in around 2001 I was visiting a girl every couple of weeks, hanging out at her place for the day each time.
she asked me if I wanted to watch startrek with her, I said I didn't really watch it, then asked if I wanted to watch american psycho - I didn't know what it was, she described it - saying it was really funny and that he kills someone with a chainsaw. I just immediately guessed it was like texas chainsaw massacre, brutal and dehumanising, and refused.
later watched it alone a year or two after and liked it. later watched star trek more alone too.
a couple of other girls around the same time asked me to watch smallville with them, I didn't like what I'd seen of it so refused that.. some. years later watched most of it alone instead.
dunno how many opportunities for a more interesting and pleasant life I've thrown away but it must be a lot.
