Never heard of it.

But films are cold, unfeeling, unsatisfying brutes.
Think of a film as a long TV episode.
I reckon you just haven't seen the right ones yet.

Hee, nah. The scary bits are fun in Arnie films.

With no installment next week to continue the story, just a hastily rushed ending and a piss-poor sequel a couple of years later.
That's just the shit films. See, you haven't seen the right ones yet.
I just don't like the film format. There's the occasional good'un, but it's not for me. Simple as that.
Split them up into 28 minute segments.

Bloody hell Random! Just looked at the link in your sig. Sauce!!
I'm not as big a fan of films as I used to be. So I can kind of understand where Aaron is coming from. You get more for your money with a TV character.
But like most people, I grew up watching them and the ones I loved as a kid or were influenced by as a teenage, really stick with me and invoke powerful emotions and memories.
Films can be excellent. Their characters can become icons, which is quite impressive, when they only have 2 hours to make an impact.
I love film, and watch loads. There is a lot of shit out there though.
The Tube.

Films are great. If you just watched 30 minute sitcom episodes you'd soon go out of your head.
Panaroma. So, the police are untrustworthy bullies. Who would have thought!?
Don't tell Scats!
That's the only reason I put 'bullies' and not what I originally had.
