Do you have a hard time rewatching things?
- Thread starter CODE-D
- Start date
I can watch and read things again as long as I leave awhile between sittings. Games are what I struggle with, even a game with "Excellent Replayability!" like RPGs... I do almost everything the first time through, the same route and story with different dialogue doesn't interest me.
Nope, not at all...
Even with stuff I don't like that much. If I enjoyed it the first time round, chances are I'll continue to enjoy it and find new reasons why I like it.

Depends on the thing I'm watching. For example, I'll have a hard time re-watching a murder mystery, because I already know who the murderer is. However, if it's something like Scrubs, I'll have no problem re-watching it at a later date, because it's mainly the jokes that I re-watch it for.
If I really enjoy it, I can watch it over and over. I've watched Hot Fuzz several bajillion times - watch it until I passed out every night for WAY too long. If that counts as watching it, anyway, haha.
But also, if I really enjoy certain parts of a movie or television show, or what have you, I can watch it over, and over, and over, if I watch it with someone else who hasn't seen it yet. I get almost as much satisfaction gauging other people's reactions to things that I enjoy, as I do seeing them myself.
Seriously, I watched Avatar (in 3D, because god it was boring without it), in theaters, somewhere around 11 times with different people; simply because I thought the action scene at the end was fricking amazing, and I had to share it with EVERYONE!

I rewatched Inception a good number of times and still enjoyed it each time. Some things get tedious when rewatching them, like certain mediocre comedies, but if I like something I can rewatch it. Of course, there is a point where I stop. I try to stop rewatching something before it lessens the experience. I don't really know what that point it yet. Generally I don't have any difficulty rewatching things as I don't mind watching something again to introduce a friend to it.

No, not really I can't count how many times I've watched Star Wars the original trilogy [small](on VHS, I actually really like the weird grainy look of the VHS)[/small], Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings and Die Hard, so I'd say I have no problem rewatching stuff
Depends.
I'll rewatch Game of Thrones because my brother hadn't watched a particular episode so why not.
Plus, I'll rewatch video walkthroughs for specific areas if I'm having trouble.

I'm kind of the odd one, I guess: I have absolutely no trouble watching movies over and over again -- in fact, I'm pretty sure I've watched In The Loop four or five times; however, TV shows are completely different story, as I can't bring myself to rewatch a series I already finished because all the plot twists over the course of the series are already inscribed in my brain and thus I lose all interest in rewatching it. I don't understand why it isn't the same thing with movies, though.
No, I rewatch movies and series pretty often. Even twist ending movies continue to be entertaining, in spite of knowing the ending all along.
Not really, if I liked it the first time. A lot of times I DO rewatch things, and a lot of times I catch things I missed the first time for one reason or another.
Not really. Unless the subject material was just plain shit in the first place. it's usually more fun to re-watch stuff with a friend though.
i tend to re-watch a lot of anime in this regard. i'll usually watch a series, decide that it is good, then re-watch it with a friend at a later point.
i'll often re-watch movies a lot if they were really good, or if i'm stuck for what to do in my spare time and a dvd cover catches my eye from the shelf.
a lot of times i'll rewatch things just for the hell of it. over the last week or two i re-watched all of To aru majutsu no index because i wanted to refresh my memory of the earlier events in the series after reading the latest light novel.
i'm re-watching berserk because well, it's berserk. and also because the new movie series is more than likely not going to take very long to make the transition to english, considering that it's apparently already licensed.
I intend to re-watch Alien, possibly more than once, before Prometheus opens in cinemas. i don't think i'll find it any less interesting than the last several times i've watched it.
TL;DR: Honestly, there are just some things i'll re-watch almost anytime, except for consecutively after itself, or if there happens to be the option of watching something else i've never had the chance to see and really want to.

Depends. I don't thimk I'll rewatch Inception any time soon, but I absolutely lost count of how often I've seen Bloodsport.
