Have you tried Netflix? It's an online service where you queue up all the movies you could ever imagine and find them most days in your mailbox. Whereas I used to watch movies only on occasion, I’m now watching four, five, six movies a week. When I feel that it’s too many, I just take NoDoz.
Recently I figured out my tailspin: I, like other simpletons, am compelled by a feeling of progress. Every time I watch a movie, I remove an item from some unseen to-do list. It doesn't matter that the list will never end; the important thing is that I make progress.
Netflix has me right where it wants me -- watching movies I would never rent at Blockbuster. Yesterday I saw a children's movie from Serbia! Who would have thought that claymation could be that horrible. But it wasn’t a waste of time because I am building secret credits toward a degree in ... in ... Ebertology.
You are not alone. My friend Tracy was OBSESSED with Netflix, too. It all started when she lost her job and had waaaaay too much time on her hands between unemployment checks but now she's back on the road to recovery. Work will do that do you-- so in your case it's probably got you for life..LOL;}
Was that Alice in Wonderland? I kept watching it, hoping it would get better. It just got more disturbing.I, personally like the Blockbuster thing because I still like walking in and spending a hour walking aimlessly through the aisles and then rewarding myself with a pint of Cherries Garcia
