I've talked about it here before...I don't watch movies. Never have.

You can probably count on 2 hands and have fingers left over every movie I have seen start to finish in my entire life.
I also dont watch fiction TV shows (though that is a later in life/adult development - movies even as a kid I didnt care for or have the patience to sit still for) ....or much TV in general. Now I'm not weird about it, if I am at a friends or family members house and they have a show or movie on, I wont leave the room or protest. I might even casually pay attention.

But it's just a weird concept to me.

The idea that someone else's creative imagination is not only so superior to my own but also so relevant to my life that I should gift my most precious commodity - time on this planet - to giving them control of my mental space and allowing them to create a "reality" or "ideal" for me to aspire to or care about.

I like reading and learning. I'll play a game where it requires input from me to develop the outcome. I like sports, because of the strategic analytics of it - not because I care who wins or loses. I just love the mental chess of a game with (supposedly) set rules and watching two groups of people pit wits against each other, and I love trying predictive analysis to guess what the participants will do.

Anyway - appreciate y'all indulging me typing that out, its a bit cathartic. @CasterTroy loves to give me shit about it...but not a movie guy.

Diehard in particular, Im familiar with and aware of the internet trope of 'is it a christmas movie or not'...but as best I can recall Ive never watched a single minue of it.

Im not a movir/TV guy either. In fact, we don't own a TV. I'll watch the occasional show or movie on my phone, but its been at least 3 months since I've signed into a streaming service.


Now I can get lost in a good book real freaking quick.

In other words, to good for "low brow" entertainment like a movie, but will watch people chase a ball back and forth for hours...

Yeah I will. But I dont care about the chasing of the ball, like most do.

I really like the analytics of - especially football - ok the D coordinator is playing an inverted 2 shell. Clearly the slot WR has been getting by the nickel all day and they havent taken a shot at it. Is the OC just missing it or is he setting him up. Then watch the next alignment and trying to predict if this is the time where he pulls the cord or keeps waiting.

And it's not that I think I am 'too good'...it's more that I really am fascinated by human motivations and dynamics. Fiction isnt real human dynamics. Its one human projecting his view of all humans onto a set of characters. Since no one is capable of thinking like another person fully, even those that try hard, when any human rights a script - they consciously or subconsciously interject either their personal views or their desired personal views into the characters and then the interactions are governed by their experiences or their perceptions of others experiences. It's incredibly flat.

You're a successful business owner

Intellectual

Emotionally mature

You have a vast amount of wisdom to share

And you're generally a great person to be around.

There's very few things I can genuinely give you shit about. Your smarter than I am, make more money, and are younger than I am. If you weren't so damn ugly, I'd really be super intimidated to even interact with you 😘

So when there's a softball lofted up in front of me and I'm holding a titanium bat....I mean I gotta hit that bad boy outta the park 🤣🤣🤣
