The result is that I've more or less stopped taking the risk on watching something I haven't seen before. It's so easy to just watch something I know I will enjoy or get something out of, so I binge a TV show or I re-watch The Matrix or Snowpiercer or a classic that I haven't seen in a few years. I'd like to re-introduce 'movies that I haven't seen before' into my diet, but it's just not happening recently.
