Of course, for the first 250 movies, I was watching them while on the treadmill–which eliminated distractions but also meant I was only seeing 20-25 minutes at a time. Now, that exercise comes from walking with the wife 6 times a week, hiking once a week–and when I’m watching a movie, that’s all I’m doing. I’m just as happy I don’t have, say, a netbook or iPad/iTouch sitting around to tempt me with distractions…

Actually, the real explanation is that full-time employment leaves my other time rather scarce, and there are far too many interesting things to do in my house, and it’s too easy to get distracted from something dancing in front of me on a screen. It’s sad, though, because I love movies.
