To solve that problem, I allow myself ample time to watch the movie. If I have to push pause and come back to it the next night, I do. If I fall asleep during it, I finish it the next night. (This happens a lot.) This new movie strategy has allowed me to get more movie watching accomplished.
Since Netflix does not always have the largest selection available on streaming, I've been snagging a few titles from my library as well.
Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey
About: Kevin Clash, the puppeteer behind the beloved Sesame Street Character, Elmo. Kevin develops a love for puppets early on and dreams of working with his idol, Jim Henson.
