Whenever I feel like a conversation is not good enough or isn't worth paying attention to, I just simply skip that. Same thing applies to the people around me, a task, or anything that seeks for my time or energy. There are numerous examples but the thing that drew my attention to write on this is movie reviews, reviews that I usually write here on the hive, on Cinetv communities. Well, this post is not about movies or reviews, it's still a general topic that originated from there.

Usually, I watch a lot of movies and try to write about them. But I noticed one thing today that I just wrote about the movies that I have enjoyed watching, at least which were worth watching. It's not like that I have just watched these movies, or I pick them. Yeah, we do like to pick the ones that we might like, nobody would like to watch a flop movie knowingly. Yet, there are many movies that become flop from our watchlist, what about them? As I have said in the beginning, I just skip them. One thing to add, I don't skip them in the midway, I watch the whole movie, maybe there is something at the ending, and then if it doesn't meet my minimum expectations then I just avoid it and move on, even I lose the interest to write a review on that too, not even those feelings about how it went through the expectations and turned into a disaster.

So what happened is that I watched two back-to-back movies and could not gather enough energy and interest to write about them, they went below expectations so I just avoided any further discussion, full stop!

I cut off people in this way too. Well, on that matter I try to prioritize their deeds more than my interest. If someone's deeds aren't positive enough to keep them around me and I don't feel any interest and then there is no use in keeping them with me, don't you think so? Often the unnecessary people create unnecessary troubles.

Okay, let's get back to the origin, movie topic, about the flop ones, what do you do when you get to taste a disastrous one? Do you act like me? Avoid and put a full stop? Or vent out those regrets of watching by throwing out all the negatives as a review? From next, I might try to vent out those failed expectations in words, I just pray and hope that I don't talk shit about someone else's favorite ones, as we know that everyone doesn't have a similar taste, hehe. See, I already vent out some through this post, feeling good, impressive!
