There was a prolonged period of time when I almost didn't watch movies at all. Perhaps a movie in two months or so, but definitely not on a regular basis.

So, recently I've decided to check out what good and new stuff is out there and for the past few weeks I've been watching a movie in a day or two... and it feels... like a lot! I feel way down compared to few weeks back. Less energy, less confidence, harder to make decisions, brain fog etc, etc...

This kind of surprised me. You can't feel it (so much) after one movie, or if you watch them, say, only on weekends or so, but if you do it regularly it really brings you down. It also sucks you into normie mindset. Even if you recognize all the propaganda bits and such, it still changes the way you think. It's not immediately recognizable, but bit by bit, little by little it does its dark brainwashing job even on those who are aware.

Seems to me there really is something dark and energy draining in today's mass entertainment. It's not just harmless pastime like it might seem to be. It's brain rot.
