I scroll through a list of “the 100 best [movie / tv shows]” and literally 99% of them looks boring af. Is life just this boring, or does my brain just suck?

    I have a hard time watching new movies and shows. I guess I usually look for a show to unwind with, and nostalgia is a pretty strong factor there.

    If I’m watching a new show with somebody because they want to see it, I’ll generally enjoy myself. But lately I find that I’m pretty quick to reject anything made after 2020 or so

    Another way I look at it is that there’s an awful lot of crap competing for my attention, and with the rise of gen-AI, writing for streaming, and other icky things, a lot of it really is crap. I’d rather watch the crap I already know I like

      Same, tho I do catch a bit of shit from the gf “sigh This again?”

      Meanwhile, I’ll hear her listen to the same song 5x from down the hall
