Traitors?

It’s not just you.
(I don’t have a tv.)

I don't either. I do watch stuff on iPlayer (Doctor Who, mostly!), but rarely. I'd sooner be reading a book than watching TV. (That's how I managed to read 250 books last year and have already read 17 this year!)
It's not that I think less of TV - my brain just prefers words to pictures for stories!

I watch quite a lot of old movies. 17 books! Congratulations! I am, alas, a slow reader though I also listen to talking books which ups my average.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not galloping through books! And audiobooks *definitely* count as books and anyone who says otherwise is an asshole and can get in the bin!
Ahem!
Which are your current fave old movies/old movie actors?

I’ve been revisiting the 70s recently. Gene Hackman brilliant in The Conversation and The French Connection. A crossover with Walter Murch, editor and sound designer of The Conversation so have also been watching The Godfather 1 and 2. Al Pacino marvellous. Jane Fonda is superb in Klute. You?

I haven't really watched too many, but I adored Roman Holiday and Bringing up Baby!
