Mark Malkoff is averaging 13.5 hours a day of watching Netflix movies.

That's about 4 baseball games a day.
That's over 4 showings of Titanic with or without 3D.
That's approximately 13 loads of laundry.
That's about 6 world-record pace marathons.
That's a flight to China from New York.

That's a heck of a lot of movie-watching.

Do you think he'll watch Star Wars for Star Wars Day?

You can find out by following him on Mashable! Mark's entire movie schedule today consists of movies suggested by Mashable readers! He's live-blogging the day chatting AT Mashable! Follow him all day and it'll be just like you're watching movies with him! Except you're not in his apartment.... which is good because if you WERE in his apartment it would be kind of creepy! Except for that time that Jason London watched Dazed And Confused with Mark, because that was pretty sweet.

Okay, so AMENDMENT: Chat with Mark for movie day on Mashable and it'll be just like watching movies with him, except not in his apartment which would be creepy, unless you're the star of one the movies he's watching because then that's super-awesome.

Today we premiere Mark's newest video "Netflix Challenge."

Mark watched 252 movies in one month.

He gained 6 pounds because he practically never left his apartment.

When he did leave his apartment, it was to meet Andrew McCarthy so they could watch St. Elmo's Fire together on Mark's iPhone.

Dazed and Confused star Jason London came to Mark's house to provide live running commentary to that film (he points out that no one ever recognizes Ben Affleck in that movie).

Mark only did one bad impersonation of Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

Andrew McCarthy dumped Mark Malkoff out of a child's red wagon only once... as far as we know.

Watch "Netflix Challenge" and tell your friends. Maybe you guys will want to do the challenge, too?

Dear Lolo Jones,

To be honest, the only thing I know about the Olympics is the old Track and Field game for the NES, so naturally I did not know anything about you.  Fortunately, thanks to Daily Grace's Lolo Jones Song, now I do!

When I first heard about your story of the Beijing Olympics, I was inspired.  Not because you failed, but because you picked yourself up and continued to pursue your dreams.  This is how I believe all of life's hurdles (heh, see what I did there?) should be handled. 

Lolo, if you learn one thing from this letter, please let it be that no matter what you do in today's finals, you will always be the light in our Team Champions of Light. 

Sincerely,
Brandon

1. We're on Mars! The Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and has even sent back some pictures of the surface. Naturally the internet has responded to this important scientific news by making a meme, and following the Curiosity Rover on twitter.

2. Michael Phelps is now the most decorated Olympic athlete to ever have existed ever in the world ever. With approximately seven thousand gold medals, we can safely say that no one will ever swim faster than Michael Phelps. Unfortunately, he didn't get a medal in Dreaminess, because Ryan Lochte got gold, silver, and bronze. 

3. This weekend Roseanne Barr's Comedy Central roast happened. I'm sure people said mean things to her, and then also her ex-husband arrived so that was probably awk, but more importantly SHE GOT OFFICIALLY NOMINATED AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. 

4. Natalie Portman got married to Benjamin Millepied, who she met on the set of Black Swan where he was the choreographer. Since Millepied is a French citizen, Portman is now officially a citizen of France as well, and if the french try to take her away from me I don't know what I'll do. 

5. During an interview Mitt Romney said something to the effect of "I'm not sure London is ready to host the Olympics", which clinched him the gold in "Things Not to Say on Camera".

Ok guys, it's TVgasm Tuesday once again, not a minute too soon, too. I don't know if you remember last week, but…uh I got a little angry, and well maybe we both said some things that we didn't mean (mostly me, since you didn't say anything). Anyways, as an "I'm sorry for being mean via the internet", I decided to make this TVgasm about awesome things that are happening in entertainment news. Things that make me want to give someone a pat on the back. Ya know, wholesome stuff

This Week:

First and foremost, good for you Liza Minnelli. Thank you for returning to Arrested Development, that was a solid move. Most things you do are perf, but this trumps everything. I hope you can finally conquer your dizzies, and live your life in peace.

Hey Jay Leno, thanks for taking a giant pay cut on the Tonight Show. Granted you're still making 15 million dollars for having a large chin on camera, but what can I say. Four for you Jay Leno, you go Jay Leno.

Also, and this one's a big one, I want to give a pat on the back to every new TV show that's premiered for the fall season, because, hey, you are the reason for TVgasm Tuesdays, and TVgasm Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. Go read the review of all these new shows (be sure to catch parts one and two)

Remember: If you are even slightly literate, and know how to type (or even just shout words at someone), you can probably get a pilot on NBC in the near future.
