what are your DVD viewing habits? post them right here.
i don't know about you guys but before watching my DVDs i always like reviewing the TEASER TRAILER - to get me in the mood for the movie. :D
-
Ako before watch, patugtog muna ako ng mga music na bumabayo to exercise the cones of my speakers, warm up ika nga. hehehe

Pareho tayo...trailer muna. Iba kc pakiramdam and mejo nagkakaroon ng interest sa movie at ng nananabik hehehe.
-
I make the room as comfortable as possible (putting pillows, aircon, food).
-
trailer, teaser and I read the reviews from my trusty movie guide.
-
read the reviews, and/orwatch the special features first
-
Trailers first and if there's any on the discs, music video din muna to set the mood. :)
-
before watching..........i look for easter eggs, if there are any on the discs ;D
-
1. trailer
2. music video
3. special features
-
always in these sequence;
turn on the pj
turn on the aircon
turn on the sub
turn on the dvd
turn on the pre/pro
turn on the power amp
load the dvd
go to the cr to pee ;D
get popcorn/beer and chocolates
sit on la-z-boy
adjust the recline
press languages to select dts kung meron
and then press play
;D ;D ;D kaya sometimes tamad na ako watch ;D ;D ;D
-
this is a good behavioral insight ranran. never thought of it before but it does exist. good work!
------
mine:
- read the artwork/jacket first/synopsis
- watch the trailer (not the other special features)
- check audio track available and subs
- others..
8)
-
mine... just load the dvd, select language and i make sure NONE for the subtitles ;D
but its a plus if an dvd(ex.walt disney releases.etc) once you load it,play first some trailer of upcoming movie ;D
-
i have no pre dvd viewing habit. whenever the mood strikes me, i watch em. yun nga lang i have to be the first one at home dahil kapag nauna yung better half ko, wala nang singitan sa tv...
-
I get make the room as comfortable as possible (putting pillows, aircon, food).
Same here... good think we've a mini refrigerator beside our bed ;D
Other essential set up includes: audio & sub-title setting. DTS is preferred if available. Then crank up the volume! ;)
-
1. switch on the aircon
2. Browse through and select a DVD
3. Turn on the PJ
4. switch on the dvd player
5. switch on the sub and amp
6. adjust the lights
7. get a pillow
8. snack or beer if the mood allows it
;D ;D
-
excellent responses guys, after reading your posts medyo ginanahan nanaman ako manuod ng DVDs. ;D
-
same with many members, i usually watch the trailers first :D
i dont like watching the special feats first esp if its how the effects were done, stunts, etc... it destroys the mood while watching the movie. i know that, she had a wire on her back... ;D
-
hmm... dati, my dad doesnt want to watch the additional special features on the disk or the 2nd disk.he just watch the movie and thats it. but when he saw me watching the 2nd disk of pirates... he enjoyed watching it ;), and finish it. ;D...this the funny thing happen last night when i got home... i heard that someone watching in that room ;D(wala pang acoustic treatment e,just a plain room) when i entered, saw him watching the 2nd disc of saving private ryan, and ask him if he already watch the movie...to my surprise,he replied by "hindi pa.pagkatapos nito" :) ...hehe. siguro,iba iba nga talaga gusto natin when it comes to "pre-DVD viewing habits." ;D naalala ko tuloy 'tong thread na to. thanks to sir ranran ;)
-
If I have seen the movie already in theaters, I usually watch all of the Special Features first before taking my time to watch the movie itself. If I have not seen the movie, I start with watching the trailer.
-
Turn on aircon
bring down PJ screen
turn on PJ
turn on receiver, amplifier and DVD player
adjust lighting
arrange my custom sofa to lazy or slouch mode
get some snacks ready
Like others said, check for DTS track. I learned my lesson, I once watched Assault on Precint 13 and only found out it had DTS track after I ejected it with the lights on.
I plan to integrate bringing down the PJ screen and adjusting the lighting into one step soon, by getting a remote control motorized PJ screen and intelligent lighting switch. So with a button, the screen goes down and the lighting adjusts itself to your preferred lighting mode. ;D
-
i turn on the lights first....
turn on the reciever, dvd player, tv, sub and the aircon...
i go to my kitchen and grab some snack...
go back again to the ht room, feed the dvd disc to the player and lay down to my couch.. ::)
-
if i havent seen the movie yet, i only watch the music videos after. lesson learned with il mare ;D
-
ah.. for me i check my 5 yr old son first, if he is busy with other things, i'll slip a disc quietly and watch away. otherwise he'll be bugging me with one his disney dvds ;D
-
Timpla ako ng iced tea or lemonade in a huge tall glass, tapos handa na din ng snacks.
-
1) Prepare food and drinks ;D
2) Set up audio and language first (especially if it's the first time to watch the movie)
3) Trailer/s
4) Feature film
sometimes like a day or two i watch ahead the making of the movie or other special features the DVD ;)
-
Same here. I watch the trailers first before watching the movie. I also always set the subtitles first before selecting "Play Movie". ;D
-
Me same routine as the others..
Turn on my Bose DVD player
Get some chips and drinks
Check out first the special features..
Always on the subtitles..im always on the subtiltles..everytime i watched dvds..
and that's it.. ;D ;D
-
I thought you meant betamax, vhs and LD era viewing habits...he he he.
Anyway, I just pop in the disc and go straight to play. I always check the special features last and never check the trailers dahil spoiler. 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). Pero kung katabi ang the wife, I have to turn it on para walang magtatanong maya't maya ng "ano raw?"
-
Read beforehand the movie's reviews and critiques
-
I turn on room lights first...then PJ...turn on HTPC....turn on receiver...turn on ambilight....pop in dvd...turn off room lights. I always make sure to turn on first those equipment which needs time to power up like the PC and PJ. ;D
-

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?
-
watch some trailers( but not the trailer of the movie ill be watching). Turn off subtitles.
-

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.
-

For some reason, I smell it too.. ;D
-
it's good to hear, i'm not alone in that area. "sniffing the case" ;D
-
i always prepare a microwavable popcorn before making sala the dvd ;D

Which gives a new meaning to the term DVD Addict. ;D

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... ;)

i noticed recently that before watching a movie ... id turnon my ps3 and play ps3 first .. then after about 10 minutes id turn it off then turnon my htpc .. then watch dvd, HD movies, bluray, etc. :)
