Well, at least you watch classic movies. If you were watching direct to video level fair, that would be different.  I usually watch movies that were made in the 30's to the early part of the 60's. That's accounts about 75% of my classic movies that I watch and the remaining 25% from the remaining 60's to the present. |

I try to watch or rewatch a movie just about every night, and lately it's more on YouTube or Dailymotion than Amazon or Hulu--the quality is sometime spotty, but you find some interesting and overlooked gems. For example, this is probably one of the New Yorkiest movies I've ever seen: |

Regrettably, she's gone for the moment. She made an unreasonable demand of me, threatening to delete her account if I did not comply. I did not comply. |

I sometimes grunt when getting up... Grunting was a transitional phase for me. I now mutter "Oy" when getting up. |

Another thing I need to do is to start paying more attention and proofreading all of my posts. I've been making an unacceptable number of typos lately. I think I'll punish myself by reading X-Force #1 by Rob Liefeld.

Though I don't play video games, I definitely piddle away too much time on the internet, doing not much of anything at all. TV has never been a huge temptation to me, unless there's something specific I want to see - then I'm quite capable of, for example, binge-watching a series I'm really into. But I was never one to just have the tv on and channel-surf in the hopes of coming across something half-interesting - and even less so now that we can more or less watch what we want, when we want.
Talking about wanting to spend more time reading or watching movies - I can sympathise with that. I find that making it a little project for yourself can help - something like mrp's reading plan (see the mrp's mid-file crisis thread), or Wesley Dodd's movie-watching program (see the classic movies thread). I'm doing something like that myself with reading, and it's certainly helped me - I'm more conscientious about making sure I read at least a little bit of my current book(s) every day, even if work or other things leave me almost no time.
So my advice would be to set yourself a modest but concrete goal of some kind - make a list of 10 films you want to watch over the next 6 months, or whatever you think you can do, something like that. Though I don't set time limits, myself.

How is it cutting into your leisure time if you enjoy it?
I have the opposite problem. I feel like my adult life (school and work) is consuming my time for video games, television and reading. I've never really watched YouTube. Thank god finals are over and I can start Mass Effect and the Wheel of Time and finish Doom Patrol and DS9 (I've been on the last two for at least a year!), but in a year I'll graduate and have to get serious.
