The amount of media we consume is a new development. Media isn't the baseline for attention span and learning. It's new s***, but not foundationally sound
This is why all those big Netflix movies can basically serve as background noise while you're on your phone. You don't even need to pay attention to get the plot and know what's going on.
Its f***ing disgusting.
People are becoming dumber f***s
SHAMEFUL
COOKED I SAY
COOKED!

I read everyday or almost every day

I said read a book
crazy how u can be on here interacting with people that cant even watch a full movie
They should have a little symbol by their username along with people who don’t have an internal monologue
When my anxiety is up.. paying attention to movies unless they are really really good is pretty difficult.
I feel this
Put me on dawg
It’s hard for me to rec out of endless options of films, what directors or movies do you like already?
My friend who is in the screen actors guild and gets screeners for new movies doesnt even watch them because she say she got tiktok brain. Sad
There's a chance you're not watching the right TV shows or movies that will actually interest you, I used to think I couldn't watch them without getting bored but it was just the stories and scripts were boring to me, if you find something that actually interests you will tell you how you really feel
I have no problem with my attention when i go to the cinema. But if im at home ive got nothing stopping me from opening my phone or playing bloons on my second monitor etc. But sometimes ill watch it without distractions, i think it mostly depends on my anxiety and how interesting the movie/show is.
FTR ive been diagnosed with adhd. I think that might have less to do with it than ppl itt are saying
Yeah I do that
Tell us what you been reading then
I don't think it's always that the content is good or nah. You can be a critic of bad media and still not be dismissive as long you consume it properly. Most media today values shock value and viral trend. S*** comes and goes so quick and there's a bias towards spoon-feeding viewers. The art of appreciating subtlety and nuances is dying

All the heavy hitters tbh. Nolan, Villeneuve, Tarantino, D. Fincher.
Kinda like that. If I’m not eating or watching it on my phone I’ll likely be on my phone at the same time. Rn step brothers and taladega nights came on and I’ve had my back turned to it on my phone
OP at the movies
LMFAO
