discuss Movie marathon...how frequently you do that?

[arunima]

We have so many OTT platforms and streaming services these days and we can get into movie watching at our convenience. Gone are days when movie watching used to take a lot of planning beforehand as we had to go out of our comfort of home to a movie theatre. And we had to think of the budget too. Movie watching did cost and so we did it in limit. But now we get it 24*7 at our convenience from the comfort of our home. Binge watching is one new trend that people often talk about. They watch movies and shows back to back spending hours.
For me, it's very rare that I get into binge watching. I deliberately keep my Screen watching time limited for few hours on weekend to avoid distractions. I have a late night movie watching ritual on Fridays to kick off the weekend mood. Yesterday, I watched two unfinished movies from last two weeks and one movie. Well, all three from Bollywood. Bollywood movies are lengthy, so I ended up spending five hours watching all together. That's very rare with me and happens once in a blue moon..
What about you? Share your thoughts and experiences around binge watching.

I don't really do it much, maybe once every couple of months, I usually do it more with series, since I can watch chapter after chapter without having to look for another movie to watch...

I have done binge watching before, back then when I was younger and have fewer responsibilities. Now the time is just not there anymore, even if I want to.
Take me back to those days man

I binge watch movies and TV series, I don't do too much as I used to in the past but I still manage to binge watch once in a month.

OTT platforms introduced a transformation that now lets viewers enjoy movies conveniently. I spend at least one month's worth of movie marathons every month as I watch both familiar and new shows and films.

The numerous streaming platforms now force me to do movie marathons more often on weekend days. It provides me with an enjoyable relaxation, following extended work weeks.

Never, I like to watch things little by little, in this case I like to watch movies, a single movie per day or every 2 days, seeing so many in a short time saturates me.

I'll take a day or two every few months to binge-watch movies or TV series. When it comes to binge-watching movies, I can only get through 2, maybe 3, movies before enough is enough. It's much different with TV series though. It's like I can seemingly watch an entire season over a few days.

This reminds me, I still have to finish Band of Brothers as I stopped on Episode 7.

It is difficult to stop when you are kept in suspense or when the storyline is exciting. I remember Vampire Diaries and Desperate Housewives; I had to abandon many things to watch from one season to another. But now I cannot spare that kind of time unless during holiday or festive period.

Usually I do it when I'm having a stay-cation. A lot of times, when I'm on vacation and I just want to relax at home, I'll have a movie marathon. I'm thinking about doing a Harry Potter marathon next.
