Starting new things can take emotional energy. If you're feeling drained for other life reasons, it's not unusual to just. have trouble taking on something new.

(If you don't go out of your way to mock something a buddy's gushing about, then you're not doing anything wrong. Okay?)

Same.

Not only that, but I’ve completely lost patience for... things my friends watch that aren’t that good? Especially when they’re like “ugh this show isn’t that good, why am I watching it, oh well I’m bored I guess I’ll watch another episode...” and... I wouldn’t say anything out loud but internally I’m just like... ok? So stop? You have the ability to find something better? There’s a whole world of actually good media out there!

[(Anonymous)]

I think one thing I lost in the pandemic was new media. Because I'm not someone who can just sit down and binge movies, or binge longer tv shows (I'm a bit better with anime, but has still mostly been watching stuff I'm already familiar with).

I understand there's a reckoning going on with the movie theater structure, but the fact is I never would have seen this movie if it had happened earlier in the pandemic. Because that would force me to watch from home.

A different problem you're having, OP, but I also have weird feelings attached to this movie that have less to do with the movie (though it made me bawl, don't get me wrong) and more to do with media consumption.

(For the curious, I'm getting evaluated with adult ADHD, which might have to do with all of this)

[(Anonymous)]

So I really enjoyed this anime (and still need to catch the movie) but I feel you re: emotional investment and what not.

I tend to have a lot of fun catching movies that are part of something I'm not familiar with -- for example, I ended watching some movie for BNHA/MHA with a friend (who was familiar with the show -- i am not -- as a matter of fact I only know like 4 characters because they've been added to my rotation/fic lol) and we spent the entire movie cracking jokes and sort of making up a history for some villian (I called him the BDSM villian because of all the leather harness/latex shit he had going on) and it was HILARIOUS. SO I do recommend going into somethings blind. If it's silly enough maybe you'll enjoy it :D

[epicurean]

Yeah, I can somewhat relate. Starting something just doesn't feel the same for me now as it used to be.

Maybe, at least for me, it's because I don't really have anyone else to talk about it or enjoy it with. Not to go all grandma here but at least back in the day I could watch something, join in the community and find tons and tons of fascinating essays and stuff in a single space as well as fangirling with other people. Not saying fandoms didn't have the usual negativity, of course. But you still felt part of a community. /tl;dr

That said I did start KnY and it's a good series, OP. Barely on episode 6 and have already cried like 3 times but it's really worth the watch, IMO.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you secret maker!

I've been glad reading other people's responses. It's been comforting to hear other people have been dealing with this sort of experience from different angles too. I don't have a lot of fancy words, but I'm glad to hear from y'all and I hope that we all find new and fun stuff to jump into. :D

I love it, OP.

[sparklywalls]

It was marketed terribly. I'm saying this as someone who did love it because it was the love-letter to Gothic Romance/Horror that I was expecting from the stuff I'd read about it beforehand. But a lot of the ads that your average non-cinephile non-book lover were encountering made it look like it'd be a lot more action-packed with the ghosts taking on a much larger role. In the UK it was released near Halloween as well, which I don't think helped the perception.

I don't think it deserves the slating it got because for me, it did what it said on the tin but maybe not the same tin some other people were expecting. I'm glad there's more people out there who enjoyed it though and indeed found it scary if that's your thing!

[(Anonymous)]

I liked it, but I suspect that a lot of people wanted more straight up horror and weren't expecting the gothic tropes and heavy symbolism.

[(Anonymous)]

I loved this movie! I watched it with a friend and thought it was gonna be boring based on the trailers, but it ended up being right up my alley (my friend hated it though and felt she had been misled).

[sabotabby]

I loved it but I'm not a big horror fan. I'm all for Gothic Romance and it did it flawlessly. But I also knew what I was getting into.

Just here to say that image had me staring at it for a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what the heck I was looking at. There was a "ooooh, that bit is the BRA" moment.
/also, yeah, don't get the appeal of a panty-shot, esp. since the appeal seems to be catching sight of something the wearer isn't actively trying to show you and that makes things far too on the skeevy side for me. Now, someone TRYING to appeal by DELIBERATELY showing a flash of underthings? That, that I can get behind.

I'll confess I've always had a pretty weak cringe threshold when it comes to embarrassing situations and yup, it only gets worse as I get older.
