Johnny one time


Part of world’s demographic that will never stop fascinating me – people who never rewatch films. Any films, even films they supposedly have lots of time for. I mean, what the hell. Is it like your favourite actor will not turn up this time? Is it like they will screw up the ending? Or is it that you are simply so clever you get it all after the first time?

And God knows there are films that should never be watched twice (most, of course, should have never been made in the first place). But the increasing number of people who grope like blind drunks for one title after another and never go back (despite the quality or the feelings that are stirred), is truly staggering. 

Interestingly, those are the very same people who can survive a whole week on a one-song diet.
