These days, selecting a film to go and see can be about as difficult as trying to calculate equity release on a property: there are so many options to choose from, especially if you live in a big city with multiple cinema complexes.
You will find that on any given night, you might watch a whole range of current and not so contemporary movies at a variety of different venues. You'll be able to choose between period dramas, cult classics, foreign language productions and, of course, the blockbusters of the moment.
While this enormous selection should, in theory, make the business of deciding what to watch a whole lot easier, in reality, it only complicates matters. The diversity of the options can be paralysing: you find yourself vacillating between potential candidate films, unable to make a decision.
Because of this, it is often a good idea simply to make an arbitrary decision. If you are finding it impossible to select one movie over another, close your eyes, circle your finger over the schedule and go to watch the one on which you land.
Often, when we are spoilt for choice, decision-making becomes a real problem. Sometimes the only way out of this kind of scenario is to place your hope in an arbitrary procedure. Don't over-think the options; simply go with the first possibility that comes to hand.
