Not to brag but I actually held the WR for speedwatching the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies (extended version, any %). By utilizing a rare glitch in the DVD menu I managed to skip almost directly to the credits on each movie, for a total time of 0:31:22.16 I was beaten by a few seconds soon after by LordAnthrax73 but heh at least I found the glitch  Here are some of my personal records: Star Wars (original): 0:25:21.10 Alien: 0:15:54.25 (don't know why people think it's so scary, watched it on quadruple speed and no sound and it wasn't scary at all) Titanic: 1:10:12.74

Not the exact thing, and not my record, but there is a really cool Stephen King short story, Mrs Todd's Shortcut. Dude lives in the countryside, his neighbor is Mrs. Todd. They build a friendship over chit-chatting about shortcuts they use to get to town. "Take the country road across the back of Perkin's farm" and stuff like that, comparing their run times, shaving off 20 seconds here and there. She drives a decked out Mercedes and can make quick time. Over the course of the story they keep one-upping each other with faster and faster times. At a point he starts to wonder if she is bluffing him, cause he's looking at maps, and thinking, drat she had to be going 100 mph the whole time... at a minimum." Then he starts to notice weird poo poo on her car when he stops by to visit, like splattered bugs he's pretty sure he's never seen. Then one day there is some roadkill animal stuck in her front grill that simply does not exist on this planet. Mrs. Todd is also looking younger and younger each week. It was excellent for a short story. Oh, the story was about 100 pages, I read it in 10 seconds. Internetjack fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Aug 24, 2020 |

I used an SA thread conversion technique to watch Conebros (Kubrick, 1993) in under 5 seconds

I watch movies at 1/4 speed, OP. Exact opposite of you, and I hope it makes you quiver in your boots to know of this. "Nyeeeeehh if you slow it down that much it'll just be a low frame rate slideshow" bitch I programmed my own VLC plugin to tween the frames together, it uses Amazon web services to tap into google deepmind (and yes I pay for this monthly, it's worth it, the amazon part not the google part) and let me tell you I have seen, and am still seeing, things you cannot comprehend

So I really didn't want to do this but the speedwatching community is something really important to me and I hold our sport in very high regard. When stuff like this happens I think it's important for it to be exposed. *posts 2 hour long video expose of the OP. It's literally just closeup shots of the OP holding a remote and fast forwarding through movies*

I've don a TAS of Apocalypse Now Redux in 27:13:208. Whether any human player can get close to this is another matter of course.

Who is your favorite speedwatcher? I think CitizenPain has the best speedwatching streams for classic movies.

I like when you're watching a 'runner attempt the Original Retail Release category and they fumble the hell out of the LaserDisc flip! (Obviously using a dual-sided player is NOT in the Spirit of the category!!!)
