/life/No Repeat Movies

Last night I accidentally watched Paycheck. Again.

I didn't remember it until it was too late and I was hooked into the cheesy detective/MacGuyver plot line, and then proceeded to waste two hours watching a crappy movie I'd already seen. So I decided I'm going to spend two months where I won't see any movies I've already seen. I imagine I repeat-see a movie about once or twice a month, so I should get about six hours back. 6 hours / (2 months * 60 days/month * 24 hours/day) = 0.42% of my time recovered by not watching crap a second time around. Woohoo!

You'd probably save a lot more time if you just stopped watching crappy movies altogether,

I support the "no crappy movies" strategy, but then I did watch the recent Transformer movie, which was terrible.

Also, it's 60 days / 2 months, but your percentage is still correct.

Your fact-checking is diligent as always, RCW. :-)

I'm amazed you watch a repeat movie that frequently! I've seen maybe a handful of movies more than once.
