Why is it that people will watch movies on TV when they own the video? Or want to watch a movie and don’t even bother looking at their videos and just pick out something on TV even if they own the movie that they pick out? What is the source of this irrational behavior?

They like the movie. They like the movie so much they own it. Therefore, when they flip past it on TV, they say, “Oooh, oooh, I love this movie” and watch it. Given TV these days, it is very unlikely that there is something on that is better than a favorite movie!
Why go to all the trouble of putting in the tape when the movie is already on TV?
I bet this is headed to IMHO soon.
Anyway, I know I watch a favorite movie on TV for a few reasons:
-
Sometimes, I won’t have access to my DVD collection, but I want to watch the movie.
-
It allows me to complain about TV edits (witness the TV version of Mallrats or Office Space.)
-
A favorite movie is always worth watching.
