Alright, since it looks like we got most of our complaints/opinions about current music out of our system, how about something simpler?

If given the choice of only watching movies, tv shows or documentaries for the rest of your time alive, which one would it be? I'm not mentioning music or video games since the choice would be way too easy for some of you blip #126683. For me I would choose tv shows over anything else. Documentaries are very unlikely to catch my interest but there can be exceptions. Movies aren't usually my thing either since if I didn't like it the first time or had problems with it after a certain point why would I want to watch it again. Tv shows I can tolerate the most since if there's a few bad episodes I can just skip them (unless the show builds upon the last or some previous episodes so I'll miss context for how things happened)

    kind of a difficult one, honestly. not because I particularly love any of these mediums, in fact I think there's five, six of each that I've sought out to watch for myself in about the past decade*. every other thing I've ever checked out is because someone in the house wants to watch it as a group, or a friend on Discord wants to sync it on call. so, this choice has the effect of potentially fucking up my main social interaction situation.

    TV'd probably be the best option, at least then I wouldn't need to make up an excuse to not go to the cinema when I don't want to, "ahh sorry, can't. I have that curse, remember?".

    *my main "me" media has really always been "weird internet garbage", all the way back to when I was but a fry browsing the NG frontpage, excited to see the new part of there_she_is release. man, kind of shocking how little my favorite genre's changed since I was in elementary. sappy furry romance back then and it kinda still is.

    I would keep tv shows

    I don't want to seem like a douche, but, I have a problem with the question itself. You see, those are all categories of audio-visual narrative media™, and very similar ones at that, so giving up one of them isn't very different from giving up all of them.
    To answer the question, documentaries come in both tv presentation and movie presentation and are good to watch, but I need to be in the exact mood for it, I haven't watched one in ages, so not that one; movies are a big part of social interaction nowadays, but the good ones don't come out, relatively, very often and they're relatively short, however they can be life-changing and that gives them points, still probably not that either; many of my favorite pieces of media are tv_shows that I like to revisit
