Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Ersbel Oraph This is not a show. This is surveillance footage. At a retirement home for the demented. Where everybody plays a character, the character in their own head. Maybe this is the way things go in the States. And that is fine with me. But watching the trash digging thought the trash? And even if that is your thing, it's less than a couple of minutes after at least 10 of camera zooming around.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

T Sladz I really enjoy Storage Hunters - even though I know it is very silly! Of course it is staged - quite a few of the characters (or social misfits,depending on your opinion) are actors! The show isn't meant to educate/ inform - it's just a bit of light fun! I would rather watch an entire week of it than watch a single episode of the so-called (also staged)"living soaps" (TOWIE, Chelsea, Kardashians etc.) which are full of surgically-enhanced narcissists who either act dumb or have "showmances" Also why all the sexist comments about Lori being "fat"? Actually she looks normal! Maybe some reviewers only think women who look like models should be on TV?

Mark Stone Yet again, another network scores with a hit, and TRU tries to capitalize and a cheap imitation, and FAILS miserably. They give you NOBODY on the show who is even worth rooting for as an underdog. Where as on A&E, everyone seems to find something likable in most of the participants (even the "Villains"). In this version, there is absolutely nobody worth liking.When I watch this (and ONLY when there's zero else on the TV), I honestly hope everyone goes broke each and every time (and that includes the auctioneer). That's how little anyone on this show Heck, the Baggage hunters show has at least one likable set of participants. But not here.If this one could get negative stars for their rating, that's what they would get.

mrcheesewright Storage Hunters is a reality show about people that bid on abandoned storage bins around the USA. The locations differ from episode to episode, sometimes being in the desert, others in the city and occasionally in the docks. What I have learned from these shows is as follows:1) There is only one auctioneer in the whole of AmericaIt is a bald man called Sean. He waves his arms around and goes "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" a lot. He wears a 'Staff' T-shirt but, seeing as he flogs stuff at a different location on every show, must be hired at a lot of places simultaneously. He fist-bumps people and thinks of looky-likey type nicknames for the unnamed, non-bidding crowd members in an entirely, 100% genuine, non-scripted way. Sean is my hero.2) There are only five people who are permitted to bid on auctions in AmericaThey are a husband and wife team with all the personality of a spit- drenched rag, a black guy that shouts "Money!" a lot, a man with a big beard, a guy with big sideburns and some old redneck guy. They all hate each other for no discernible reason. Other people are allowed to watch, but they can neither bid on nor win anything.3) Winning auctions in America makes people angryWhenever anyone stops bidding, someone else wins. The losers then get angry at the winners even though they could have kept bidding and won themselves. I don't understand why they feel the need to do this, but at least I now feel suitably prepared for an auction situation in the future.4) There is only one person in America who is qualified enough to snip through a padlock with some bolt cuttersHis name is Green Mile and he hangs around with Sean. He must be a hugely skilled professional or why else would the producers pay for him to travel the country just to perform one menial task? Green Mile is my hero.5) Every storage bin in America is required by law to contain a load of seemingly worthless junk, with one piece of incredibly valuable loot hidden somewhere at the back.Think it's all dog food? Wrong - there is a diamond-encrusted collar in a tiny box under a bag of kibbles. Think it's all cuddly toys? No - you'll find an Electric Supercar in there somewhere if you look hard enough. I like this rule. It makes every auction ultimately pay off.6) In America, no matter where you are in the Country, it is possible to somehow instantaneously summon up an expert in anything you can find in a random box-full of crap."Hey, look! I've bought an old propeller! I know a guy who can tell me everything there is to know about this. I'll call him now, and he'll be here immediately. Even though I'm from Boston and am currently in Palm Springs". That kind of thing.7) People who buy stuff at clearance auctions are qualified to value anything off the top of their headsBidder: "What is it?"Sean the Auctioneer: "It's an old door"Bidder: "This is worth seven hundred bucks!"Note - 3 seconds earlier he didn't even know what it was. Now he can value it to the dollar. It's like auction magic!Well, there you go - the 7 rules to American auctions. Trust me: Reality TV doesn't get much more reality-er than this.
