Millie Bobby Brown right now: hi winona, did you forget I had a livejournal

[gimmemoarjosh]

You might have to explain this for some of the children we have here. 😆

How we have literal teens/early 20 year olds here, I will never get it.

It is okay guys, you can comment. We really aren't that scary. 😈

Millie Bobby Brown says she doesn’t watch movies:

“I don’t watch movies. People come up to me and say, ‘You should definitely watch this movie, it would change your life,’ and I’m like, ‘How long do I have to sit there for?’ Because my brain and I don’t even like sitting for my… pic.twitter.com/yIftu8QPWK

i am a huge cinephile (hopefully not a pretentious one though!) so i also worry about this. my siblings and i all went through phases of working at our local movie theater when we were teenagers so there was like a 5-6 year period where i never had to pay for a movie. i still love going to the movies and have amc and alamo passes since i tend to go at least once a week; usually more like 2-3 times a week when oscar season rolls around.

when i watch movies at home i usually put my phone across the room or in another room so i don’t get distracted, though. i am finally seeing someone soon about potentially having adhd lmao.

speaking as someone with absolutely garbage taste in movies, "pretentious" as a pejorative has lost so much meaning bc so many people will apply it to anything they haven't heard of. for some people, listing any foreign film in your top 5 is enough to get you marked as pretentious. fuck 'em!

Last week, someone mentioned that there's a segment of the population that thinks anyone reading a book in public is pretentious. How have we gotten to a place in the timeline where a simple thing like READING is considered to be a negative and snobby thing?

"Pretentious" and "overrated" are now used as synonyms for "things I don't like."

That is a good idea, seeing someone. Because I just plug my phone into the charger next to me and forget about it. 🤷‍♂️

Not judging. I just can't relate. And I definitely have an addiction to my phone.

I don't blame her. It's hard to get quality projects nowadays and we get so many more generic films that would be considered straight to dvd 15 years ago

One thing i noticed about my niece and nephews is how restless they are when they are not on a phone/tablet. The most common phrase that comes out of their mouth is “im so bored!!”, even if we are doing a fun activity

[funhouse]

fr i took my nephews on vacation this summer and we'd be doing stuff all day every day and they'd seem to have a good time then at the end of each day their mom would call and they'd tell her they didn't do anything that day 💀

[gimmemoarjosh]

But if they played Roblox for 12 hours, they'd probably not stop talking about it, right?

Oof! 🤦‍♂️

[bellwetherr]

boredom is essential to healthy childhood development tbh! like my kids are gonna need that period to figure out how to self-soothe and self-entertain. because we can't just move them from toy to toy to toy every 5 minutes.
