Lol, most recently I watched 4 episodes of Law&Order SVU in a row, and a few months ago I watched all 12 hours of LOTR: Special Edition in one day. So nope, no problem here...

Part of it might just be diminishing attention span. I remember one of my teachers telling me that today's generation processes information faster, but has a harder time paying attention long enough to fully appreciate older works. So you have movie trailers today that jump around every half second that kids absorb like a sponge. But ask them to watch The Seventh Seal and it's all zzzzzzz.

Depends on the movie. If it's something I've seen before and enjoyed then no problem. Also, some movies are movies I that need to be watched from my comfy sofa. Other movies are movie theater movies.
