How many films a day can you watch?

As a personal record, per day and full of ocupations as I am, 3 or 4.

When I was 10 And up to my 15th birthday, I read about 1 book a week or so. Depending how thick the book, my mood at the time, the type of book I had chosen and some other factors as the previously mentioned.
I remember making a list of all the books I read, and the dates. This year I learnt my dad used to do the exact same thing. Only his list was the double of mine.
Everything started in january after I turned 10(read my profile, my bday is in November).
We had gone on holiday to a little village and we were sorrounded by woods and a river. We didn't have a t.v. Luckily we never have used it that much, so no loss.
The best thing there was to be done was riding and swimming. I'm a huge fan of both of them, so after a long morning swim, we would have lunch next to the river and then read together for hours. By "together" I mean, my dad, my brother and me.
I read 4 books in those 2 weeks.
I have kept the reading habit with me all my life. The stories become a part of me, making me rethink things or helping me reasure something I knew I was right about. They make me cry, or laugh. They wrap around my sad little heart making it feel warm or making it burst in flames.
Lately, and by lately I mean since I was 15, motionn pictures have had a similar effect on me.
Perhaps it has to do with the fact that a lot of the things I've read have been adapted to become movies.
I can sit and watch them for hours. New movies, old movies, sci-fi, realistic, of old times, comedies, dramatic,if its worth it, I'll watch it.
One of the last ones I saw was The Life Aquatic from Wes Anderson. I have it on dvd and it was the only one I hadn't watch from him. And I found it incredible. It amazes me how simple are this characters to express and infity of feelings.
Why can't we do that as well?
