Have you learned anything this week?

Asked by Trillian (21148points) April 3rd, 2012

I just finished watching a movie which I’ve seen on my Netflix for months. It looked moderately enjoyable but I felt like I was sick of gun toting, loud mouth alpha males, so I kept giving it a miss.
In the meantime I’ve started and stopped several very slow moving, less enjoyable movies which my (stupid) brain told me I would enjoy because of this or that reason but I couldn’t get in to.
This is about the fourth time this exact thing has happened to me with movies that I initially considered and decided against based on my aversion to the whole gun thing. The actual stories were pretty to really good, and the guns were incidental to the stories, not actually gratuitous. I realized that I need to go with my instincts and click the ones that first catch my attention. Learn to listen to the other part of my (not so stupid) brain.
It was like a light came on all around me, with an angelic choir singing an impossibly beautiful chord.
Ok, maybe not all of that, but still, an eye opener on an otherwise average Tuesday night.
Anyone else have any eye openers this week? Or last, I’m not married to this week.
