Had a week where every movie I picked was a 2/10

Last Tuesday I sat down to watch a new horror movie people were talking about. Turned it off after 20 minutes because the acting was so flat it put me to sleep. Next night I tried a comedy that had good reviews, but the jokes fell flat by the second scene. By Friday I gave up and rewatched an old favorite just to get the bad taste out. Anyone else ever hit a streak of duds like that and just have to step back for a few days?

a 2/10" got me thinking though. Maybe its not the movies themselves that are bad, maybe sometimes its the mood we bring to the couch and everything just bounces off wrong. I had a stretch like that last year and later realized I was just tired and grumpy from work, the movies were fine I was the problem. Took a week off from watching anything, went for walks instead, and when I came back everything felt fresh again. Not saying all those movies were hidden gems, but the brain can get picky when it's worn out.

Have you tried just watching something you've already seen and love to reset your brain? That always works for me when I'm in a weird movie watching funk.
