Movie ramble - Why I don't watch TV

We do not have a television at our house. We do have a TV but no reception to the house so we watch videos and DVDs once or twice a week. It is many years since I have spent any time watching television and can truly say I do not miss it.  In the past I have been a TV addict until I stopped and thought about the amount of time it wastes ang the crap that is on.  Here in NZ the level of advertising time crammed into the programming is extreme. I believe that with Video/DVD it allows me to choose what to watch and when and there are no adds.  I also get out to the movie theatre occasionally - often just going out on my own because I am too disorganised to plan in advance - if our children are settled into bed at a reasonable hour (8pmish) and my Wife is available to stay with the them then I might decide to go out to catch a movie.

 

I have really been enjoying SiFis lately - Vanilla Sky, Minority Report, Truman Show, S1mone, Gattaca, Blade Runner - directors cut, Being John Malcovich.
