Why do you have to be surprised by your entertainment?
You re-watched a movie which you found again enjoyable despite being a predictable experience now.
There are other metrics on which do judge entertainment or even art.
- imesh 7y agoI certainly judge it that way. I can't stand rewatching a movie and I really can't stand watching a movie that is predictable. I beleive this is related to my personality type though. Maybe it's an ADD thing?
- Wordball 7y agoYou don't need an excuse for either of those, that seems pretty normal
- dkonofalski 7y agoI'm not sure why you're getting voted down when that's a perfectly valid point. I watch GalaxyQuest, Terminator, Jurassic Park, Robocop, Fight Club, and other films almost every year. They're predictable to me but I still find them to be fantastic films with a lot to say and they help remind me to look outside of myself.
- Zelphyr 7y agoYour examples prove my point. Those are all wonderfully creative movies (not sure about Robocop since I don't remember it much) I never said I wanted to be surprised. I said I wanted creativity which is something I personally find lacking in many movies these days and especially in the comic book movies.
- dkonofalski 7y ago>I never said I wanted to be surprised This is probably why the parent was getting downvoted. I blew right past that and conflated surprise with unpredictability when they're, arguably, not the same thing.
