Media that moves.
There’s something about sitting on the couch watching TV that gets me frustrated. There’s a term associated with the action that gets at it well: ‘Veg-out’ or expressed as a noun and fitting with the vegetable imagery: ‘Couch potato.’ When I find myself trying to switch off by watching a show, I get internally frustrated by the idea that I can feed my mind nonsense (a lot of mainstream media) and somehow be better off.
To be true, I don’t mind watching a show occasionally. Chernobyl, Stranger Things, Planet Earth and When They See Us have all been stunning shows I’ve enjoyed over the last few months.
S0 what’s the difference? Well for one - I’m in media, so I watch things from the perspective of a director and cinematographer. I’m soaking up narrative approaches and film-making perspectives and shot styles and moods. It’s a terrific learning opportunity...and a get out of jail free card ;)
But more importantly, for the part of me that is just watching for enjoyment, I aim to focus my energy on watching media that moves me. I don’t want to buy into the meaningless consumption of entertainment, and more significantly, buy into the lie that life is meant to be comfortable and easy and meet all of my needs. I don’t want to be the kind of person who can just ‘veg-out’ on the couch and dull my mind with media driven by cheap hooks and poor narrative. Media that encourages fake and distorts reality for the thrill of it.
