 Posted: 07/07/04 - 19:13 Post subject: To preview or not to preview
With the invention of DVD's I have been able to pass right by those lengthy (and sometimes boring) previews that the old VHS tapes used to have (and still do!). I wonder, though, do any of you actually sit and watch the previews on DVD's???

Mrs. PH will watch them. Since we don't have TV and don't go to the movies, how else is she supposed to know what looks good and what not to get?

I skip the previews, and usually go right to the movie.

I thought this was going to be about checking for UBB errors before posting.

Well who does that anyway. 
To answer the question though on the rare occasion I watch a DVD, I would watch the previews.

I hate the previews and I skip over them to get to the movie unless we are still making the popcorn etc then we might let it run.

I usually watch the previews for our movies, and always for the kids. We like to see what is coming soon & etc.

I don't on DVD, but love them at the movies. You don't get to many previews at the movies anymore. Now it's all comercials. I hate that!

Usually the first time I watch a DVD I watch the previews. After that 1st showing, I fast forward. It's just to check and make sure there aren't any movies coming out that I have to see!
