to think some programmes/films FOLLOW you around making you watch them?

It is roughly the twenty fifth time I have turned on the telly and found that film with Keanu Reeves in sub-acting splendour, setting fire to a lot of grapes in wartime Italy.

THE SAME BIT.

I have never watched it intentionally and would not wish to. So why does it keep being on??Just for ME? at 4.35 in the morning?

We are talking over a period of years now. Seriously is God trying to make me learn something about vineyards?

Do YOU have a film that stalks you?
I want to know.

I think the TV God is trying to tell you to GET SOME SLEEP . Are you sure you weren't hallucinating? Why is Keanu setting fire to grapes? Do grapes even burn?

The episode of Scrubs where Turk and Carla get married stalks me. I love Scrubs, but whenever I see it's on and decide to watch, it's the same episode.

I don;t think it is vineyards, unless you drink a LOT of wine

nah, it is keanu in his all his glory I think. maybe you have him in your future.....

I seem to tunr on the TV to crap chat-shows. of the american trailer-trash type. god knows what that says about me

See this is what I mean Hassled, don't underestimate the power of the powers that be, iygwim.

they are trying to tell you something about marriage perhaps or just doctors in general

Grapes burn, hell yes they burn...you should see it (sfx notwithstanding)

Psycho. Me and Ke almost share a birthday, maybe that is another SIGN...

For your viewing pleasure...and to prove that grapes burn

I know just what you mean. Pulp fiction stalks me. The dancing bit in the diner, the overdose and the "say what again, I dare you" bit. Never seen any other bits. Don't even know which order those bits go in.

NationalFlight · 25/05/2009 09:05

That's so weird isn't it? Why the same bits?

Mind you I rather like John Trav.

Thanks Flight - I didn't realise I fancied Keanu until now.

Hassled · 25/05/2009 09:47

Hmm. I might have to sacrifice the grapes in my fridge to check they were telling the truth .

PuppyMonkey · 25/05/2009 09:54

Master and Commander stalks me - I do not want to watch it, ok!!! But it's always there, on FilmFour every night at 9pm. Or so it seems.

PuppyMonkey - I LOVE Master and Commander! I thought I would hate it before I watched it - so much so that DH had to take my Dad to see it.

I find that I always turn on a TV programme at the exact part that has been used for a trailer beforehand and so carry on watching for at least five minutes until I realise it is the actual programme (half way through usually). Always makes me ponder if there is some reason why this should be, it happens so often I can't believe it is totally coincidental.

The film that stalks me is The Fifth Element. Liked it when I saw it the first three times but it will a be a good few years before I want to see it again. Unfortunately DH loves it so I have to hide the fact it is on.

jordan and peter stalk me. either that or their show is repeated an awful lot.

AnathemaDevice · 25/05/2009 13:04

Whenever I want to watch Miami Ink, 9 times out of 10 it's the episode with the annoying blonde woman having a Koi carp tattoo, while arguing with Ami. I want to see another episode once in a while!
