Man watches 'Captain Marvel' 116 times in order to break world record

Kudos.

 

[MovieSlave]

That's hardcore but I don't think I could watch any movie that many times without losing it. My record was ten with TDK and I think seven for the first Iron Man.

 

[C. Lee]

I think of how many other movies I could have seen in that time. I've seen many movies multiple times....but I spread them out over time. Would rather watch 116 different movies in a month that the same one 116 times.

 

[Flash525]

What a waste of life, honestly. I don't think there's a single film I've ever seen more than 50 times over my 32 years of existing. Why anyone would actually watch a single film 116 times in such a short period only to break a world record is honestly, beyond me.

Some may say kudos, I think it's quite sad.

I have to believe he wanted to break the record. In my laters years I've gotten to the point where I can't watch a movie twice anymore. Too many other movies to watch than to know where every turn is in a movie.

 

[Boom]

The only two movies I could even humor the idea of accomplishing this with are King Kong (1933) and Jurassic Park.

 

[DarkKnight88]

You think he could’ve picked a better movie.

Regardless, not a record to be proud of.

That's 116 more times than I would want to see this movie in the theater.

 

[Donner]

Everyone needs a hobby. Good for him.

 

[Mandon Knight]

I can't imagine watching any film that many times, more fool him frankly, WR or not, complete waste of time & resources.

Funnily enough the only movie I may have seen that many times is the one in your avatar.

shhhh, for all my ranting, I think I have too.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Nice to know not all incels are against Captain Marvel.

When I was little I'm sure I watched Ghostbusters more times than this... but it was the 80's, TV didn't have a whole lot goin on... lol

Same.

But to be fair that’s over two decades worth. This guy did it in like two months. Scary!

 

[Guts]

The article doesn't say how old he is. If he's up there in age and retired then I understand. But if he isn't then I'm wondering where he finds the time for this. Unless he doesn't have a job.

 

[Holiday]

It says he took long lunch breaks and time off work to watch it. His job must be chill as ****.

This is disheartening. One of the great things about cinema or TV is it's a moment of time that can be relived.

If it's a great film or peice of work that one truly admires then why not continue watching if only it be a scene or reading about it time to time with the full beginning to end re-watch maybe being every so often? For instance, I can't get enough of Twin Peaks. Each year, I find myself either reading something about it or re-watching a scene and thinking about it. Some parts are bad and some parts are great yet overall it's awesome.

If the next newest thing is always competing for one's attention I think it best to just distill the best as worth re-visiting on an annual if not semi-annual basis. How many times have people here watched their favorite Christmas movie? Time lost should be time worth re-visiting at some point when it comes to cinema or TV I feel.

 

[Yowza]

That being said watching a movie 116 times in less than a 2 month period is beyond ludicrous. I usually watch a movie once, skip and pause through scenes in non-sequential order, read about it, then maybe a re-watch from beginning to end months later. This guy just really wanted the attention the record would bring him badly or maybe it's an accomplishement he really relishes on a personal level somehow... It would be great to ask him what made him pick this movie out of any other?

 

[DarkKnight88]

Because if he picked What Men Want it wouldn’t get nearly as much attention for him.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

I think my most watched film is like Star Wars Ep IV and even then it's only at like 30 times spread out over like 25 years.

 

[Donner]

Maybe he just liked the movie and it has nothing to do with the "controversy" that lame incels online created.

What’s an incel?
