When was home bored/recovering spent a lot of time watching movies and shows.
Only it wasn't my shoulder, it was my foot so was stuck laying down or reclining with my foot elevated.
Got a internet connected Sony Bravia TV that has Sony's movie rentals, and bunch of other movie and series sources, some free, some pay, TV itself did netflix, amazon, crackle, etc. It even had a channel that did nothing but stream funny youtube videos. It was like AFV without all the chatter, just the videos
Also have AppleTV, Cable TV, and a Mac Mini rigged up to stream movies to the TV.
Several movies and series were on Youtube for a short time and was able to watch them on the TV as well using the computer.
When I found a movie I wanted to watch then would find the cheapest place to watch it from. Sometimes it was Youtube or some other internet source. Sometimes it was Netflix, sometimes Sony, sometime AppleTV, sometime cables view on demand.
Aslo subscribed to a service like netflix but was all anime and watched a lot of those.
The important thing was to find the stuff without commercials. If there was more than one commercial I would fall asleep. So didn't really watch live TV much.
Also got an iPad and played all the Angry Birds and a few other time consuming games.
For the first 7 months they were putting a powder on my foot that was growing all the flesh back. During that time the nerves growing in was painful. Was on several different pain killers that I switched between and couldn't do much that required critical thinking.
The funniest videos were cats being startled. The funniest comedian was Ben Bailey. Humor was effected by pain killers.
Also spent time searchin on the internet and reconnected up with people I hadn't seen or heard about since High School and/or college. That was kind of neat to find out what they had done and where they are now.
Let's see some of the non main stream movies and anime I can remember are...My Name is Nobody, A man called Trinity, They still call me Trinity, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Captain Harlock space pirate. There is an Anime pirate thing called One Piece that I am still watching. It's on it's 18th season and still adding episodes.
