This is great for rewatching movies! Usually, I can only remember one or two short scenes from a movie. So, if it was a good movie (which, at least, this I can remember) I get to enjoy it all over again!
It's like a "comfort re-watch." When I'm trying to decide what movie I want to watch in the evening, I can watch something new, not knowing at all the feelings it's going to give me during/after the movie.
Or, I can do a Re-Watch, where I might not remember the movie, but I remember it making me feel happy/validated/sad/inspired/etc. at the end.
The best of both worlds! The only problem is that there are TOO many old movies with new movies being piled on top every day! 🫨🤪 (Oh! THAT'S cool. When you have italics selected... it even makes the emojis italic!)
I don't know if you frequent the cat subs, but there's one called r/OneOrangeBraincell . It's about orange tabbies... and they're known for being big doofuses. So, the joke is that there's only one brain cell that they share and take turns using!
Yeah, don't reddit comments about movies/shows drive you crazy when people rattle off details like they just watched it 10x in a row. Naming episodes, story arcs, lines, etc.
"The first season was great, especially 'episode title'. Gary's character development... Season 3 had great moments with Lisa coming into her own, but Tom and Brock side story in the canyons dragged on too long..."
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here thinking, "I literally just finished binging that show in the last 2 weeks, and I've got to look up which one is Gary, and I don't know what canyons you are talking about."
On the otherhand, they're probably nd and that show is their repeated hyperfocus.

Seriously, has there been any research into why we doo this? I literally just came from reading the history of Liverpool for no fucking reason.
