Confession time...don't be shy!

edited July 2007 in Everything Else
I thought it would be neat to start a sort of confessional thread in which users could list one video game and one movie in which they believe everyone except them has seen/played.

I’ll start us off:

Movie – The Godfather
Game – Quake

    Movie: Citizen Kane (Cane?)
    Game: Half Life (Which I've purchased and not played)
  • JasonJason
    I refuse to see Schindler's List, and I've never played Final Fantasy I.

    Zombie: Why haven't you ever watched The Godfather? That makes me sad. :(
  • RochelleRochelle
    Movies: The Godfather series, Citizen Kane, Scarface..

    Games: Any Final Fantasy except Crystal Chronicles and all Zeldas except Twighlight Princess, which I've barely played.

    For the most part, in the FRC, whenever something like that comes up, the response is along the lines of "OMG! You haven't seen X? You're watching X right now."

    With that said:

    Movies: Citizen Kane, any Rocky movie aside from the first
    Games: the Dragon Warrior series (at least, I don't remember playing any of them) and the Dragon Quest series (again, don't remember if I did or not)

    I'd like to add a new category.

    Movies that you are ashamed to admit having seen: the Thunder in Paradise movies
  • One SinOne Sin
    Movies: Pan's Labyrinth

    Games: Mario 3 and Half-Life 2

    Movies I'm Ashamed to Have Seen: Speed 2 (But I fell asleep half an hour into it)
  • HungryJoeHungryJoe
    Jason: Why don't you want to see Schindler's List? Subject matter aside, it's a beautifully filmed movie. I've often watched parts of it with the sound off just to focus on the gorgeous cinematography.

    Movies: If anime counts, I've hardly seen any. I mean, I've seen Dirty Pair, Project A-Ko, Cutey Honey, and Ghost in the Shell, but that's pretty much it. (Dare I say the following?) I've found that a little anime goes a long way. Aren't they all pretty much the same thing after a while?

    Games I have not played: All Pokemon, All Zelda, All Mario, All Sonic. No shame there. I think most of those would be tedious and jejune.

    Movies I'm ashamed to have seen: Bordello of Blood.

    Joe: I don't want to see Schindler's List out of fear -- pure fear. I don't need to mentally scar myself in order to understand the horror of the holocaust, and frankly, I am scared to death of empathy on that level. I want to intellectually embrace that subject without having to invest in it. Know what I mean?

    Also, Joe: I'm not talking to you anymore until you go play a Mario game. I think that's a bare minimum qualification to be allowed on teh Internets, right-o? So go download yourself an NES emulator and a Super Mario Brothers ROM and don't come back until you've stomped some god-damn goombas.

    Movie I am ashamed to have seen: Care Bears the Movie. In the theater. In, like, 1984. With my blue Care Bear stuffed animal in tow.

    To be honest, I can't stand any final fantasy games not called "TEN", and even then, that was my first PS2 RPG endeaver (WiP

    I have no real reason for not seeing The Godfather...some day I'm sure I will.

    Awe, how cute. ^_^ The blue Care Bear? Was that the one with the rain clounds on them? I remember that movie. I remember watching both the first and second ones, not in theater however.

    A movie I'm ashamed of seeing: Crossroads
  • RoosterRooster
    edited July 2007
    Movies: The Rockys and the Godfathers (as well as Citizen Kane and Schindler's List)

    Games: Custer's Revenge.

    Since Jason came out with such a harsh revelation, I'm okay with this one:
    Movies I'm Ashamed of Seeing: The Barney Movie. That's the downside of homeschooling: You don't get to not go on field trips. But at least I got to go into the projection area first. That's my consolation.

    I also would like to add a new topic:

    Music You Are Ashamed of Liking: Backstreet Boys.

  • Double ZDouble Z
    Movies: Seven Samurai, (tried but fell asleep) Citizen Kane, any of the Monthy Pythons
    Games: Sonic, Half Life 2
    Movies I'm Ashamed of Seeing: The Power Rangers movie, on a movie theater , I even made my mom see it with me.

    You should never be ashamed of seeing the original Power Rangers movie. I loved it, and it still isn't bad. Also, we watched Schindler's List in my 11th grade History Class, and I thought it was really good. I'm not pressuring you to watch it Jason, but I think you'll be glad if you do.

    Movie I haven't seen: Rocky, Citizen Cane, Jaws
    Game: Half-Life 1
    Movies I'm ashamed of seeing: Pee Wee's Big adventure
    Music I'm ashamed of liking: Backstreet Boys (only the older stuff, Justin Timberlake sucks), 98 degrees, Vitamin C

    Since all the cool kids are doing it, I'm gonna add one more thing to this.

