You asked!

Thank you, that was a very honest answer. Like you i watch action films and westerns and see entertainment rather than anything else.

I thought people were taking the Michael when they said Deodato had all these agendas with Cannibal Holocaust.

Actually i still do.

I don't think he had any socio-political agendas when he made it. He just wanted to shock people. He had thirty years to pretend he was being profound with the film.

I'm sure vast swathes of our film collections will match. Perhaps not by format (or artwork

) but movie wise.

No problem. I'm sure a lot of people see what I've bought and think, is he for real?

Certainly not me. The only difference is that i'm not replacing them with blu-rays.

A small section of my comedy shelf for example. I'm not proud.

I've watched many of them far more than any of the so called cooler films i own.

Case in point, I watch The Delta Force and all I see is a romp with Chuck Norris blowing shit up. Calum ripped into me because I like it. Says it's racisd. I honestky didn't see that. All I saw was Chuck doing his thing. Same with RoboCop, all I see is a guy being resurrected and killing people, and funny.

I dont look into films to much either, just stick them on and enjoy them for what they are, i dont lik delve into it making statement about what the director was trying to achieve but did this and this scene wrong.
if i have it's extremely rare. But if i dislike a film then like everyone else i say so. But we all have different taste and i can find some shit films entertaining in my own way, my friends are always saying my taste in films is shit, but then again they wouldn't know a decent film if they saw one because their to busy being wrapped up into days Hollywood films and think their great because they got tonnes of crash bang wallop action and **** all else to offer and think half of these so called horrors like paranormal activity are great and scary, then probably complain tcm is shit.
Im not sure whats meant to be scary about these paranormal activities when imo jack shit happens and their not even atmospheric and boring as hell and great for insomniacs.

Not people on forums like these because we understand the concept of how bad a film is that its so bad its good.
But other people who dont collect or understand films would think even the good films in our collection would be shit.
Last year 4work mates wanted to watch the warriors because i mentioned it several times, and not one was impressed one went about half way through, another said he was bored, one thought it was shite and other just said it was ok but couldnt watch it again, and thats their opinion on a cult classic film, maybe i should put on Basket case or bad taste and see what they think of them
