things to do in lew of watching films:
-cry about how difficult it is to interact with the real world.
-write in your journal about it in order to guilt-trip the friend who put you up to it after you die.
-write melodramatic essays about it for the same purpose
-go to art shows and museums and be astounded when the pictures don't move
-spend the time you would be at the cinema in video stores.
-go on a shockingly unsucessful date, and then brush up on finger puppetry
-consider going on one of those, 'i'm a loser, so i have to go fnd all of my ex-girlfriends and find out where it went wrong' trip.
-finally sit down and read that inpenetrable deleuze book you put down six months ago
-become heavily bearded
-watch bunny rabbits from your front porch in the freezing cold. imagine that it is porn and a cold shower at the same time.
-fall for the one girl you've met in over a year, who blows you away with the line: 'i could watch the same movie over and over again for the rest of my life.' find out that she is more reclusive and psychotic than you. write a list of films that will save her from her horrible fate.
-program a synthesizer, and forget to save.
-take despondent pictures of yourself on your camera phone. make a flipbook out of them.
-go to bars alone. flash a flashlight through your empty glass, imagining that you are tony conrad, and you are writing a stage version of the flicker.
-try to find a fucking bathroom in goddamn wicker park! i dare you.
-apply to art school. yes, hurt your mother real bad.
-beg your mean friend to let you watch an opera on dvd. neglect to tell her it was directed by bergman
-become really needy with a another close female friend. ramp it up until you have to have an unecessary "the talk"
-go see the new haneke film anyway. there. you cheated.

It sounds like you are planning the small and big things in your life too much - That takes away most of the time for living (Am I in the right track?
