In traffic, in grocery lines, at the doctor's office, listen to pointless stories, etc...
Watching movies gets lost in that pile of laundry. We watch dumb things. So what I've decided to do is see how many "good" movies I've seen in my 25 years on the same planet on which "Pootie Tang" was filmed. This is completely subjective and based on Rotten Tomatoes' list of 100 best movies of each year. I'm starting with the 2000s and working my back. They are in order from best reviewed. The numbers are just for listing, of course...)
2000:

So, from 2000 to 2004, I saw 60 of the best 500 movies (12 percent). I'm already seeing that I'm gonna fall into that 12-15 percent range. Not bad (by this panel of one).
More. Later.
