Moving Picture Overload Complex

So for the past few days my flatmates have been suffering from Moving Picture Overload Complex. For the lack of internet we have been digesting movie after movie after movie after show after show after show.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Lars and the Real Girl
Nowhere Boy
(500) Days of Summer
Romeo and Juliet
The X-Files
Shutter Island
Rushmore
Black Books
Factory Girl
Movie
Show
Movie
I don't know why but I never get sick of watching the moving picture. Whether it be a TV series or a movie marathon I don't feel like giving up. Maybe it's from my summer training of watching series of K-Dramas. As said in my previous post there is a heavy tone of nudity in the past few movies. Were they even necessary for the progression of the movie? Maybe the selection we have at home just have a too much nipple frontal action...
Ones where 'suspending your disbelief' becomes just too difficult to do. Lars and the Real Girl. While it was an entertaining movie I just couldn't help scoffing at the screen. Ryan Gosling's character Lars begins an unorthodox relationship with a sex doll. Don't worry. Throughout the movie Lars doesn't actually test if the life-like plastic woman really does what she says on the box. If anything his character makes an object of  lesser sense into something completely innocent. Into just a companion of conversation. The town-folk people are all exposed to Lars' new ''girlfriend'' and after a few shifting eyes and not enough hesitancy they accept the girlfriend. Inviting her to Christmas parties, hospital children readings, church choir and on and on. She's made out of latex! LATEX!

Oh Hollywood. What ever goes through your mind?

Weather: I'm melting but wearing weather appropriate clothing this time.
Disposition: Internet deprived but not displaying withdrawal symptoms.
