This entire post, conversely, is why I almost never watch TV or movies. When I am interested in watching something (an exceedingly rare event in itself as my taste in TV shows and movies is extremely limited and sort of high-brow) I want to give said show or movie my complete, undivided attention. I mean, I don't even want to get up to pee and god help me if the cat has to throw up or the dog has to go out, because unless he's choking on it or she's about to piss the floor it can just wait.
The amount of time I have to give anything my undivided attention is so infinitesimally small that I wind up spending 99% of it on something else besides screen-watching. Sometimes I wish I'd give myself a break but I feel like there's always something else more important to do than catch up on the last nine episodes of The Good Wife or the last 10 movies I told someone I really wanted to see (which was so long ago I forget their titles along with the titles of every other movie I've been meaning to watch for the last 10-20 years).
