Mr Gray is watching Rapid Fire (I have no clue wtf that is and could care less) and everytime the girl shows up in a scene he fast fowards to the violence. Do all guys do that or just my precious little weirdo?

1. I fast forward the action scenes
and watch the chick scenes in slow motion if possible, especially if they are really hot chicks :P

4. Really.
I noticed he does this when a tv show is on. He'll get up and wander into the kitchen when there is a love scene. altho he'll watch Desperate Housewives and RUN to the bathroom during ads so he won't miss anything on the show.

6. I use action scenes to go to the bathroom or order pizza.
It's a freaking car chase, we know how it will end, so what the heck do I need to watch it for?

I'm not sure what a "chick scene" is, but I only pay attention to scenes that have character interaction and development. If I want non-stop mindless violence and blood, I go to a rodeo. No offense meant to rodeos, actually--I've gone to my share.

9. You know, the "soften this up with a love interest" scene
If it last longer than 10 seconds he fast forwards to the blood and guts.

10. it depends entirely on the beautiousness and nekkidness of the chick....
Do not forget that the PAUSE button can be a wonderful thing indeed.

It's nice to know some men appreciate character and not just the cookie cutter nonsense.

24. He won't watch the end of 48 Hour Mysteries or Dateline or anything like that
He doesn't give a shit how they end....they all end up the same....either in jail or found innocent.

In hopes of gratuitous nudity.

30. You mean like the entire second half of "The Transporter"?
Movies whhere the chick scene is just ridiculous crap because some Hollywood drone thought that 14.75 minutes of a girl talking about her feelings would bring in a female audience?

Yeah, I fast forward that with all six FF triangles...

31. Depends on the chick scenes.
Edited on Mon Mar-09-09 10:02 PM by Amerigo Vespucci
For your consideration...(channeling Rod Serling voice here)...

...Mike Nelson (MST3K) and James Lileks did a "RiffTrax" for "Spider-Man 3."

Go HERE: http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax/spiderman-3

...and click on "Watch Sample."

The clip from this movie...Kirsten Dunst and do-not-know-the-dweeb's-name...making an omelet while shaking their clueless yuppie groove thangs to Chubby Checker's "The Twist"...almost makes me violent. I lack the gene or chromosome or brain chemical which would allow me to watch something like this without stabbing out my own eyes like Oedipus.

I'd fast-forward through this kind of scene in a heartbeat, and find a gentlemanly way to break off any relationship with any "chick" who found it "cute" or "not that bad" or "WATCHABLE."

:eyes:

:rofl:
