While rewatching 'Avengers' or 'The Office' may feel nice, audiences owe it to themselves to have new experiences during this time, to expand tastes, and connect with new characters onscreen
trilogy may sound like a good idea now, but a few months from now you’ll find yourself hating hobbits, and emerging back into the world looking like Gollum. And no one wants to be a Gollum.
I’ve found that watching something new lessens the drain of social distancing and staves off the potential of going stir crazy. Now is probably the best time we have to clear up our streaming service queues, and watch all of those things we’ve been putting off. That three-hour award-winner? Give it a watch. How about that foreign film you were recommended that’s been sitting in your watchlist for the past three years? Give that a watch too.
There’s even an opportunity with this quest to watch new things, or revisit films that you haven’t seen in a while, to make a game out of it. Some have chosen to build watchlists of unseen movies based on a theme , while others have made it their goal to make their way through a director or actor’s entire filmography from beginning to end. There have even been a few Skype viewing parties hosted by some social media mutuals, a few of which have turned into RiffTrax style commentaries.
Another thing that can be helpful in figuring out what to watch is the app JustWatch, which allows you to select every streaming service you subscribe to and shows you what’s new on that service daily. There’s also a search option that allows you to find out if that TV show or movie you’ve been wanting to watch is streaming anywhere, or available for rental.
I think many of us will find this whole situation a lot more palatable if we give ourselves the opportunity to learn something new, to utilize our new viewing habits as a way to broaden our conversations, and if not gain inspiration of some sort, to at least make it fun. Deciding what to watch doesn’t have to be a chore, and it’s still possible to find comfort without watching
