that you've seen so many films, that you have forgotten what actually happened in most of them?
Just wondering....
π
Definitely true. I remember details and scenes, but not always the full plot or how they ended.
Watching the new Twin Peaks really shows me how many details I forgot from the original, although I vividly remember certain parts of it.
But it's kind of the same with your real life. You remember that one special Christmas vividly like it was yesterday, you remember the smell and sound of the pine needles crunching under your feet hiking in the woods on summer vacation, you remember the best and worst times, but you don't remember every person you've ever met or every grocery store trip you ever made or every time you washed the dishes.
Well said, Kernel. You wax poetic.
π
What's there to consider? Obviously people forget stuff especially if a lot of time has passed. I do remember what movies I really enjoyed and those that I didn't. I generally do multiple viewings on the movies that I really loved. Even with those, I forget some things so I watch them again to refresh my memory. No big deal.

Oh okay then.

True film fans don't refuse to see any actor's films simply because they don't like his/her politics. That excludes you, nonmovieboy.
You recently on Mark Ruffalo because he said something you disagreed with: "He's apparently a racist asshole. I won't be going to any of his movies in the future.'
He's still a racist asshole, napshemorrhoid.
π
And you're srill not a true movie fan, nonmovieboy. BTW, to use your tactic, reported for name-calling.

Ooooooh. I'm scared roid! And he's still a racist asshole.
π
Don't give a rat's ass if you're scared or not, nonmoviefan. Just doing what you always do.
BTW...
And I'm still an asshole.
Fixed your post for you.
He's still a racist asshole.
π
And you're still just an a-hole, racist or not, and most definitely not a movie fan.

And he's a racist asshole, and you obviously want the last word.
π
Nope. Just stating facts about you, nonmovieboy

Talk to the hand, roid.
π
The hand? In other words, your SO.....

Whatever, Roid. He's still a racist asshole.
π
Uh-huh. Come back when you can actually come up with something that requires even a modicum of actual thought, parrot
share
Okay, his face looks like a potato.
π
You already said that about 6 times too, parrot. But keep trying. Maybe you could ask mommy for help, nonmoviefanboy.
Oh, and since your face looks like a wrinkled unwiped ass, I'd say Ruffalo's winning so far
He's a racist potato head asshole, and so are you.

Please keep in mind when posting that MovieChat has Community Rules, one of which is no flaming (i.e., insulting others).
This is an informal warning. We have a system in place where if you are given three formal warnings, you're out. Obviously we'd prefer to not do that, as you're a valued member of MovieChat, but please do heed this warning.

Okay, but did you also warn napsdufroid? He started it. Here's a quote from him above:
"your face looks like a wrinkled unwiped ass,"
I have reported this post.
π
Appropriate informal warnings have been given. Please scroll up. Or down, as the case may be :)
share"He started lt" Believe in technical terms, that's called a lie.
Your quote, way before I described your face:
"He's still a racist asshole, napshemorrhoid"
Then when I used your tactic and reported your post, your response was:
"Ooooooh. I'm scared roid! And he's still a racist asshole."
But you get called a name and you start crying and lying like a 3-year-old, "He started it..." When actually, you did. Nice try. FAIL.
Just keeping things accurate.
I think that I watch too many movies while doing other things these days. It's just too easy because of streaming. There are too many movies now a days to start, and there is no effort required to watch one. Going to store to rent a movie, or going to the theatre, usually meant that it was something that you wanted to see and you were willing to make an investment in the movie. If I actually go to a theatre I will remember it, but if I watch something on Netflix that is just on because I want something to watch, chances are I'm going to forget most of it.

Some excellent points, sslssg. As Bob Dylan once so poetically sang "Times, they are a changin'."
π
I was going to post something similar, Ssl. While the only other thing I do when watching either a movie or show is go to sleep, streaming does make it much easier to forget what you've watched, because there are so many options and it's easy to watch a lot of things within a relatively short time frame.
Add to this binge-watching shows, and it's very easy to forget details, or not particularly notice some to begin with.
It is true that going to see or renting a movie requires more effort -- and money -- so it makes sense that one's focus is greater under those circumstances than in streaming on Netflix, for instance. Most so in a theatre, because unless you're also on your phone whilst watching it, all of your attention is on the screen.
