Waterworld: why do I always come into the middle, but never see the end?

1. eraserhead and 2001: a space odyssey
I think there was a Rocky and a Star Trek I never got through as well.

I'm not one for repeating very many movies so the motivation to go back and rewatch something I slept through or otherwise didn't see fully is pretty low.

2. It usually happens to me on a rainy weekend afternoon or while
waiting some place with a tv going.

3. Godfathers I, II & III
Never seen any of them in their entirety. I like Copolla, but I don't really seem to care if I do see them.

12. 1 and 2 are brilliant, engrossing. Three is not considered a worthy successor.

4. Unless I saw it in the theater, almost all of them
I am always multi-tasking, even now, watching the latest episode of Game of Thrones, I am reading DU and finishing yesterday's Merl Reagle's puzzle. I think I remember the end to Waterworld; want me to tell you?

5. Kill Bill I & II
I love what I've seen but I always come into the room after it's been started, and the one time I sat down to watch it myself the DVDs were scratched. :(

10. Brokeback Mountain
I've seen the entire film, but it's been in bits and pieces at different times.

Don't know why I haven't taken the time to just rent, sit, watch. It's a good film.

14. Becket.
Edited on Mon May-23-11 09:37 PM by CBHagman
I've seen (and loved) the play but never the entire movie. :shrug: When I was a kid, it was because it was going to run too late. There's no such excuse now, but I still haven't seen it.

17. Most of the Harry Potter movies
Hallmark Channel has been running them but I never seem to catch the beginning or be able to watch through the end of any of them.

We do own the DVDs, maybe I should watch them instead...

26. Years ago when It's a Wonderful Life copyright was in limbo...
it could be found playing on several different channels at the same time around the holidays and you could literally watch the scenes of that movie in normal order, reverse order, sideways and upside down.

29. Gone with the Wind
Wizard of Oz, It's a Wonderful Life. However, I think if I put all the pieces together, I might have seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers in it's entirety.

33. Clue.
Don't have a damned idea about the plot; everybody always seems to be running around in it.
