I noticed a similar effect on my opinion about movies and books. I am extremely influenced by what I hear, to the point that a movie that I love when I see it for the first time is completely spoilt the second time if I heard a disparaging comment by someone I respect. The same thing almost made me stop listening to music. I've heard so many bad things about Houellebecq that I know there is no point in even trying to read his books.
This sounds like I can be easily influenced, but it may also be that I am more conscious of these effects because I find it very important to judge things by myself.
- c00p3r 18y agoThere are two kinds of books and movies (in very simplified example) - which are the art, and which are just a stuff for sale. The first ones are good for you, because they are altering you in good way. The second are annoying and damaging you like primitive direct advertisements (some kind of hypnosis). The first ones is the fresh food for your imagination, the second one is some kind of poison. Just make your choice what to see, read, eat, or drink. =)
