There's been almost no movies that have come out that I've really cared about, nor.most of my friends.

I've found TV shows to be somewhat more compelling. But it's been really hard to decide what to try to get into (limited time, partly).

But also the shared element isn't there like it used to be. There's just so MUCH stuff to watch, finding people to talk to about the stuff is harder than it used to be. That's good in the sense of having choice, but worse in having the entertainment provide a connection to people and talk about. Which was always one of my motivators to watch stuff.

Plus games and YouTube and other things competing, and fragmentation of where stuff is, and corporate plbullshit turning me off, I just care less about long form shows being put out.

But people are definitely still watching tons and tons of shit. "Consuming" and "binging" is bigger than ever. I guess it's just not us so much.

More stuff is switching to weekly rollouts and I end up not watching at all because of that.

There's nothing wider than binging a show then getting the last episode 2 weeks later.

Find a watching buddy.

Will you be my buddy

I would but then I would be doxxing myself on the account that I use for promoting my naked hairy balls and terrorism.

Fair enough.
