These movies are so well regarded and spoken so highly of (ok - maybe not Blade Runner); their champions are so passionate and enthusiastic, every time I hear folks go off on how great they are I get, once again, excited to watch them. But every time I try, I just can’t get into them. 2001 is a particular slog with its ~30 minute intro of no dialogue. It almost inevitably puts me to sleep before even the first word is spoken.
I hate that they’re so well regarded and I really want to enjoy them but I just can’t get into them.
Fishing. I live just miles from world class surf fishing. And even if you don’t want to make that short trip there are tons of amazing fishing opportunities just outside my front door.
The learning curve is just too steep. I know I’d enjoy it if I got good at it but the learning curve is just too steep and I can’t make it to that point where I have that positive feedback loop and get addicted to just the hope of catching something.
