My Songs

Everyone has their favorite movies... judging from dvd sales, people buy them these days almost as much as they rent them. They are surely buying their favorite movies... I am one of those... I buy a dvd because I want to see it over and over, or I will save a movie on Tivo, for the same reason.

Because watching a favorite film, simply, is like listening to a favorite song... you just want to experience it over and over... I totally understand those who say, "geez, I've already seen that, why would I watch it again?" My own parents were a perfect example, I would send them dvd's or vhs tapes of films I knew they liked, "ummm, thank you danny, but we already saw these.."

It's ironic, because I know my mom likes to re-read books, like after five years she'll go back and read it again...For me, once I finish a book it's all done. And that's an example.. and.. an understanding of how people might feel about experiencing the same thing over again.... It takes a lot more time to read a book than watch a movie, and of course, a certain attention span, myself included... My Movies include epics, some are 3 hours long or longer, so I just watch them mini-series style... or I will fast forward to good scenes....and watch them again... nd again... like favorite song.
