HAVE I REALLY FINISHED NETFLIX?
However, with vacation and staying at home becoming the new order of the day (at least in my case), I'm struggling to remind myself that I shouldn't get bored.
And why is that? I decided to get a Netflix account.
Now, why would you do that, Ann? Just read a book. You talk about books ALL the time. I know, I know. And you know what? You're absolutely right.
Let's call it 'research' into the peculiar characteristics of twenty-first-century adolescence for psychological analysis of modern teenagers. In short, I wanted to know what everyone around me was in raptures about!
I don't know if it's because I have a peculiar predilection for romantic comedies or because I'm not a movie person, but I've gotten to the point where I can't find any movie on Netflix I want to watch. I'm sure there are lots of movies I would like to watch—if I knew about them—but I honestly haven't found them yet, and I'm relying on my readers to help me out with recommendations.
And, in my opinion, at least, older movies are generally much more entertaining than those being made in recent years.
It could also be because I generally stick to watching rom-coms, and there are only so many ways you can spin the origin, progression, and evolution of love and relationships before the narrative becomes old once again.
I feel as if their themes and plotlines are overused and, frankly, exaggerated. Like the arthritic knees of a care-worn centenarian, these overworked storylines have lost their verve. They no longer possess the zeal for passionate activity they once had. They need to be replaced.
I'm sure you're thinking, 'Hey Ann, enough with all this gloom and doom already. Tell us about the movies you've watched and let's form our own opinions.'
There's no need to worry about that. I'll be giving a short two-to-five-liner (succinct movie review) of all these movies in my upcoming posts.
But, right now, hit me up in the comments section with movie suggestions. I'll be sure to tag you and do a review piece in collaboration once I'm done with it.
As always, I appreciate every comment or like on this page. Without my readers, the blog won't even exist. And that's the truth.
