I've decided to take a break from watching online movies. Although I very much doubt that this will be a permanent decision because I know I will be tempted back to them again; but staying away from them for a few months is the plan. It isn't that I'm ungrateful to have so much entertainment online; especially as so much of it is free.
But I do feel that it is just more of the same all the time. To be perfectly honest I just can't remember when I last enjoyed an online movie. I just seem to watch these movies as a force of habit.
When it comes to online movies for me it is a real case of too much of a good thing being bad for you. For the last four years, I have been watching back to back movies over the internet just because I can. This means that I can usually fit in around three or four films in a night. And by the time I get into bed, I have usually forgotten all about what I have just been watching.
Many people would say that this is a case of chewing gum for the eyes. Maybe they just don't make good movies anymore or maybe I've just seen too many of them recently. However I do know that I do not want to do this same thing every night for a while at least.
I want to enjoy movies again like I did years ago. Those were the times when a renting a couple of DVDs each week was all I could afford. Watching a movie then was a special treat. These days it is no more special then going to the toilet.
Maybe if I keep away from online movies for a few months the excitement will come back. Maybe then I'll be able to watch a movie and still remember what has happened after the credits have finished.
