I have a netfilx account and watch movies. It's esp fun to watch with friends and make comments and jokes -- to me. I live by myself and the company while watching is the best. But I also watch them when I'm snowed in for a day or 2, along with reading. I sometimes watch one at night too but prefer to watch movies with friends.
Watched Julie and Julia last weekend and we really enjoyed it, then bought the cookbook the next day.
I don't have tv service and only did except for about 4 years after an injury where I was laid up for some of that time.
All the best,
robyn
