That’s it exactly. It’s really very easy. It also makes the stuff I like more emotionally peaceful when I’m watching it because I’m not trying to unsee or head-canon-fix stuff I don’t want.
I’ve done it for decades with films that are my very favorites. The sequels to Alien - never even considered seeing them. Jaws, also no way. Back To The Future, again no. Ghostbusters, still no way. For sure there are others I can’t recall at the moment. Those stories were perfect as told. I have zero interest in whatever came after.
