I can't really watch anything that doesn't have a clear arc or start/stop point. Shows are just too long for me. Last thing I liked was Over the Garden Wall which is just a sliced up movie. Love movies though so its not an attention span thing.

People ask me what I do and I cook a lot and draw and read books and kiss my boyfriend. IDK when I would even watch shows lol.

But I tell people this and they can't understand or get really weird interrogating me how I spend my free time. The happy version of this is some of my coworkers found out I really like dancing and now they ask me 'are you going dancing this weekend?' on Thursday or Friday.

What bugs me is when people are aghast that I haven't seen specific movies.

"YOU HAVENT SEEN ____???? OH MY GOD IT'S SO GOOD LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT."

None of the films that've been introduced to me this way were worth my time.

What if it were Mad Mad: Fury Road?

Oh god same. I've been told that very same thing multiple times (the last show I was told about this way was Succession) and everything I see and hear from it is just downright boring??

I got that experience over and over again about Game of Thrones and Rick and Morty. "THIS IS SO AMAZING YOU DON'T WATCH IT YET START HERE THIS PART IS AMAZING" and from the very start, and then clip after clip, what I saw made he despise each show more and more.
