Trying to knock off the rest of the first Monster Legacy sets before the next wave drops in less than two weeks. Got through the Dracula set early this evening and moved on to the Frankenstein one. I keep forgetting how much I love the atmosphere of the original Frankenstein movie.

Dude, how on earth do you watch so much stuff, get out & enjoy life. Even if you somehow have one of those magical jobs where one claims to play DVDs all day, you must have some work to do, so at best you could only list to those DVDs which is not "watching them", plus your DVD watching that you list in one day is often well over 12 hours of watching, so you could not possibly have time to do anything else if you actually watch the stuff you list.

Plus, you phantom bump this thread constatnly, deleting your posts & making new ones. Why not just edit your initial post like other people do instead of phantom bumping all the time, I guess just so can get the newest post in.

I don't mean to pick on you, but man you watch a lot & love letting everone know it.

First of all I really can't believe I have to justify my watching habits but this is the second time in two weeks somebody's basicly called me a liar...

I do the "phantom bumps" because the way I was doing it before seemed exsesive. I was editing posts during the day and then starting a new one the next day. I'd rather have them all on one post. Personal choice and I don't see what the big deal is...

My job isn't magical by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have a portable DVD player in my car and usually 2 hours of breaks a day.

My days off, as of late, has been primarily spent at home editing my current movie and planning the next one... Which can take up 12 hours some days. And being a night owl I'm not usually in the mood to do anything until late evening anyway.

Plus there's the stuff I watch while ending out my night. I usually fall asleep with the TV on.

So as you can see yes I do watch a lot but I'm also completely satisfied with the way I'm leading my life. And as far as "...love letting everone know it..." I honestly could give a shit who knows what I watch. But the thread is titled What Are You Watching This Week/Weekend?

And some people have taken time to read what I watched and have e-mailed me to say we have similar tastes, and have asked what I thought about certain movies. And I've been more then happy to give them my views on them.

Anyway, I never thought what I was doing was such a big deal, but since it apparently is to some I'll start including the exact amount of time spent on each movie.

Oh and thank you for you concern...

I didn't say anything about you being a liar, but twice in the same week that happened? Sure makes one wonder?

If you such a stickler for detailes abiding by the thread title, then from your own explanation, you don't actually watch most of the stuff you post, so why list it? You just listen to it which isn't at all what the thread title or the thread is about.

Anyway, I never thought what I was doing was such a big deal, but since it apparently is to some I'll start including the exact amount of time spent on each movie.

The listing the times is just frightening. But I wasn't concerned, just completely shocked, one of those frivilous puzzles that gets in your head. I love movies & DVDs, but b/w work, school, friends, family, girlfriend, & even with little sleep days go by where I have no time to get to watch anything.Anyyone who claims they actually watch that much & even more bizarre to constantly go to a computer & update to strangers every time they watch something new, I just needed to know how that is possible.

Friday I watched the first series of Spaced, a brilliant British comedy, and Azumi, which is an action packed Samurai movie.

Sunday I watched Sil Mi Do, a sort of Korean version of The Dirty Dozen, only the training is more brutal. Great movie.

Monday, I hopefully will watch the rest of Spaced, and, the first disc of Blake's Seven.
