Monk cannot watch another snatch of "Reservoir Dogs" because he is taping "The Fabulous Baker Boys" for later.
Yeah, you can see that he has fallen big into this movie thing.
Funny, too, do you remember the issue about what should Monk do during that restless but wasted time of the night before bed? It is actually looking like these movies are the answer to that, after all - just to kick back and let an old movie wash over you.
But now he has to think about buying another batch of tapes. He only has four blanks left.
One wonders how long this will last though. He has over two dozen Comfort TV tapes, and now that that fad is over, he does not know what to do with them. Having made them, he does not want to throw them away, and it is not like they no longer have any use. He has even more porn tapes from those days when porn collection was his biggest enterprise, dumping all of his money into that. So many tapes!
He feels a little bad about these tapes and is tempted to just throw them away, which would also have the salutary benefit of clearing up some room. As it is, hating to throw things away that he may regret losing later, his collection of tapes will presumably grow another big box-full.
Neverthemore, I am thinking this movie thing will stick and will not be just another fad.
What is most perplexing is that it took so long for Monk to come to this movie habit. It is so basic, like figuring out that you like to breathe air. Maybe it took the latest physical decline in energy to appreciate movies more. He used to think of watching movies as a brain-dead activity that is most fit for mental boobs. But now he sees that this is his speed.
