Maybe it's the guilt factor.

You just know you shouldn't be loafing around sitting on the couch watching tv for that long.

You would have to get up off the couch, find the dvd, take it out of the box, put it in the player - all of that to watch the movie.

Whereas, if you were flipping channels and saw Wesley climbing the rope up the cliff wall after the princess and her captors and you got involved with watching it....

You could always make the excuse to yourself "I didn't mean to piss away two hours of my day - it's just that I happened to get wrapped up in watching a great movie. It's not really my fault. I was only planning on watching 30 minutes or so then get up."

I don't know the answer, and it's an excellent question.

The same phenomenon happens with music sometimes. Like, if you love the new Gnarls Barkley CD and you have it in your car, and a G.B. song comes on the radio, you might leave it on and won't miss a second of it, even though you can just play it CD-quality anytime you want.
