Masarap yung absolutely no idea what to expect of the movie, in my opinion.

I always disable subtitles because it disturbs my concentration (my eyes). 

So agree on the first one. I avoid trailers myself. Makes the movie more satisfying & suspenseful.

Subs, kakahilo lalo na mga Fox titles with Tagalog subs. Your mind is hearing and reading 2 languages at the same time. Or di ko lang kaya mag mutli task?

I don't really have any pre viewing habits, I just turn everything on, turn off the lights, load the CD and go straight to viewing the movie. :D I watch the special features after the movie. :D

            Me, close. What I smell is the booklet of the DVD if there was. Actually, I smell the pages of newly printed books or even those used ones like in Book Sale. I wipe it first to prevent inhaling the dust. How I love the smell of the pages! It gives me gratification beyond explanation. ;D

           The most important thing to do is to go to the john first to avoid interruption even if you have the comfort of pausing the movie. I really hate it when during the movie's highlights, someone knocks on the door and disrupted your viewing. That's why I watch movies usually late at night or in the wee hours. Or better, alone in the house and the hour's ungodly. Re-watch 'feel-good' movies like THE EVIL DEAD. ;)

I go around in a circle (twice), plop down on the floor, turn on the TV, sound system, DVD player, put in the DVD and hit play.

well, you're not alone

for some reason, I love the smell of new technology  ???

I remember opening the box of my shiny new Xbox 360 and IPOD 2 years ago.
And they seem to emanate a distinct scent right out of the box.

actually yan ang "consumer insight" nung legendary ad campaign ng Jolibee, this launched them into the bigtime!  LANGHAP-SARAP!  Ugaling pinoy daw talaga yan - nakita nila sa research na bago kumagat ang Pinoy, langing inaamoy muna ang pagkain, ayun nanganak na at ginawa nilang ad campaign!  :D  Mukhang di lang sa pagkain applicable yun ah...  ;)
