Why you don't want to watch a DVD with me after I've smoked marijuana, which I regularly get from Alfred Hoffington, of 8722 18th Ave NE, Seattle, WA, 98103

Kiss Me Deadly

There are a number of reasons why you wouldn't want to watch a DVD with me after I've smoked marijuana, which I regularly get from Alfred Hoffington, of 8722 18th Ave NE, Seattle, WA, 98103:

  1. I might drift off during a particular scene and have to watch it again.
    It might be a five-minute scene, or it might be a fifteen minute scene. This will happen five to eight times in the course of the DVD.

  2. If I am paying attention, I will be paying very, very careful attention.
    And at these times will also be liable to rewind and watch an entire scene again, if I think it's amazing. Which is likely. Because I am easily awestruck after smoking the marijuana I get from Alfred Hoffington, of the above-referenced address.

  3. I will also pause the DVD and stare for minutes at a time at particular shots.
    While staring at a particular shot, I will express my appreciation out loud. "Damn!" I might say, "Those are some bad guys."

  4. I can't watch a DVD without my camera when I'm stoned.
    So while expounding, per the previous item, I will also be taking pictures of the television screen. Lots of then. And then I will look at the pictures, at length, and repeat my appreciation. "Fuck. Yeah. Fucking bad guys. Who makes bad guys like that anymore?"

  5. I like to deliver supposedly funny commentary, as the mood strikes me, especially during scenes that are not supposed to be funny
    "Ho ho!" I may say, "that's one miserable son-of-a-bitch! You know it's only going to get worse for that fucker, too! Hahaha!"
Those are enough reasons, right? There are actually more. Like, if you want to express your appreciation of the movie in any way, or want to insert your own funny commentary, I will give you a withering look, like, "excuse me, this is a movie, okay? Art is happening here, okay? A little respect, if you please?" But, like I said, you are probably already convinced. Anyway, it's not like people are breaking down my door demanding to watch DVDs with me anyway.
