So, at which speed do you guys watch your films?
In my case i don't have a real preference,i change the speed depending on the film. sometimes i even change the speed in the middle of the film depending on the pace of the scene (i recommend to keybind the Speed+/speed- to the left and right click in the mouse)
For example if it's a fast paced action film like The Raid or The Tuxedo i usually use 1.0x speed or maybe 1.1x because some scenes turn into real clusterfucks if you go more than that, and if im watching something like Werckmeister harmóniák a Hou Hsiao-Hsien film or an Ozu film i can go up to 1.5x or 1.6x, i think it's the best speed for these kind of films because you can still enjoy the cinematography without feeling like you are missing something.
But for some films i do the opposite, i watched most of Stan Brakhage's shorts at 0.3x speed and it was incredible, the same with Jonas Mekas.
So, what should i do anon's,should i keep changing the speed like this depending of the film? I know that there is a debate about this and some people say in other sites that the best way to go is to train the eye for a certain speed and watch all the films like that, but i just don't have the force of will for that .... is it worth it?

Do yourself a favour and try to go for 1.2x always, it works the best for most films and in the end you save a lot of time by not having to change the speed mid film
>>
start out with 1.1x, then depending how much the movie sucks increase by increments of 0.1x

I try not to change the speed at all because silly as it sounds I feel like I'm insulting the director/editor by not watching the film at the intended pace, but if it's a more popcorn-y flick or an episode of a sitcom or something, I'll speed it up to around 1.2, sometimes even double speed if I'm really hating it but feel compelled to "finish" it.

there are way too many movies, who cares if you insult the director, maybe he shouldve made a better movie that doesnt feel so drawn out.

Well, its not like the director or the editor of the film know better than you at which speed you should watch the film, sometimes is am arbitrary decisión.
And im telling you this because i first i thought like you, but if people use the equalizer to change the sound of a song and the artists are ok with It, why would changing the speed of a film "ruin" the vision of the director?

Another thing you guys can do rather than watching crap movies at high speeds is not watch them at all.
