I agree with that. After my 30 day trial ends, I'm certain I will watch good movies again. For me as well, the positives outweigh the negatives. But I think the negatives are about 50 times more dangerous than I think you think
One question - what if your life was rich enough that you could do everything that you see in movies? Would the positives still outweigh the negatives (if some weird scientist would prove that there are indeed negatives of course) ?

Grab one of the masterpieces of Studio Ghibli or for instance take a look at IMDB ratings for some really good movies, and I assure you, you will be hooked to the last minute.=) |
No, as I said earlier, it happened with any movie, and I ONLY watch the best movies (in my opinion). It happened with movies that I loved so much I watched 3 times, and I still go back sometimes and browse through my favorite scenes, cause I love the characters so much they're like a part of me. Movies that have pushed me to make real breakthroughs in my personal development.
But as much as I loved watching, my body totally rejected the screen-watching experience, it couldn't endure it any longer. I needed to wash dishes, to do anything. And I wasn't watching for hours at a time - sometimes the tiredness would set in after just half an hour. If I were to dig for half an hour, or carry buckets of water uphill, I wouldn't feel so exhausted as movies made me feel. I never once felt tired since I stopped watching movies.
