still get semi-excited for blockbusters now and again, but mostly I go in with low expectations. Have found that a lot of the foreign flicks that make it to US distribution are on average more satisfying to me (recent examples, just in the past month: The Hunt, A Hijacking, The Wall) than what Hollywood puts out.
Also try to prioritize older movies when I can. I love it when the museum here gets a good print of an old flick I haven't seen. That's how I discovered Pierre Etaix or Yilmaz Guney in the past year for example.

TV is good these days but I try not to watch it everyday so I'll watch 1-2 shows at one time at most. Have also cut down on sports a ton, there's just too much of it that's filler.
