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

I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I’m planning on watching Bo Burnham’s Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn’t really intending to wait checks watch nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a rewatch.

Anyone else treat certain pieces of media similarly?

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.

Alivrah,

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.

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.

AtmaJnana,

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.

elvis_depresley,

Cowboy Bebop (the anime series, not the live action), sadly only one season exists.

Today,

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Love it, but i can’t watch it too often because it’s so exhausting.

Thorny_Insight,

Not that I’m stopping myself from going back to it too often but for being such a popular song, Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz somehow has managed to not lose it’s magic on me. I never search for it but every organic encounter in the wild stops me on my tracks and sends chills down my spine. A true masterpiece.

Also shoutout to the Marcus Layton & Nonô cover.

The Orville, Fresh Prince, and Firefly.

Been watching these three shows for many years; still haven’t seen every episode of any of them. One episode every few months/years is enough for me.

I fear for the day that I finally finish one of them.

breakingcups,

The Shield, what a ride.

cmbabul,

Goodfellas, it’s my favorite movie ever and I want to keep the wonder of the first time I saw it alive as long as possible

I’m not even a WoW fan, but as a gamer I appreciate the sentiment.

Varyk,

I replay Morrowind maybe every few years, and I’m able to enjoy it every time I play.

As for movies, I saw barbarian in the theater and I have waited to watch it again even though I loved it, until just last month when I reunited with an old friend who loves weird horror movies, and it was so good. We actually watched terrifier also, and I hadn’t seen that in a couple years. It was so much fun to watch those movies sort of fresh with someone I knew would enjoy them, there were parts in both movies that surprised me again.

Ehhhh, to a limited extent, Christmas movies. But it’s only partly so it doesn’t get diluted, it’s also because they’re kind of meant to be something to make the season a bit happier. They don’t work as well outside of the holidays, so why bother?
