so iv recently noticed that when I love a movie or series, like really love it, ill put of other things which I know I will like because I don't want to fall in love with them yet because i'm into something else so I'll wait till that excitement and love for the other thing has settled before starting something new...anyone else have the same issue?
shareI really could only make sense of the first sentence. After that, I had no clue of what you meant.
So to recap:
When you love a movie or series, you will put off other things that you like because you do not want to fall in love with them yet?
You will then wait for the excitement of that other thing has settled, before starting something new.

If that is what you were trying to get across, it seems like you just like to organize what you like. If you mean that you finish a movie/series, before its intended time, which would only happen if it were not longer airing; there is nothing wrong with that. Who puts a time limit on how much you can watch a day (well, nature I guess, if you have to sleep and take bathroom and eating breaks)?
I still do not get your post though.
Neither do i😒
shareOkay so, firstly I'm terrible as fuck at explaining stuff, and this is quite complicated since I'm still not 100% sure myself, but the base line is I put off watching movies which I know I will like because I'm still into another movie and I don't want to get into another movie while I'm still into another movie in fear that it will overshadow it or replace it when I don't want it too? I think? Its really hard to explain and I'm just wondering if anyone else has the same kind of monogamous approach to movie watching.
shareI get you. Just a little bit overly convoluted on the explanation.
You feel watching a movie is somekind of relationship. And by watching another movie while still watching that movie you have commited an act of cheating. Like cheating from a spouse.
That's kinda makes sense.
What I can't comprehend is why would somebody do that?
I mean, I'm like watching Moana on tv and while it's still playing, I then open my tablet and start watching Frozen on Netflix. That's just... unusual?
I know its really unusual which is why I came on here because it is strange so asking a large audience to see if anyone else is the same, and tbh I don't really choose to do it this way it just kinda happens, and that's mainly because when I watch a movie/series or whatever I want to be excited to watch it and I find it hard to be excited for something when i'm still really into something else if that makes any sense. It could just be me wanted to make the best out of something I enjoy a lot as well, which is why i'm here to see if some one else is the same
shareOkay. Let me try to figure out what you're saying here... Is it...
1) You're watching a movie on tv, then you flip the channel and start watching another movie? Or...
2) You're watching a movie, then you start watching another movie on another device simultaneously? Or...
3) You're hooked on a tv show and between episodes you watch something else? Or...
4) You just watched a cool new movie and you like it so much that you want to savor it and analyze the heck out of it?
Whatever it is, you should really work on your punctuation and grammar...
Leia, I was trying to figure that out too. Here's my answers to all.....
1) You're watching a movie on tv, then you flip the channel and start watching another movie?[/b]
I've been there while watching tv. There are times when there's nothing that interests me and then you get a night when there are so many good things on that you have a hard time choosing. I eventually pick one thing and watch though.
[b]2) You're watching a movie, then you start watching another movie on another device simultaneously?[/b]
That sounds like someone with an extremely short attention span... something quite common these days with all of the devices we have.
That is something I would never do. I like to sit down and watch one movie or show with no interruptions or distractions. I shut everything else off and enjoy what I'm watching.
[b]3) You're hooked on a tv show and between episodes you watch something else?[/b]
If it's week to week, yes. If binge watching, no.
[b]4) You just watched a cool new movie and you like it so much that you want to savor it and analyze the heck out of it?
I can understand that. I usually do that when I have read a good book. I need to wait a while before I can start another book.
I should have replied to the OP, but like you, I wasn't clear on what they meant so I responded to you.
The OP wanted to know if others did whatever he/she did. I hope this answers the question. LOL!
Haha, no problem. I might as well answer them, too...
1) Sometimes, but I rarely actually sit down and watch tv anymore. Usually I just record shows and watch them on my own time.
2) Nope. The overlapping sounds would drive me crazy.
3) I definitely do, and don't really feel bad about it. If I binge watch, it's only 1-3 hours at a time.
4) Sometimes I do. It depends. I mean, I won't avoid all other forms of entertainment, but I'll take a little while to think about what happened, possible plot holes, etc.
defiantly NO.4 out of them, unless the other three where for the poster before taking about Frozen, and yes I know my punctuation/grammar/spelling is terrible, if I had a dollar for every time someone pointed it out i'd be a rich person indeed
share"and yes I know my punctuation/grammar/spelling is terrible, if I had a dollar for every time someone pointed it out i'd be a rich person indeed "
Then you could hire a tutor to help you with that problem......
I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I just wanted to be able to understand what you meant. It helps when you can put your thoughts together and explain something in a simple few sentences the way Leia did in NO#4
Anyway, now that it's cleared up, I feel that if I have seen a great movie that has moved me emotionally, I don't feel that I'm "cheating" if I watch another film a day or two later. I may want to see something different in order to get the "taste out of my mouth" or I may want to watch another film along the same mood as that first one
I watch many movies during the week. I have a huge library of movies. Over the weekend I'll watch three a day depending on my moods. I also have ROKU. I love all of the choices. No way do I feel as though I'm "cheating".
See I could never watch more three completely different movies in a single week (well unless they're complete shit I wont mind) but as in good movies that I want to watch never, I enjoy them to much to waste watching all three in a single week. And I spent 7 years going to a special Dyslexia school as a kid just to learn to write, which also meant I missed a lot of normal English lessons on grammar and punctuation, then when I got to high school/middle school I was put in bottom set English where we didn't even have a teacher because they thought non of us where going to pass so it would be a waste of resources so from there out everything was self taught so I could get the grades to go to Sixform then University. And i'm an unemployed art student, I have no money for a tutor when I can barely afford to eat.
sharePlease try to write short sentences.
Space them out with line breaks.
Just like this.
Even when it feels hard, you will improve with time. Ganbatte!
No offence but that sounds a little condescending, I can still read and write, certainly good enough to get the grades to go to University so I think ill be okay x
shareI'm sorry. I did not mean to be condescending at all.
I just want to help everyone, including myself.
So that I can easily understand what you were saying because honestly I can't.
Once again, I'm sorry. I did not mean any hostility.
I see you do not need my help, just please disregard it.
They were all to you. The previous poster talking about Frozen and Moana was trying to figure out what you meant as well.
If that's the case, then yes, I understand.
If i think better on what are you saying,excidium,i felt the same thing when i've been on the premiere of the final chapter.I've waited 5 years for this movie to be released,in such way that i found myself comment the entire movie out loud,despite the other people around me😉
shareI kind of do the opposite. If I do not get into them movie I am watching, I will keep it for later and do what I need to do first. My go to is always facebook or other things and then when I feel I can sit through THAT movie again, I do so.
shareI think I get your point and I have experienced a version of this phenomenon. Like if I binge a couple of seasons of Game of Thrones, I would not be inclined to watch a Lord of the Rings or Hobbit movie for a while after.
Sometimes it works the other way -- I recently watched a series called "The White Queen" and will soon watch the sequel about one of her daughters , "The White Princess". Afterward, it's a fair bet that I will end up rewatching "The Tudors", which in turn is about her son, Henry VIII.
I get what you mean, if its something similar or in the same universe then I'll go a head and watch it, like I sometimes spend a few days watching a movie franchise with one movie a day
shareYeah I get what you mean. When I'm really into a show or a movie that I've just seen then I want to stay in that certain atmosphere, I want it to linger until it fades away. I think not many people understand this, but I experienced it often that I fell so much in love with a movie/show that I dreamed of living there, being part of it. So my mind kind of stayed there for a while.
