I really like the experience of a movie, show, or game that I am experiencing again after a several year gap. I get to look forward to the big unforgettable plot points and see how the details build to them, but some of those details are fuzzy after so much time. I get to still experience the ride even though I know where it’s headed in the end.
This is a great description. Exactly!
I just re-listened to the Bobiverse audio book for the 2nd time, and whilst I remembered the general plot, it still felt fresh as its been 5 years or so since I first listened to it. Such a great series.
If you’re always stoned when watching then you’re getting the same effect too
Part of me is legitimately looking forward to rewatching all of my favorite movies and TV for the first time in my terminal years. I can’t be the only one who wants to see The Return of the King again for the first time.
But eventually you only watch the pilot every time because you forget. Everytime.
