Anyone else tired of "Invincible"?
It was a good movie, and I enjoyed it, but that has been the movie on my last 10 UA flights. Is it too much to ask to change the movies more often? For frequent fliers changing movies once a month just isn't enough.

I've only seen invincible twice so far and liked, but will soon tire of it. I think a few years ago I saw "Return to Me" w/Minnie Driver and David Duchovny about 12 times (literally). |
Four legs to/from Asia in a six week period the year before last... I think I saw "50 First Dates" almost as many times. Well, at least 10 times!

got that beat... i was on an AMS-EWR flight on NW and had to watch "what a girl wants". my connecting flight was EWR-SEA codeshare on CO... where the movie was "what a girl wants"
OUCH! |
Little Miss Sunshine was the last movie I watched on a UA flight (last month) - I'll never get tired of that movie :D ^

Why are they still showing December movies? My wife and I flew on Jan. 2nd and they were still showing Dec. IFE

A year or so ago, I was flying SMF-DTW every week, and that month I happened to be stuck connecting in DEN rather than ORD. Also, the way the dates shook out, there were 3 weekends in the second half of the month. Since each flight was a couple of hours, they'd show a movie on both. The same movie. That movie unfortunately was The Notebook. I think I saw the movie a total of about 10 times, often back-to-back. :td:
If I recall correctly, the 11th time, I was in F when they announced that we would again be enjoying The Notebook, and I mumbled something out loud to myself about it. The very friendly FA heard and asked what was up, and I convinced her that people would enjoy Spiderman 2 more! ^ |
Let me be the first to say... Go Eagles! :p
g_leyser, did they butcher 'Little Miss Sunshine' compared to the movie theater version? It was one of my favourite movies this year ^ ^ |
I'm getting a little weary of seeing the Ebert and (Goat) Roeper featurette...Ebert has not aged well and Roeper looks too much like Scott Peterson

I find it odd that airlines, as conservative as they often are ("don't say you're going to BOM, say you're going to Bombay" - yeah, it's Mumbai now), show creepy movies, like The Island or stuff involves disasters, etc. I enjoy them, but you never know who's going to get freaked out, and that's not a good place for it.

They showed Invincible on my last LAX-SFO flight. And would you believe it, we got pretty much through the entire movie! (long wait for take-off, then a holding pattern before landing and they kept it running while taxiing to the gate for the last two scenes).
My solution to the entertainment problem is the Cowon A2 http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/cowon/a2/ with 30Gig hard drive and a ten hour battery I can pretty much entertain myself with movies and TV shows I never have time to watch at home on a flight as long as SFO-ICN (that's when I bought it, when my upgrade didn't clear so I wouldn't have power for my laptop). I love that thing and wouldn't travel without it now. |
I havent seen it! All my eastbound flights are redeyes so I am sleeping... and my westbound choices on the 767WW havent included it... pfft..
|
...could this become the next Lemony Snicket or Snickety Lemon or whatever that was called that seemed to be on for months last year? :D
