Damn! 89...so close to having a life but not quite.
85. I had no idea I was so close to having a life.
Whoops, I meant to say 92. So I'm not even on the cusp of having a life. Tra la.
Holy Grail is on the list. But Life of Brian isn't - it must be so realistic that it is not deduced from life...
There are few excellent movies on that list (and no, not shaolin soccer, which I reluctantly admit to seeing). But he's wrong - if you actually went and counted them, then you have no life.
80, so supposedly I have a life. But I've seen a lot of other movies. What's so special about this particular list? I reject the premise that *these* have significance and maintain I have no more life than anyone else.
Hrmm. Either I have a life, or study too much to watch movies either...
Stupid uni
*goes off to study for todays exam*
Damn- I've only seen about 70 of these so I evidently have a life.
This is absurd. Obviously he hates sci-fi and Marvel Comics adaptions. Why not put some things up there that Really indicate having no life? Like for instance:
More than 1 freaky friday
more than 1Parent Trap
More than 2 20,000 leauges under the sea
More than 1 Journey to the Center of the Earth
Spy kids- one x for each.
Johney English.
Mad Max.
Drum Line.
The Piano
The English Patient
Maid of Honor
Ferngully
Fergully 2
Butterfly Effect
De ja Vu
More than 1 Lethal Weapon Movie
More than 1 Die Hard movie
A.I.
More than 1 movie involving the Three Musketeers
The Dark Knight (sarcasm)
Dune
More than 3 James Bond Movies
Escape from New York City
The Blair Witch Project
Alphaville
That Darn Cat
More than 2 Jim Carrey Movies
More than 2 Adam Sandler Movies
Blades of Glory
I Robot
Adam's Rib
Slueth
more than 2 Saw movies
Multiple infractions of 1 or more count (saw all 4 lethal weapons, that's 3 strikes). Watching only parts of movies does not count.
How about foreign films, indie films? This person is not being realistic whatsoever in his list. He picks the obvious and says "look at me- I watch TV instead of Movies, so neener neener!" PSH
Don't mind the list. If any of you HAS seen "Battle Queen 2020", then you have no life. And that's official.
No, seriously, Battle Queen is hard to beat. You really need to see it to realize how much you didn't miss. That is some baaaaaaaaaaad movie!
Also, any movie starring Canadian actor Michael Paré will do. That guy's given an all new meaning to "cheesy".
27 1/2.
Hurray, I have a life, how come I never knew that.
Notice how many of these are Hollywood productions, and not even any (that I noticed) from the classic 30s.
No Australian films, no French ones, only one or two from Asia, etc.
There's a whole world out there, folks.
I have only seen 60 of them. Apparently I have a life. I guess I better get back online and play some more Guildwars.
Sorry #10, but "Streets of Fire" rocks.
I seem to have seen a nice round 20. It is arguable that such a count is not a sign of having a life, but exactly the reverse.
The question is, could I rattle off 86 films I've seen that are not on the list?
What I find entertaining is to count the number of times I've seen The Greatest Movie Ever Made. I've seen that about ten times. Oddly, it came out several ways:
Once it was a delicate French tale of adultery.
Another time it was a delicate French tale of adultery.
Another time (actually more than once) it was about this newspaper guy in a big house.
Yet another (a couple of times), it was a Japanese revenge story.
And then there was the time they were in a hurry, and they only showed a few minutes about how it ain't a fit night out for man nor beast.
Oddly enough, not one of these was on the list. I presume that the items on my list will be recognizable, though the first two might be a trifle ambiguous.
A lot of them, I didn't see the movie but watched the TV series. Does that count?
What I want to know is what the heck "get a life" really means? I am pretty sure it is meant as a rude response, but honestly, doesn't everyone has a life, if they are breathing?
Didn't not count how many movies I had seen, but I am pretty sure I would fall into the "get a life" catagory. Still it seems a very subjective list although if it the time spent watching a movie, any list would do.
But I do think that a list of episodes of Reality TV that one had watched would be more appropriate to the insult.
