I spoilered it because it's so long. #1 made me laugh. I'm a little surprised that I've only seen one of these, #65.Popeye_Card wrote:I think you should subject yourself to having to watch IMDB's bottom 100.

Re: Recently viewed 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?

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..

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

Re: Recently viewed movies
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.
