  • I’m going to address the “remembering” part of your question a bit more since if that improves it improves the other parts.

    I too struggle with names and memory in general at times. If you google a bit there are many techniques to help anchor names to people. What works for me is imagining them together with someone else with the same name, associating them with some other memory, etc.

    So maybe see if that’s something you can experiment with?















  • I get what you’re saying but film critics don’t rate for enjoyment or suitability in some situations but for the quality of the film.

    The Cannes film probably is objectively better as a work of cinematic art and worthy of the 9.2 score whereas your lazy Sunday afternoon flick is a 6.8.

    If you’re feeling lazy and don’t want to think much then pick whatever because that critic rating says nothing about the enjoyment value of the film.

    It’s like restaurants. No-one is going to argue that a Michelin star restaurant isn’t a more refined experience than the pizza shop down the street. But 90% of the time you’d prefer a pizza. But celebrating a 40th birthday, let’s go fancy.
