I think you should subject yourself to having to watch IMDB's bottom 100.
Omaha, where do you find the time to watch that many movies?

Omaha, where do you find the time to watch that many movies?
No dizzle. I've had the same movie from Netflix for the past 3 weeks.

if i'm not working, working out, eating, out drinking, walking the dog, doing house/yard work,
etc etc.. i'm watching a movie. i never watch plain tv.. it slows down in the summer of
course.. but regular tv is terrible, i'll watch football and/or baseball.. i don't get every
cards game so that allows a lot more time.. so yeah.. i watch a lot of movies..

I guess you're right, if I never watch any tv shows (other than sports) then I probably could watch a decent amount of movies.

Do you always watch them straight through or do you sometimes break them up in different sittings?

different sittings for sure on most.. i know i watch way too many.. but shoot.. it's cheap,
it's entertaining.. my wife and i work together and are side by side from 8am - 5pm.. so
after work on a normal night we'll kind of do our own thing after dinner.. my house is always clean..
i take my dog for an hour long walk after work, i go out with my friends all the time..
i'm outside all summer long, it's just in the meantime i enjoy the [expletive] out of a good movie..
and those lists i watched i've done over the course of many many years..

When I watch a movie I always have to watch them straight through so I don't forget stuff that happened.

I'm odd. If I sit down on the couch to watch a full sports game, I think nothing of it. I don't want to miss the action as it's happening. But if I sit down to watch an entire movie, I'm antsy the whole time thinking I should be doing something more productive. I'm the same way with reading anymore too.
