Shouldn't you be 'proud' enough for watching a great movie? I have never once thought "HEY, I need a medal for watching this!" Telling someone you saw it and having a good discussion about it is the most gratification you need. This is one of the worst ideas ever.

I would like a trophy for posting a comment in every dumb topic. I certainly deserve a trophy for reading this nonsense.

No. God, no! If someone needs to earn an achievement for sitting on their butt and staring at a screen for two hours, they don't need an achievement, they need some self-esteem...and possibly counseling.

Is it really that much different from sitting on your butt with a controller in your hand, pressing some buttons, and getting an achievement in a videogame?

I don't care to show it off to other people but I think it can be kinda cool to look at my own checklist, stats, etc...like a last.fm for movies.

More importantly, what's the point of breathing if I don't get any trophies for it? Might as well just die. UGH.

Yes it is. At least with a video game, you gotta put in some effort on your part. Score a million headshots using only a slingshot while pressing the B button on alternate Thurdays--acheivement unlocked. For a movie, what yould you do, put it in, press play and let it run to the end credits? Hell you don't even have to watch the damn thing.

It's sad to see that some people would need some sort of award for some of the silliest things.

Yeah, for the most part, you're right, but I had to put some effort into Memento.

Only if I get an achievement for getting an achievement for watching a movie. Otherwise there's no point.

IMO it's not worth it unless you get an achievement for getting an achievement that you got for getting an achievement for watching a movie. Anything less than that is just a waste of time.

An achivement for watching a terrible movie like Revenge Of The Fallen - 'Watched Revenge Of The Fallen: Well done, you endured one of the worst movies ever made. Now do something about your IQ since your brains must be dripping out of your ears by now after watching that rubbish ~ 100G' Or 'Watched Batman And Robin: Maybe you should have worn a bib to catch the drool after your brain died from watching that movie - 100G'

Batman & Robin sucks, but I like it kind of. I also think Batman Forever was kind of cool.

Everything to do with Batman is brilliant. All the Batman films were good. I won't have it any other way.

I always joke around it with my brother, for instance, whenever we finish a movie and the credit rolls we go "the platinum will come out in any minute" then someone make the "DING!" sound or something. It would be interesting, but no, I don't like it. :P
