I watch about five a week (sometimes more)as im usually disgruntled with the Virgin tivo service and require more for my personal televisual pleasure.

It depends on what I have going on and if there's any shows I like to watch on TV.

Lady Lucifer 08-09-2012 03:06 AM

On average about 8. Some nights we don't watch any and some it's 2 a night.

I've always heard that! :D

I was able to visit England about 5 years or so ago. In March. Coldest March in England's history. And I didn't bring my down parka, just a wool coat. Damn, I froze my ass off! Next on my bucket list is Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. Don't know that I'll ever see them, money's a bit tight. If I win the lottery I'll be there!

True. Maybe I'll just buy a summer house there when I win the Powerball on Saturday.

Elvis_Christ 08-09-2012 07:40 AM

Not nearly as many as I used to watch seeing as I work shitty night-shift hours. Usually watch a couple over the weekend and occasionally have a marathon of 4 flicks in a row.

roshiq 08-09-2012 07:49 AM

Try to watch at least 2 every day :D

Atraxi 08-09-2012 11:53 AM

It depends on how I'm feeling. A lot of the time, especially during the summer, I don't like sit in and watch anything. I live in New England so we have summer for maybe 2 months and I like to abuse the hell out of it if I can. I also have to just be in the mood to watch things.

Fearonsarms 08-10-2012 01:37 AM

It does change but usually one or two a day. I hardly watch any TV besides movies nowadays so definitely watch more movies than tv shows

Elvis_Christ 08-10-2012 07:54 AM

This thread has put me in the mood to watch a shitload of movies this weekend! Work's over bring on the flicks and couch vegetation.

Stay for summer and autumn, flee the winter as fast as you can. We pretty regularly get snowed into our house and have to have someone dig us out. Except for last winter- that's even if you still want to call it winter. Autumn is beautiful here, though.

The Ugly Duchess 08-10-2012 01:07 PM

I must watch at least 10 movies a week.

But horror is only a small part since I like westerns, film noir, action and adventure, sci fi, war and classic TV which I have been collecting on DVD or watch on TV Land.

With the exception of news and sports, I have no idea what comes on prime time TV and what I have seen I do not like ( except maybe The Closer)

I am damned proud to say that I have never watched a reality show and don't never intend to.

Thank goodness for cable and DVD!

Right On......can't stand them. I actually get feelings of rage if I walk into a room and my wife is watching one.

The only reality shows I watch are the ones on Food Network, Discovery, Syfy, and History.

On typical day, rise at 4:30, build from a base of two slasher films over coffee, lunch with usually a few Vincent Price throwbacks, some more recent stuff in the afternoon, then add a dollop of something off the wall ranging from Cannibal Holocaust to Ghoulies. Cook and stir and serves up about 4 or 5 movies a day.

nice work...do you work?

bwind22 08-10-2012 09:42 PM

My answer generally depends on how many television shows I happen to be watching that week/season. On an ideal movie week, 7-10. On a busy tv week, 1-2.

wordsmithjts 08-13-2012 06:53 AM

Im addicted to horror films!
 
I watch at least 1 movie a day and 3 or 4 on my weekends. When I'm not watching horror movies I'm reading horror novels. Real world is so boring that I need a good horror story to delve into.

I try to watch at least 2 or 3, but I rarely have time for even that many these days.

This summer I've been watching anywhere from 7 - 10, during school usually about half as many, if that.
