When brain-computer interface finally became reality, right holders and streaming companies will require you to hook in and let them wipe the memory of you watching the movie whenever they cancel your "purchase" like this.
I'd love to watch some movies for the first time again.
It's funny you say that because I have some neurological conditions that give me memory issues and about every 3 years sometimes shows are almost new to me. I might remember some moments, but a lot of it is just gone. I rewatch Stargate SG1, all 10 seasons like it's almost new every three years and it's really the silver lining to a crappy problem.
I think I might have this too... does the condition have a name?
Broadly, Idiopathic inflammatory-demyelinating disease, along with childhood head trauma that left me with things like aphasia and visual snow, and the effects of long term chronic pain from severe rheumatoid arthritis. CPTSD plays a role as well.
Ok, I don't have those things, just some memory loss. Wishing you well
Thank you and I hope you find the cause of your memory loss.
You can watch them for the first time again on the new streaming app which yanked the movies from the previous streaming app (and your brain) for only $29.99/mo!