    Games you are ashamed of playing and liking: Barbie Horse Adventures..... just kidding <.< >.>

    Movie- Hostel. I have no problem with torture to prevent the death of innocent bystanders. Hell, in the ticking bomb scenario, hand me a rusty pair of no.2 Craftsman needle nose pliers, and stand back. However, I will NEVER support the glorification of torture for the purpose of entertainment.

    Game- I don't really know. I play lots of video games, both on consoles and on pc. I DO have a long list of games that I have played, and have no idea why anyone would continue playing after the first couple of hours, most of which are MMO's.

    I have seen Jaws, and I felt ripped off. You have a movie titled Jaws, a movie poster prominently featuring a shark, and then a long ass movie with only like 15 minutes worth of shark action. They could re-title Deap Blue Sea to Jaws, and I would have felt I hadn't wasted my time.

    Schindler's List made my openly cry. So did visiting the Holocaust Museum in DC, but even more so. That place makes you feel very small, and your problems seem very insignificant.

    Haven't seen any of the Rocky or Godfather movies.
    Games not really sure. Didn't really have many game systems but all my friends did so I've pretty much played a lil bit of everything in one quantity or another.

    Get the hell off my Internet.

    Music I'm ashamed of liking: Insane Clown Possee (well, I USED to like them, but I still give it a listen every now and then), and my darkest shame: I used to enjoy country music (and line dancing).

    Movie: Citizen Kane (like everyone else, apparently)

    Game: Counter-Strike

    A movie I'm ashamed of seeing:Crossroads
    At first I thought you meant Crossroads. It wasn't great, but it was about a bluesman that sold his soul to the devil. It also had an eerie scene with Robert Johnson.. That's always cool.

    I can't believe you people haven't seen Citizen Kane! That's really inexcusable. Many, many of the movie cliches, tropes, and visual language you take for granted comes from Kane. Now go see it.

    Citizen Kane in 10 minutes:

    Citizen Kane 3000:

    Virtual NES
    In any case...
    Movie: Schindler's List
    Games: Final Fantasy.  All of them.
     
    I can't blame you guys for watching Citizen Kane - it's not for everyone.  However, the same is not true of the Godfather (part I, at least).  It's a very good, and very entertaining, movie.

    It's been decided. Let's get those shirts done already.

    Movie I've not seen: Star Trek: First Contact
    Game I've not played: Golden Eye

    What do I win?

    Hmmm...after watching the 10 min Kane, all I can say is...it's not much more tolerable than watching the entire thing.

    Anime I've Never Seen: Utena, Fist of the North Star, Big O, Getter Robo, Macross (as opposed to the bits that were in Robotech), VOTOMS, Patlabor, Ah! My Goddess, Gankutsuou, Genshiken, GiTS (any of them), Lupin III, Cowboy Beebop, Megazone 23, Golgo 13, and Nadia. My shame knows no bounds. T_T
    Anime I'm ashamed to have seen: While I was lucky enough to enter the world of anime with Gundam Wing, I subsequently expressed horrid judgement and wandered through lovely shows like .hack//SIGN, .hack//Legend of the Twilight, Dragon Ball Z, Final Fantasy Ulimited, Love Hina, Gundam SEED Destiny, Inuyasha, Kiddy Grade, the third season of Rurouni Kenshin, Gravitation, and at least an episode of every Tenchi aside from the original OVA. In other words, I fell for every fangirl/newbie Otaku trap in existence. Yeah . . . not the best time of my life.

    Movie I haven't seen: Seven Samuari . . . I too fell asleep.
    Game I haven't played: I hadn't played any NES/SNES games until college . . . so sad. God bless Dreamcast EMUs. I still have yet to play any Zelda's or Final Fantasy's . . .
    Anime I haven't seen: EVA . . . I will though. In time for Scrym's final thoughts.
    Movie I'm ashamed to have seen: This is really had because, as a rule, even bad movies are educational. There are quite a few I haven't liked but I wouldn't say I'm ashamed per se. I'll think about it.
    Game I'm ashamed to have enjoyed: Halo . . . serious.
    Music I'm ashamed to have enjoyed: I owned the Chumbawamba album. [cry]

    I second this.

    I think we have our first T-Shirt. ^_~
    Shortly after Otakon, we'll likely have an explosion of swag.
  • MitchyDMitchyD
    Suuuuuuure you will.
    :D
     
    I'm looking forward to it. Why didn't you guys get any in prep for Otakon? I'd listen to a show that gave me swag.
