Lemmy, is there a treasured piece of content that you stop yourself from going back to "too often" so as to not dilute it?

The book Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart. Maybe everyone has a book that’s just perfect for them. This one is mine.

This makes me realize that I have a huge list of things I should see/do, but have been putting off because I want to enjoy them at their max. Then I find myself never feeling ready enough. Some of the ones from this thread I’ve been meaning to check out for years:

• Inside
• Bojack
• the video “Leroy Jenkins”. I have no idea what it even means, but I’ve seen references to it for well over a decade.
• Halo: Reach
• ME: Legendary, I did download this one a couple years ago, so I’m further on it than anything else
• Firefly

Anyway, the ones I try not to oversaturate are the best episodes of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Particularly Charlie Work, which I’ve only seen once.

IT Crowd and Peep Show.

The dub of “The Touch” (from the Transformers animated movie) over the scene in End Game where Cap picks up Mjolnir

Definitely the band “Heilung.”

I refuse to listen to them outside of live at a concert. It’s old Nordic style viking goodness and the live shows are more of a ritual than a concert. When I go, I want a full immersive experience and I feel listening to them in between the concerts takes away from the experience.

Watched animes that I really liked. I plan to rewatch them every 3-5 years.

I do this with any new song I discover. When I first listened to Radiohead I consumed their albums like opioids, now I’m being more careful with The Smile, I listen to Bending Hectic once a week max.

Some books and mangas, but mostly the Ghibli movies. Specially because when I watch one of them, I immediately want to go on a full Ghibli marathon.

They’re beautiful.

They’re beautiful.

In which aspects are you finding them beautiful?

Don’t get me wrong I am not a hater whatsoever, but I started watching them with my girlfriend recently and I’m not feeling it completely, I only watched Spirited Away before and I have the same feeling.

We have watched so far (in this order):

1. The Boy and The Heron
2. Princess Mononoke (this one was my favorite)
3. How’s Castle
4. My Neighbor Totoro

The art design is top notch I can agree with that.

I do this with music… if one of my favourite nostalgia songs comes on and I’m not driving with the windows down in summer, it’s for sure getting skipped!

That’s some good discipline – good for you!

For me it’s Aliens. I hadn’t watched it in probably 15 years and did recently when the 4k version came out.

It was so, so worth waiting for. Watched it with my 3 oldest kids and it was their first time. Amazing time was had by all.

Edit: Oh and this song by Sylvan Esso. I listen to it about once every three months and get goosebumps every time.

I have read my favorite series only three times. I cracked the seal (figuratively) during a low point caused by the pandemic, among other things.

So glad I saved it. Now I probably wont wait another 20 years to read it again, but I’m glad I kept it fresh for myself.
