My passion for movies and gadgets!!!!!!!

I have always loved watching movies. During my childhood days, i used to watch Rajinikanth movies like hell. I love him for the charisma and charm he displays on-screen. Since my father owned a cassette rental shop, i had the opportunity to see a lot of movies. I used to watch some good english movies as well - though i never understood most of the dialogues ;-).
Now coming back(or should i say forward!!!) to present, i have suddenly turned into such a movie freak that i have managed to watch more than a 100 english movies in the past 3 months alone!!!! All this started on Nov 18 '05 - the day when i bought my laptop.(Yes a LAPTOP. A Compaq v4118) . I love gadgets and laptop tops the list. I was so excited on the day when i bought my laptop. It had been my dream for almost 4yrs!!!!! The list of gadgets that i want to own is never ending. To name a few from the list - an Apple Powerbook, an iPod, a sony DVD camcorder, a high-end Nikon SLR camera, a BOSS home theatre, a remotely controllable home security system, a top notch mp3 player cum cellphone, a palmtop etc etc....
Actually my passion for movies increased many a fold after i bought my laptop. The excitement of watching a movie on my laptop is amazing!!!!! Initially, i saw a lot of average hollywood movies.But after i saw some 70 movies, i got fed up of these typical hollywood stuff. It is then that i started renting DVDs. I started seeing other foreign language movies like French, Swedish and Spanish movies among others. I used to browse thro IMDB.com for information on the movies and their cast. Every morning, the first thing that i do when i login into my office PC is to check out the review for some movie or the other on IMDB.
At one point of time, i saw 13 movies over a single weekend(that includes 7 movies on a single day). Some of my friends thought that i was really going insane. But trust me, I know what i was doing. I am not wasting time by watching movies. I am just spending time on my hobby. I am also using this as an opportunity to learn about the world of cinema. Now a days, I see to that i gain some knowledge about the world of cinema from each and every movie i watch. I find it really exciting to watch movies and learn about the history of cinema. I have also loved watching some of these movies. Some of my favourite movies in the current list of 100+ movies are The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redumption, Casablanca, Pulp Fiction, Somethings Gotta Give, The good bad and the ugly and Irreversible. I have developed this habit of maintaining a list of all the movies that i have seen since Nov 18th.
I hope that this new found hobby of mine continues for the rest of my life and i get know a lot more about movies.But at times i do have a feeling that i am getting a little too excited about watching movies and that i am not spending much time for my work or for preparing for GMAT. Maybe this new found passion will die down and i will come back to normal state. Maybe. Lets see.
