My roommate loves to remind me that every morning when she wakes up I\u2019m watching something new. Ever since I was little, I just had an appreciation for seeing scenes being acted out on the screen. From the colors to the acting itself, it hooked a younger me into a world where anything can be what you make of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s so many movies I\u2019ve seen that I&#8217;ll ask my friends if they\u2019ve even heard of, and most of the time, they haven\u2019t. And what sucks is I tried to get my roommate to watch my favorite movie and I couldn\u2019t freaking find it anywhere. What do you mean no streaming service is showing Silence of the Lambs? I\u2019m offended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve always been more of a movie person rather than a television show kind of person. Sure, I could watch an entire season of Dexter in one sitting, in a single day, but once I turn it off, it\u2019s not coming back on for a while. There\u2019s just so much to watch, so many movies to pick from, that it\u2019s hard for me to sit down and finish a tv show. Now that I\u2019m thinking about it, I don\u2019t think I ever have actually finished a show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started watching the 100\u2014never got through season six before it got taken off of Netflix. But hey, at least I got to finish all the good seasons, I heard the ending was trash anyway. As for my favorite show, Teen Wolf, I never got past season five. I just put off watching it for a while and then never picked it back up again. It\u2019s been over a year since I\u2019ve watched any of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Movie series? I have no problem whatsoever finishing one. Actually, the other day I decided to rewatch the Hunger Games for no reason other than simply wanting to. This morning, while I was getting ready, I finished the first movie. After I finish watching them all, I plan on rewatching Pirates of the Caribbean, and then maybe Harry Potter. Every year it\u2019s all the same\u2014I watch the same few movie series that I really enjoy, even if I\u2019ve seen them all a hundred times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone always tells me that I would appreciate a tv show much more since they can incorporate a lot more detail over the span of seasons and episodes. But I just don\u2019t have the patience to watch an entire series as fast as everyone else. I\u2019m on the season three finale of Dexter, where I\u2019ve sat for about two months, and so I likely will finish the series about this time next year. Till then, I\u2019ll stick with my never-ending quota of movies that change genres everyday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guys, I genuinely love movies so much.
