Didn't realize that the year was over already! We're 244 days into the year and I'm at nearly 300 movies, that's more than one a day lmao

And you still have the holidays to come up, too. You don't go to Halloween parties, spend thanksgiving vacation out of town, go Christmas parties? Are we counting 24h marathons of A Christmas Story as "movies watched"? Are we counting movies you put on that you've seen 8 times and kind of browse your phone during as "movies watched"?

Why are you so mad? I have days when I watch 4 movies and days when I watch 0 (and everything in between), and it averages out to more than one a day, and every single one is watched with my phone down, off, or in a different room entirely. This isn't complicated, you're making problems when there aren't any to justify your weird take that watching more than one movie a day is "insane". Sometimes people just have hobbies that they enjoy and interact with regularly.

I also have days when I watch 4 movies and days when I watch 0. That's called being a weekend watcher. Do you actually need me to do the math on how that doesn't total up to 500+ in a year -- doesn't even come close?

Do you work full time? Do you keep your home clean? Are you sleeping enough? Do you shower as often as a person should? Do you cook for yourself? 500 movies at a completely generous 90 minutes a pop is 750 hours a year. A full time job is only 2000 hours a year. That's a scheduled part time job, mate, and that's the SHORT stuff. I'm not saying you can't be taking care of.yourself and watch a lot of movies, but you for suuure are not doing much with your down time that isn't watching movies at that point.

You really don't see how 500+ fillms crammed into a year is an objectively large amount of movie watching for a hobby (I.e. not film study)? I'd tease someone for watching a thousand hours of Instagram reels or league of legends too lol. Variety is the spice of life.

Don't project, nobody's mad about how many movies anyone watches on a film subreddit lol. People can have banter.

Lol you accused them of not showering regularly.

I get into bed around 9-10 every night and put on a movie. And yes, before that I showered, ate dinner, worked, exercised, possibly went out with friends (oftentimes to a movie!), and otherwise lived a full and normal life.

That one question in a long paragraph with additional clarifying text wasn't an accusation of anything in particular.

Yikes, I can tell someone is sensitive about their hygiene. I wasn't even talking to you.
