The Dude said:HOW am I supposed to escape this downward spiral of negativity? If I completely stop following movie news, how will I even know what's worth watching? Not to mention, I'll lose one of my favorite critics... 😢 Help me out here!
Hmm, I get where you're coming from in theory, but honestly? Not really. 😁
I actually love reading summaries about what a movie is about—and if it includes the full plot details, including the part where the butler turns out to be the killer, then even better. 😁
Then I decide it sounds interesting, head to the theater, and watch it as if I have absolutely no clue what's happening. 😂
I almost never find myself thinking, "Oh, okay, now this is going to happen," let alone judging a film based on the opinions of people who’ve already seen it and spoiled it for me. Knowing the plot doesn't ruin the experience for me at all, and there isn't any difference in how I watch whether I know the story or not... I just leave all my preconceptions outside the theater doors. 😁
I get totally lost in a movie, forget everything else around me, even if I already know the plot 😁 and just follow the action as it unfolds.
It's not like I trained myself to do this, either; it's just how my brain works...
Same thing goes for books. I'll read the ending first, then go back and take my time with everything that came before it. 🤣
