There’s a thing that people are doing that I can’t wrap my head round.
Seeing a movie lots of times in a row.
Like “I’ve just seen the Avengers five times”. Sounds to me like “I just spent enough time and money to watch five different movies on watching the same movie five times”.
Actually it’s not just movies, people do that with books to.
I don’t understand.
i’ve always been the sort of person who likes to watch things i really love more than once, or even things i don’t love that much. kids tv i’d have on repeat and wouldn’t care. even shit episodes, i liked the familiar.
but i just think people really loved the film and want to directly love it some more again. i dunno if avengers requires this because i haven’t seen it, but seeing it from a different angle/viewpoint can be cool, using the stuff you picked up the first time and noticing more. i guess they just don’t wanna wait til it’s out on dvd/bluray.
edit: you just replied to someone else asking why it has to be the next day? yeah, that i don’t know.
I myself am a rewatcher, out of personal habit. My dad always puts new dvds on pretty much on repeat. But in regards to re-reading books, which I think is a lot more widespread than rewatching films it’s because a) once you own the book, you own it and b) there’s a lot more to miss in a book that you’ll only get through a more deliberate re-reading.
Is there ever going to be an article written about internet fame that doesn’t start by mentioning Andy Warhol’s fifteen bloody minutes?
So, why does time fly by as you get older? When you are younger, you have more novel, new experiences. You see your mother for the first time. You learn your first language. Everything around you is new information. When the brain puts together these new details, they seem slower when you look back on them. When you age, your understanding of the world is larger. But because you are constantly surrounded by the usual family, school and experiences, details aren’t taken in so intricately. This makes entire days seem like fleeting moments!
According to this psychological diagram, if you turned 80 - looking back, the middle of your life will appear to be your 20’s!
Moral of the story: Do something new every day to make your life seem longer and richer.
It actually has to do with the concept of time. If somebody is in a 5 year relationship when they’re say 21, that’s a long ass time. But if you’re 80, it’s shortened by the longevity of your existence. That’s why if humans were ever able to be immortal, their brains would turn into mush: because when you live forever, years can go by in seconds, and an entire lifetime with someone would seem like a few minutes.
I heard once that most writers make up their best works based off of events that happened before they turned 16, and it’s because of this factor. You can remember everything when it’s all you had to rememberBollocks, I’m 17 and want to be a writer and I’ve done fuck-all to write about
Stephen King must’ve lived one hell of an early adolescence.
he did write a bit about his childhood in On Writing, from what I recall he mostly read comic books and got mildly bullied by his nanny
