Tuesday, August 10, 2004 The Pitch: It's like Rain Man meets Videodrome! So before things started getting crazy at work, I did some rudimentary number-crunching. Actually, it's less like crunching than gnawing: I was able to establish that, of the 538 movies I've seen in the last eight years, I saw 278 of them in the theater and 260 on video and/or cable.Ta-dah! I haven't had a chance to poke much more than that, although one very obvious trend I noticed is, thanks to Edi and the Naz Super 8, I go to the movies a lot more than I used to: I've seen almost as many movies in the theater in the last two and a half years (135) as I did in the approx. five years before (143). And the converse is even more dramatically true: Out of the 260 films I've watched on video (which of course includes DVD, cable TV, pay-per-view, etc.), I've only watched 70 of those since we've been dating--the other 190 took place before. A recent upsurge in video watching (at 24 movies as of July, I've already watched more movies on video than I did in either 2003 or 2002 (23 each year). Since we now live together, the stats would seem to suggest that Edi and I "date" less--and spend more time staying in watching movies from the comfort of our place. (I've only seen 18 movies in the theater since we've moved in together--twelve of them were with Edi, three were with other people, and three were by myself. And yes, all three of those solo flicks were Indian films.) (This is why I'm still kicking myself for forgetting to update my bio last night--those numbers all got a kick in the shorts recently as I've seen at least three movies in the theater in the movie in the last two weeks). Interesting, no? No? Too bad, because I plan on exploring this more in future posts... posted by Jeff Lester | 12:39 PM | |
