Good day to all. All most everyone loves watching movies, right? Do you guys/gals watch the newest released movies when it comes out, like during its first day? Or do you guys wait a few weeks? Or even wait for a DVD to come out to watch the movie? All opinions are welcome. Good day again. And Happy Mylotting to all.

It depends on the movie. I ran out and saw "Legend of the Guardians" and "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" on their opening days. But I avoided pretty much everything else. If I think I might want to see a movie then I might just wait until it reaches the 2nd run theater and I only have to pay a dollar to see it. With everything else I just wait until it comes out on DVD and maybe I'll rent it if I think it might be worth a once-watch. Usually the movies that I immediately ran out and saw in 1st run theaters are the ones that I immediately run out and buy the DVD for.

I loved them and thought they were both really awesome, but I can't say that you'll feel the same way. Guardians is out on DVD right now.

Well, I have not actually seen both movies. But, I hope to watch them on DVD soon. Are they any good?

I love watching movies, especially when I have the time. But I don't usually watch it immediately, I wait for the DVDs. I will be spending more if I watch it the time it was newly released so I'd rather wait for the DVD release to watch it. At least, when I have the DVD, I can watch it every time I want and its mine. =D

Well, I sometimes do the same. But, sometimes specially if the some friends or a special person asks I might consider watching the movie upon release or a few days after release. But most of the time, I prefer to buy a DVD or get it of the internet but, I pay for it.

I forget to say that it also depends on the movie. If I really like the movie, I'll watch it on the first day of its release. Like when the twilight saga started, I loved the book so I watched it the first day, though I have to wait just to get inside the cinema. XD

I do enjoy going to see movies that I find interesting and such. If I have time, then I might go and see the movie while it's playing in theatres. However, usually, I prefer waiting and just watching a movie, while I'm at home, or something.

I am also enjoying movies at home. But, sometimes friends do call or SMS and they ask me if I could watch a movie with them. At the moment, I am watching The last airbender. Happy mylotting.

Well, I too had to watch the Eclipse movie, since a friend asked me and I promised a month before that I would. Luckily, I did get tickets for the first day. It was nice though, but not totally nice. It was actually better compared to the first movie.

It depends on how well the movie trailer is. If it has a great movie trailer and you can tell about the quality of the movie in the movie cast and who direct it. If it makes a lot of hype I will definitely watch it on cinema. But if its an okay movie then I'll just wait for the DVD release because if its not a blockbuster movie they release the DVD version early, but if it is a blockbuster it will take months before they release the DVD format.

Well, I seem to do the same as you. If the movie trailer is awesome then I watch it. If not, I tend to forget about the movie, unless my friends lend me a copy.

This all depends on how badly i want to see a new movie. If i am too anxious, i have to see it right away. If I am unsure of how I feel about a movie, I will wait a while to see it.

Well, watching a movie is nice. But, for me even though it is nice. I try to watch movies if only I do have extra cash to watch a movie.

It really depends on what the movie is. If it is something that I absolutely have to see and have been waiting forever for then I'd go see it the first day it comes out. If it's a movie that I think I might like seeing I'd wait a few days first. I'd wait to hear some reviews for it before deciding to see it or not. And if it is something I absolutely have no interest in then I'll not even bother watching it at the cinema. I'll wait for it to come out on DVD instead.

Well, I do not plan to watch movies though. But, if I do see a good movie I try to watch it in the theater, that is if I don't go busy all of a sudden. But, if I do I try to buy a DVD of it to watch at home. Thank you for responding. Happy Mylotting.

Hi Jacobus, i like to watch movies but very selected ones. I watch movies in the TV, very rare i will go out watch movies in the theaters. But some of my friends will request me to come to see the movies on the very first day of our favorite actors. I like to go with them and watch movies but i am scared of going out, i don't know i am like that i don't have an habit of going out unless it is very necessary. Have a wonderful day.

No. Once I did so. But now I am very lazy to cook films. Sitting for two hour continuesly is impossible. After coming to online earning time is so important. So I loose interest on films.

Well, Thank you for responding. I too have tried losing interest. But, a time to relax and watch a movie is also a must for me form time to time. I have to juggle school, earning a little online, gym time, and relax time. So, as for relax time, I try to get every bit of relax time I can, when I can.
