I can't watch movies anymore.

[Deleted]

I think I've been spoiled by television, which tells stories in like a third of the time. Can't help it, but I also can't help feeling like something dumber than Mildred Montag in Fahrenheit 451.

Don't worry, the fact that you were actually able to reference a specific character in Fahrenheit 451 definitely means that you're not.

But I know the feeling. It's not so much wanting a story faster, it's not being able to allow myself to set aside two or three hours like that.

I too have too short of an attention span to watch movies.

See, I'm the opposite. I find that the nature of television makes it difficult to get invested in most shows, as things like story arcs and character development are typically drawn out over the course of an entire series. With a movie, the entire story is told within 2 hours (or in the case of a series 8-10 hours). With a tv series, you're often looking at 50 hours minimum.

I always think to myself that I don't have enough time to set aside to watch a movie. But then I sit and watch 4 or 5 episodes of a show that ends up being more of a time waster than a movie.

I've always felt exactly the same way. I also feel like when it's a show that I've been a fan of for a while, I have more of a connection to the characters than ones I was just introduced to an hour ago.

I'm definitely more of a TV person than a movie person.

I'm the exact same way!

You can always pause movies at chapter breaks and watch in installments. No one says you must watch a movie in one sitting when you watch it at home.

Wow I almost started a thread about not watching movies a few days ago. For some reason I just can't get into watching movies. I been to a movie theater probably once in the past 5 years. It's strange because I see previews for things that look interesting to me, but I have zero motivation to take the time out and watch them.

It easier to watch movies in the theater than at home, for me.

This is me, though mostly it's because I don't want to remember when stuff is on. Usually I wait until a whole season is available before I dive in.

Depends on the movie for me, but this.
