    I relate to you in that I’m way more likely to watch a tv show over a film. I think it’s that the barrier to entry is lower. 30 minute episode for me seems like less of a commitment than 1.5-2 hours, even though most times I do end up watching more than one episode. Anyways, The Holdovers is a movie I saw in the last year that I can’t stop thinking about

    @@juliaszabla8317 That’s the problem for me too! I tell myself I’ll just watch one quick episode, even if I end up actually watching two or three and taking the same amount of time (or longer) than a movie 🤦‍♀️😅 Thank you for the recommendation!!

    One movie comes to mind that surprised me by how much I liked it. It's pretty old and I don't think it's well known. It is called "Restoration" with Robert Downey Jr., Sam Neil, and Meg Ryan. This is one of those rare times where the movie is better than the book. I would recommend.

    In Spanish they're películas, in Latin pelliculae, and in some Tintin book «cet abruti [Tintin] m'a fait [a Rastapopoulos] gâcher de la pellicule».

    Hey Andrea! It's good to see you so happy, how are the cats? I would say 2 of my top 5 movies that changed my life are DUNE, the 1984 version, I tried to watch the new one but having watched the original so many times I have most of it memorized, I just couldn't do it, and Highlander, the original. Both of those were a large part of my Middle School and Highschool personality. Honorable Mention to the original Total Recall and Time Cop.

    J'ai vendu ma télévision en 2009 et j'ai rarement regardé des films depuis. Il m'arrive d'en télécharger un, mais la plupart du temps, il reste sur le disque dur de mon ordinateur pendant quelques années. En ce qui concerne les séries, je n'en ai vu pratiquement aucune, pas même Game of Thrones. Je suis très porté sur la littérature et celle-ci me prend énormément de temps. J'aime aussi les jeux vidéo pour leur interaction. Regarder une série ou un film me semble terriblement passif, et j'aime faire travailler mon cerveau. Thomas d'Allemagne

    I stopped reading for a very long time for similar reasons as I was reading books I didn't enjoy, now I only read books and watch movies that I'm actively interested in. Watching a TV series can be comforting if it's one I know well, and when the world is as it is there's nothing wrong with wanting to experience a comforting series. A really good movie that came out about ten years ago is Her, I rewatched in the last few months and I'm amazed at how it's still incredibly relevant. Hope you figure out yout movie watching! (If you want, no pressure)
