Call me crazy, but I think people voluntarily do things more than once because they like that activity. I'm no astro-physicist or anything, so don't quote me. |
No, it's because they haven't done a cost/benefit analysis and really considered the opportunity cost of watching a crap movie for the billionth time in some sad nostalgic pseudo-trip into their dull (but exciting at the time!) undergraduate days. |
What about the opportunity cost of the countless hours you've wasted on these forums trying to convince people you will likely never meet nor care about of your opinions?
I take it every single minute of your day is spent doing new and adventurous things? Certainly the life of an ESL teacher........... working to eke out a humble living, unmarried and creeping on poor women in SE Asia for the rest of his days (before I get flamed, I hope you all realize I'm half-joking).
People enjoy their time in different ways. Why watching films as a hobby would bother anyone is beyond me. It's foolish to call others out on it unless you really are wasting zero time in your life. It'd also be foolish to think that a film couldn't be a completely different experience when viewed again.
For example, I hated Star Wars when I first watched it at the age of 10. When I watched it again at 16, I LOVED it.
This is coming from a guy who almost never watches movies more than once.
*Hope I'm not coming off as an ahole. I like you as a poster H-E* |
