how i determine what to watch

I previously recommended to wait 'till the platforms announced what projects were leaving, then out of those projects, look at the ones that are on your watchlist to give them priority. Generally you could end up having a diverse array of movies to watch for the month. I have like 2000+ movies I want to watch on a list. I frequently find myself overwhelmed because of this. I figured out another way to determine what to watch. I put them on one of those sites where you can put a list of things for sweepstakes and just let the site choose. As long as it's on a platform, I'll watch. Just watched Wizards (1977) this way.

how i decide to watch things

I see people feeling overwhelmed due to decision fatigue. What I do sometimes when it comes to watching movies or shows, is add it to my watchlist, then wait 'till the platform announces that a certain project from said watchlist is leaving in order to watch it. I do this 'cause I find it brings me a diverse list of projects to watch, that if I had there in perpetuity, I would've never touched otherwise. It's simple but helps me into actually clicking on things I've been meaning to watch. It's a good way to take advantage of your subscriptions too. That way, I feel like I give it enough use instead of spending an hour on the platform undecided and then logging off due to being unable to make a decision. Here's some things that were leaving Netflix in my country to show you an example: About Time (2013). Brokeback Mountain (2005). Christine (1983). Step Brothers (2008). The Social Network (2010). The Terminal (2004). Whiplash (2014). World War Z (2013). All these movies, except for the last one, I'd never seen and like I said, it's a pretty diverse array. Even if not all of them are masterpieces, pushes me to actually do something with the content I say want to watch.

Accidental film motivation

My letterboxd watchlist fits perfectly into a single screenshot, so for aesthetic purposes I am honourbound to watch something on it to take it off before I can add anything else. This has actually led me to watch at least One movie so far!!!!

remember Palestine

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

hello

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
