You decide: Should I watch "10.5" or delete it from my Tivo?

After reading the horrible, horrible reviews of 10.5 in another thread, I decided to let the good folks at DVD Talk decide the fate of my Tivoed presentation.

So do I waste 4 hours (minus commercials) of my life watching what is apparently a total crapfest OR do I delete the sucker and hope that it is removed from our collective memories? YOU MAKE THE CALL!!!


I, Numanoid, hereby agree to abide by the decision, based on the poll results as of Friday, May 7th 2004.

Watch - it ain't nowhere near 4 hours. More like 3 when you lose the commercials. Save it until summer when there is less stuff to watch and watch it then. I think it funny enough to be entertained.

Unless you're very near full capacity, there isn't much point in deleting it yet. Most shows only have a few episodes left in their season. Then you'll have 4 months to decide whether or not to waste time watching it.

Although I hated this flick...and I'm using the word "hate" here... ...I'd watch it anyway if I were you. It is terrible in every way imaginable and is 100% predictable.

The cheese factor is high but if you should be with people who you enjoy going back and forth with commentary, you will probably have fun.

My brother and I had nonstop comments and it was quite fun.

Delete it - instead fill up your Tivo w/ Nip/Tuck repeats and prepare yourself for the new season coming this summer.

Oh you gotta watch it. It's worth it just to come up with your own MST3000 commentary track.

I'd delete it - knowing something is bad before devoting 3 hours of your life to watching it is not a sound decision, IMO.

Delete it. Then Lysol your Tivo. Then burn it. Then throw it in the trash can. Then burn your trash can and bury the ashes in the front yard. Then move.

Keep it and burn it to DVD. Watch it when you're feeling down. Then you will realize that your life doesn't suck as much as the lives of everyone that made the movie! Makes me feel better just thinking about it.

DELETE!!!!! I could only watch the first twenty minutes or so of this before turning the TV off and .... (GASP)... go reading. I'm sure it only got worse as it went.

I have this saved on the TiVo as well. The poll doesn't seem to be helping much: 23 vs. 22.

You'd be better spending your time watching a true classic.

Earthquake (1974) with Charlton Heston..
