The most I’ve managed is 4 times in one year due to husband declaring it’s “too much”. So we settled back into a routine of twice (one in summer, one at Christmas).

Moral of the story, getting married isn’t worth it.

Yeah but he’s also a great cook so you win some you lose some.

We only do once a year. I could do more often, but it would become less special.

I want it to still feel epic each time.

This is be best marriage PSA I’ve ever seen. I’ve got a new box to check in the pre marriage checklist now for sure.

Why would anyone watch it that many times on Netflix, they don’t even have the extended version!!

They probably put it on to fall asleep to.

Almost definitely. They’re putting it on 6 days a week, and the familiarity of the music and voices would lend itself to be relaxing.

My only question is are they doing this for themselves, or is it a child that they’re lulling to sleep?

Considering they are getting through the whole trilogy I’m guessing it’s probably more background noise during work or something.

We had an Xbox hooked up to a wall mounted TV in our company break room. I used to show up first in the morning and play movies and streams on it for people to breeze by and see throughout the day. I could easily see someone doing this in a game store or gaming cafe.

This is probably the real explanation. I’ve been in several local small businesses where they’re constantly streaming the same TV shows/movies every time I go in there.

Yeah LOTR is great because you’d only need to change the movie twice in a full 8 hour shift (for Netflix standard editions)

My wife puts Harry Potter movies on for background noise. We probably play some of them 100 times per year if not more. We only watch maybe 2% of the time though.

“somebody” is probably a break room somewhere and they just leave it on repeat.

I’m left to wonder if it’s a business that leaves it in in the background or a part of a daily playlist? 300 times seems like a bit much…

Like could you even fit that many viewings back to back in a year?? (I kid…)

Maybe someone’s pet likes it so they leave it playing while they’re at work.
