I used to watch a movie literally once a day. Now it's been weeks since I last sat down to watch a feature film. I find myself sitting here, browsing this board, talking about movies, but not actually watching them. When I do watch something, it's just an hour of television. What's happening to my attention span? I don't read anymore either.

I hate what I'm becoming. I subscribe to Amazon Prime, FilmStruck, and HBO, but I think I have analysis paralysis, because even though there's tons of movies on there that I want to watch, I can't bring myself to actually sit down and watch any of them.

I give less a shit about everything the older I get too.

get a change of environment
go to a theatre (even though they suck ass) or someone else's house. read at the library or a park or something

I'm the opposite but the same.

I never watched a lot of movies or TV. Usually about an hour a day.

I have a huge backlog of movies to watch but I just can't commit to sitting and watching a 2 hour movie.

Meanwhile I have been on 4chan for 3 hours now.

I think it is that hype is dead. When is the last time you saw an ad for a movie and said "Wow this looks great, I can't wait to see it". When is the last time you felt that way for anything?

Not OP, but honestly?
An eternity.I think my last hype explosion was for DBZ's Battle of Gods movie. The inner kid inside me really wanted to watch it, so I got on a taxi to my nearest IMAX and watched that shit.

What solidified my lake of hype was when I got a job, which I enjoy honestly (though the pay's mediocre), but it takes up so much of my time and energy, I might as well be dead every time I arrive home.

Point is, only rarely, very rarely, do I ever feel any hype. However, I know I'll never experience my joys as a kid again, as the weight of the world is now on my shoulders, and it is time from now until elderly years to bear this burden. It will only get harder until somehow I win and retire early/regularly, or die. Either way, my life is but full of pain and responsibilities that take away from my experience of joy. I am but a shell of what I once represented.

Sorry I can't get excited for anything Anon.

I'll try to be excited for the power rangers movie for nostalgia sake but I can't promise anything.

What does intellect have to do with literally watching and trying to enjoy a movie? Do I have to be an analystic fuckwit dissecting a movie to enjoy it? Because I feel no joy in having to analyze a movie unless I make a career out of it, which is dumb.

I myself kinda enjoyed the DBZ movie. There.

Only out of pity do I feed you a (You). Piss off.

The ending of this video when Jim Davis says "Comedy is so subjective" made me laugh harder than I've laughed at anything in an extremely long time. Can you explain why? I'm genuinely not really sure why I found that so funny.

How does it feel knowing you chose a major for something a cat can do?

I bet you even tilt your head like they do to pretend you are in deep thought.

Pretty sure he's fishing for (You)s, pally.
I wouldn't sweat it any more than I did.

Anyway, hope we both find our hypes back someday. Hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you feel about the recent movies from 2016?

I honestly kinda hated the Ghostbusters movie due to how Fieg used it for malpractice instead of respecing the old Ghostbusters legacy. However, I'm a schlub for Scooby Doo 2 effects and humor, which this movie had lots of.

Sausage Party was terrible.

I kinda know that feel, the only way I can watch a movie or series is if I have something else to do while watching it. There are a few exceptions but usually I either draw, play some shitty casual games or clean my apartment or something.
