Had you lived inside the European Union (for import/export tax reason), I would've happily bought them for you. 😀
You still can, even though our DVD regions are different. :😛: Or you could buy an Australian copy and send it to me. You know you want to. I'll pay you back in pizza. 🙂
That's one of the reasons why I like it. Non of them are 'good people' by any means, but they're interesting to watch and study. :3
Don't get me wrong, I like grey area characters, but I have to like them - even the ''bad guys'' - or I just have no interest in them.
Game of Thrones is a prime example. Cersei is such a b.... but I love her. She's one of the ''bad guys'', but she's not wholly bad. And Tyrion. The Hound. Baelish. I could go on. Characters don't have to be 100% good or evil for me to like them, but if I don't like them, or love to hate them for being deliberately evil - hello Joffrey - I just can't watch.

Yeah, I totally get what you mean.
Breaking Bad is a bit of an acquired taste in that sense. It's literally filled with villains whom operate on selfish desires, rather then necessity (like they do in GoT).
But in a way I find it interesting to see how that all develops. The transition from lame teach to infamous kingpin has been very interesting.
Not a big deal, of course, but I used to be the first person to get in line for the new releases, watch a lot of TV, play video games, watch all the current ones and catch up on the older movies...you name it, I watched it. I was really no more busy than I am today - I had a full time job, and still went to college and helped the family ... so nothing much has changed in that way, so what's up with that?
But now, I feel like I just don't have time, I get bored easily, too distracted when I try to sit down and watch something, I can't sit still...
To top it off, my NY pal gave me access to their netflix, hulu and myplex accounts so I have all the TV and movies I want, at my disposal....How kind of him to allow me such access to his accounts (FREE!) but I just can't seem to get around to even try to watch something or when I can squeeze in the time, I get so distracted and bored I feel like I am just wasting it...It makes me feel bad that all this is at my disposal and I am not using it.
I used to watch All My Children religiously - for about 20 years. I found myself getting over the fact that it was cancelled. I thought, eh, it's over, one less show I have to record. Now, it's been revived online and I watched 1 30 minute episode, and haven't bothered to watch any more. Seriously, if there was one thing I MADE SURE I DID, I watched that day's episode of All My Children...but now, I don't even care about that, lol!
Does this sudden disinterest and 'eh, whatever' attitude come with age? Is this a mid-life crisis phase I am going through? is it ADHD? Is it because I found a grey hair and now it's just downhill from now on? LOL
...and so it goes...:idontknow:
I have been there myself. Lost interest in all things entertainment. I was in a really bad place in my previous relationship mentally. I used to fall asleep on the couch before the movie was over all the time, or I would get up and not be able to stand sitting through dribble they call movies-felt like you said ADHD. I go through spells now where nothing can hold my interest. I am in a bit of one of them right now actually. It's usually my subconscious trying to tell me to do other things with my life instead of waste it watching crap.:oh: Most of the time now I watch documentaries then at least I feel as if I am learning something from my time spent watching videos.
I lose interest in TV and movies because they are usually a passive experience. When that happens I need something else to feel fulfilled, but it is difficult to work out with what.
If I had cable I MIGHT watch on occasion....but more than likely not. The computer and games are my entertainment for the most part. Not much of a current events kind of person but I can browse random topics for hours; you can be certain nothing learned is ever applicable in real world standing but its the idea of greater knowledge!
No, I doubt it comes from age because I know some "older" people who are still addicted to television (and some of them to movies as well).
I used to watch it as a kid. Starting in high school I completely lost interest. I still like movies sometimes, and occasionally I will watch television, but my main technological distractions are my phone and the computer (and I'd argue the computer is far worse than television, as far as bad habits go).
I admit I do like watching some TV as wellalthough getting bored of them as well. In the summer I decided to get rid of cable and go internet only since I do have Netflix account.
Shows I do watch are Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, The Big Bang Theory, Anger Management, How I Met Your Mother, Family Guy, and Robot Chicken
On my days off I admit to watching Jerry Springer and Maury Povich for a few laughs but even now I get tired of watching the same thing each time.
The older I get the less I am interested in TV/movies etc. I don't know if it has to do with depression.
I've come to the realization that most TV and movies are ultimately quite empty and unfulfilling, whereas I used to watch things religiously as an escapism, and really emotionally invested myself in it.
With this realization, I've also found a newfound joy for it, strangely enough, because I can just appreciate it for what it is; not that big of a deal. I've also found more love and appreciation for more artsy and philosophical films when I'm in the right mood. Or more quirky comedies/indie movies. Maybe you should try watching different stuff to reinvoke your interest. Above all I think you shouldn't force yourself to watch movies and TV and think to yourself that you're depressed or crazy for not wanting to otherwise.
