    Too many people make watching shows and movies their whole personality.

    There is more to life than just consuming content from Hollywood.

        Or don’t watch stuff made by massive companies. It’s all just made to sell. It’s a product not art.

        Find small independent artists and studios and follow and support them.

      Movies are pretty fun! If you stick to indie films or what’s shown at film festivals, you really get to experience great art. I can’t speak to Hollywood movies though, but I watch some popular action flicks now and again like John Wick or Planet Terror (2007).

      Also try non-American movies, it’s refreshing to see different povs to similar themes circumstance. I find that niche old movies are pretty awesome too, but you have to dig for gold unless you go with a trusted review source.

      Lastly if you’re having a bad time with movies avoid most things made by Amazon, Netflix etc. I find their most of their writers or directors seldom have any artistic vision beyond just copying what’s been done before.

      No. Shared media is an excellent way to expedite and condense communication.
