The majority of movies and TV shows I have watched all happened before I left college. I was lucky shyt like The Wire and The Sopranos was coming out when I was still in high school and college. I made a big point in college to try to buy at least one DVD a week to watch. I wanted to at least get the IMDB top 200 list out of the way and start watching indie classics. It was the same for music. I was buying 50 packs of CD-Rs at a time and burning all the classics I never got to, and was up on every mixtape from the mainstream to the underground.

Once I started adulting, that shyt stopped. I have to be really convinced something is worth my time for me to watch/listen. I've watched one movie in theaters this year. If it's not on HBO, I'm hard pressed to give a new series a blind chance. I don't remember the last new artist I listened to. shyt scressful:francis:

I don’t, but I’m specifically making time on evenings and weekends to get into shows like Insecure since it’s not coming back til next year-I hate being way behind or unaware of really good series. Plus I have a weird all-in investment even when shows start getting bad (Homeland needs to wrap up but I watched all of it for example) so anything more than 4 shows keeping current with is like a project-I can basically manage two.


Oh and on the cardio machine and lifting I watch :laugh:

i wish i could watch tv when i'm on the treadmill, i need music to power me through :lift:

and i'm always behind or late to good/popular tv shows, i usually catch on in season 3 or 4, i need it to be proven that it's good before i join lol. that's why i tried to jump on westworld day 1, and that ended up burning me, that show lost me completely last season :laugh:. i think insecure, barry, succession and atlanta are the only recent shows i got into during season 1 or 2

I don't


I come back in a year or so and watch the B list shows.

Might even be 5, 10 years.



Plus if it's superhyped I flat out ignore it til I get bored.

i pretty much DVR everything .. then binge 3-4 episodes (of a HH show) its 2 of a hour long .. but sometimes if its good i just keep going before i notice the clock says 3AM then i'm like time for bed, gotta work in the morn. then i wake up a hour late (@ 7) tired.

I don't and cant watch TV on my phone. I cant watch anything like that on a screen that small..

but I do have entire series on my DVR external drive I haven't watched yet. Got Dr. Who from season 8, Luther season 2 and other stuff

No hate, but I check threads here just to see what some shows I don’t watch are about, may add a few to my “watch at some point” list, but then I see a few posters in damn near every thread...how the fukk y’all finding time to watch all this shyt? Do you spend all your free time watching tv/movies?

:mjpls:

I wonder the same thing. I don't consume much media like that during the week. So I try to spend a solid 2-4 hours on a Saturday/Sunday binging. But if I'm busy those days its generally a no go.

When I really like a show I'll squeeze in some time throughout the week to catch up but otherwise I'll get to stuff when I get to it:yeshrug:

The beauty of digital on demand is that u can take ur time and spend a week watching a 2 hour movie if u wanted.


I'm finally working my way through the Lord of the ring films by watching 25-30 min segments then turning it off


No way in hell am I watching a 4 hour Lord of the rings movie in one sitting

Single, no kids, only work 30 hours a week after leaving my last job in January that had me regularly working 50-60 hours a week for 8 straight months.

At my age, 34, most of my friends fall into one of the below categories if not multiple:
  1. Married
  2. Have kids
  3. Moved away
  4. Working themselves to an early grave
Thus I mostly just keep to myself and don't travel much so I have plenty of free time.

It rarely happens but whenever I get the burnout on TV and games, I fall back on manga and books.

If I ever get bored with all of them it's time for me to go outside. I'm a solitary breh myself but I can't stare too long at my walls if I got nothing to do. :mjgrin:

:heh:

But you can watch shyt on your phone and tablet and shyt nowadays.

Yep, I do it at work too. Cleared a lot of media at work or whenever I got to wait somewhere.
