How often do you watch films?

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 06 Jun 2007, 22:03

And where?

I reckon I try and go to the cinema around once or twice a week (depending on what's on).

At home... I try and watch a further two films but it depends on how busy I am etc.

So I dunno... around 3 or 4 a week? Depends really ken?

I used to watch about 1-2 a week, some cinema and some DVD. Now a days (for months now) it's about once a month. I've not watched a DVD for months. I can't ever seem to find the time any more

I hardly watch movies anymore. I used to watch movies all the time, but nowadays I'm usually just on the internet.
Dont get me wrong, I LOVE watching movies... but I just cant seem to sit myself down to watch one. So now it''s just 1-2, maybe 3 a week.
When I have my website up I hope to get back in the rythm of watching at least 1 movie a day.

I average about one a day but that's usually because I watch several when I'm not busy too make up for missed days. Never go to the cineam unless it's for a festival, I just watch at home free from distractions.

I wish I had more time to watch films. I only get to watch about 3 or 4 a week on average. I only get to go to the cinema now and again.

The past quite a few months I've not watched many films at all, maybe just 1 a week or two weeks. I have been watching a lot of TV series though. Pretty much every day with my dinner I watch an episode of whatever series it is me and the girlf are working our way through.

But films - given the huge backlog on my shelves, I wish I watched more, but like others have said, somehow don't seem to find the time. I seem to be thinking "that film's about 2 hours long, I can't be bothered sitting down for that length of time, I've got other things to do!", then I go and spend 3 hours on the internet or something doing absolutely nothing!!!

I'm like that as well Degen

I wish I watched more films though, and could watch what I have before buying more!

I don't go to the cinema because films are never shown in their original language over here.

Watch 5 films a week on my 106" screen.

Watch 7 films a week on my computer screen (mostly random asian stuff downloaded from eDonkey or Bittorrent).

ANy chance you could a pic of your 106" screen in action? Just so I can get some sort of visualisation of what a screen that big looks like!!!

Yeah, that would be good!

I haven't been watching films much lately either, but I seem to go through phases of listening to loads of music all the time, watching loads of films all the time, and sometimes getting the urge to buy a games system and play games all the time haha. I'm currently in the music phase.

As many as I can, but that varies each week. I alternate with TV shows and try to get thru entire seasosn in a row, its easier to slot in a TV episode as they are shorter.

But the last 7 days I have watched so far

Vamp – 3.75 out of 5
Spiderman 3 – 4 out of 5 (In Cinema)
Terminator 2 – 4.5 out of 5
The Terminator – 4.25 out of 5
Total Recall – 4.25 out of 5

and nearly a full season of Andromeda Season 4

I listen to massive amounts of music at work

and commenraties too, about 6 hours worth a day, far easier to listen then to watch I find.

I dont see the point in talking the talk, but not walking the walk.
Get of the net and acctually watch the things you moan about I say.

Too many people mope about forums, saying nothing and doing nothing (I do it myself) really we all need to get off the stupid net I say, or limit how much we spend, its damn sad to think how much wasted time looking about for shit takes up.

I agree with Romero that I waste too much time browsing the web instead of actually doing stuff. Before the internet, I kept myself busy. Now the internet keeps me busy.

I do wish the net would go down a few days of the week

I've got such a huge backlog of DVDs (ok not quite Romero & Shingster level) that I've not bought a disc in months. I can't justify spending more money on movies when I have many unwatched titles on my shelves.

So it should keep me going for a while. I have a cineworld pass as well. In a way I've made my movie investment for the next year or so. I can comfortably watch a few titles a week... finding time for it however is kinda tricky...

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 07 Jun 2007, 20:02

Hey my backlog isn't too shabby ya know Bisc!

Of the 1000+ DVDs I own, I must have about 20films unwatched, 4 TV season boxsets, 8 Anime boxsets (length of series vary).

I average 2-3 films per day I reckon, now that the US TV season is pretty much dead I can average 4 films a day.

You'll find a few pics of my projector in action in there.

Here's my old 99" screen (not exactly small, was it ?):
