If you follow Mark Malkoff's example, the best way to get people to notice you is to stay at home and watch Netflix movies all day, every day for at least a month. That's what Mark did and then Netflix invited him to visit their Los Gatos headquarters, introduced them to their CEO Reed Hastings, had a special screening of the video documenting his movie marathon and then declared the day "Mark Malkoff Day!"

Other people are noticing, too:

There's Mashable.

And The Consumerist.

And The Huffington Post.

And Hypervocal!

So if you thought you had to go out into the world to make a name for yourself, don't! Stay at home! Turn on your TV! Watch it constantly for at least a month! People will love you for it!

Congratulations, Mark!

Your "Netflix Challenge" has been featured by The Daily What, The Huffington Post, Vulture, Neatorama, Laughing Squid and TIME! Today you were even tweeted by the Tribeca Film Festival!

If you keep this up, we're going to have to challenge one of our interns to read as many articles about you as he can in one month! Strangely, we think the record right now is about 252... just like how many videos you watched! SO WEIRD.

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.

Our favorite comment of the day comes courtesy Mark Malkoff's YouTube Channel, where user "JeVa9XboXtag" (try saying THAT five times fast) thinks that Mark's current undertaking of trying to watch 250 movies on Netflix streaming in one month is "easy as shit."

To which we say:

Dear JeVa9XboXtag:

Ever think to yourself, "Man, eating chocolate for the rest of my life would be pretty easy." Only, if you DID eat just chocolate for the rest of your life you would get sick of it after day three, maybe even sooner. And you wouldn't get the right nutrients so your muscles would atrophy and you skin would become pale; your eyes would take on a gray haze. Your brain would become foggy and you would get distracted easily, but be too sluggish to react to anything in a real, constructive way. Then your friends wouldn't want to hang out with pale, tired, sluggish, easily-distracted you. Your girlfriend would give you an ultimatum: "Eat some vegetables or I'm leaving!" But you're a man of your word and if you promised yourself that you would eat nothing but chocolate for the rest of your life then that's what you're going to do, dammit! And then it turns out that the rest of your life eating nothing but chocolate isn't very long anyway since you're malnourished and broke (you can't focus so you can't work) and lonely (your girlfriend's gone, dude). So now you're dead. And all because you thought eating chocolate forever would be "easy as shit."

So yeah, JeVa9XboXtag. There is such a thing as "too much of a good thing," man. RIP.

Guess.

You have to guess which of these comments on our Facebook page is our favorite comment of the day.

As you know, Mark is trying to watch as many movies in one month on Netflix streaming as he can, and he needs movie suggestions! Today was "classic comedies." Tomorrow is documentaries. Friday is 80's day. What should he watch??? Remember: It can only be a movie available on Netflix streaming!
