I have a theory as to why I may not be watching movies as much as I used to. It's really simple.

To watch movies I need to suspend disbelief. That may be happening automatically.
To pay attention to real life, I need to suspended belief.
At least that seems to be true, more and more.
Let's say all that suspension in my mind, however it happens, is taxing my available faculties. Ergo, cut down on movies, because I'm going to need it for the unbelievable stuff going on all around me.

ai: From a cognitive science and psychological perspective, the short answer is yes: it generally requires more conscious, cognitive effort to disbelieve a statement than to believe it. Decades of psychological research suggest that the human brain is wired to accept new information as true first, while rejecting or questioning that information requires a secondary, active mental process.

The sad thing is there are so many movies available at the push of a button.

In the NY metropolitan area, the sunset last night, just prior to the incoming nor’easter, was so spectacular that it was highlighted independently across multiple news sources.

Our top story tonight: A Sunset. And rightly so.

"If you haven't already, take a quick minute to like the video and subscribe to the channel."

It's not so much bad grammar as a sign of careless editing. "Haven't" wants a past participle, and "take" is present tense.

If you haven't acted already, take ...

Cataphora is always awkward.

“YouTube: How does ai "go rouge"...”

I dunno. Maybe it orders the operators to paint the server cabinets red?

I have a dozen movies I rewatch from time to time. I never watch movies made after about 2016.

Check out In Harmony (2015) also titled En équilibre. In French with subtitles but you won't mind.

Closed Circuit (2013) is my most frequent rewatch. A romcom disguised as an action picture.

NPR therapy today, sure enough, there was Nikole Hannah-Jones at the microphone. And I was right: Listening for about 10 minutes to her describing in great detail 𝙃𝙚𝙧 experience and 𝙃𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 at her daughter's terrible educational experience and the 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 that She is going through agonizing over it. The Big News is: She's still not sure what the right choice would have been. Yes, Ladies & Gentlemen, in case you haven't yet recognized it, America's schools are still hotbeds of segregation and prejudice.

Meanwhile, the host was cooing and re-affirming all of this, marveling at the moral strength, the courage N H-J has to confront all of this disaster with such a steady and dispassionate hand, sharing her post-mortem of the experience so that we can all learn from it.

Astounding.

Lots of discussion about movies in the past few months. I appreciate the recommendations. I don't think the commenters have mentioned my favorite genre: Horror
My three favorites are The Conjuring, Hereditary and The Babadook.
Any suggestions for a good scare, folks?

Also good!!!
Gambit is a 1966 American heist comedy film directed by Ronald Neame from a screenplay by Jack Davies and Alvin Sargent from the original story of Sidney Carroll. It stars Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine, with Herbert Lom, Roger C. Carmel, and Arnold Moss. The film follows a thief (Caine) who enlists a chorus girl (MacLaine) in an elaborate plot to steal a priceless antique bust owned by multi-millionaire Mr. Shahbandar (Lom). It was nominated for three Academy Awards.

Eva Marie म्हणाले...

Hereditary, excellent but horror is too scary for me.

“Rouge vs. Rogue: People often misspell the fantasy character class or a renegade/defiant person (rogue) as rouge (the makeup/color word).”

Duly noted.

Olson Johnson is right! म्हणाले...

Eva Marie-
Agree, Charade is a great film. No spoilers, but after one has seen the movie, re-watching is fun cause one sees all the plot twists and double-cross betrayals.

john mosby म्हणाले...

My two favorite films are Blade Runner (the original theatrical cut with the hardboiled voiceover) and The Commitments, a cinema-verite treat from about 1990 that chronicles a blue-eyed soul band in pre-boom Dublin. The latter features a young Glen Hansard z''l. CC, JSM

L. 627, a French film, also cinema verite from about 1990, chronicles a narco squad in the Paris projects. Made me get into law enforcement. CC, JSM
