I watch a lot of content online, but it tends to be podcasts and TV shows rather than traditional movies. It’s so easy to watch a series, and picking a movie can be a bit of work. Recently,\u00a0while watching a movie and remembering how much I enjoy the experience, (I think it was\u00a0Good Morning, Vietnam<\/em>), I decided that I should watch more movies. I took the stress out of it by reminding myself that I like almost any movie, so I could just pick anything. Now, I’ll look for a movie title anywhere, whether it’s from a recommendation system, searching for an actor, or remembering a\u00a0VHS cover\u00a0that I saw on the shelves of Blockbuster as a kid. Once I’ve found the title, I try to watch the movie without learning anything more about it. I don’t watch the trailer, I don’t read reviews, and I don’t even look at the genre. It’s so fun to start watching the movie having no idea what to expect. I’ll start watching and not know if it’s going to be a drama, or if the characters will end up going to space or back in time.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to music,\u00a0and I really liked one of the songs. I looked to see what was playing, and it was the soundtrack for\u00a0Moon.<\/em> I didn’t recognize the movie, but I decided to watch it that Friday\u00a0based on the soundtrack alone. It was a pretty cool movie, and I’m glad I didn’t know anything about it beforehand, because I think that made the story more interesting and helped to prevent me from guessing what was going to happen next. I later had a vague memory of seeing the trailer when it had come out, but I didn’t realize that until after watching the movie.<\/p>\n
