the inside wall of the trash dumpster though

    Never FF or skip through a movie. I enjoy watching them all the way through.

    Never skip here. I put the movie in to watch it, and see it the whole way through. If it's porn, I'll usually watch it the first time through and then rewind back to the beginning of the good parts each time I'm done for VHS, and any on DVD I just copy and burn the good parts (using my AIW S-Video and a Stand Alone player) on a compilation DVD. I have a 2 hour long DVD of nothing but good bang sessions with all the boring stuff cut out.

    I know the action scenes will come up during the course of the movie, so there's no reason to skip. I might rewind a couple times if I thought a scene was good, but not skip forward.

  25. Everytime I put a movie in my intension was to watch the whole thing but somhow I always got sidetracked by something...while the movie's still playing. You count that as skipping since I didn't touch the FF button?

    I think he specifically means hit the >> to skip to a certain action sequence or scene without having to wait by watching the rest of the movie that comes before it.

    I generally watch the whole movie, unless it's a music DVD and I specifically want to listen to a select few songs.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    Those shouldn't count as skipping. I hope you voted "Never".
    It wasn't me.
