Well, OK. Have you really watched The Devil Wears Prada "repeatedly?" If so, why? I for one *never* watch films repeatedly so this is inconsequential for me, and if I did this film would not be one I watched again just because in the end it is pretty lightweight. The only art I consume and reconsume is music.

Yes, watched it three times over the period of about two months. Why? Because I had to.***The only art I consume and reconsume is music.
This is a tall statement that is hard to believe. How about architecture and paintings, sculpture? Poetry?
Buildings are encountered multiple times but I've never been particularly into architecture and mostly just walk in and out without deep reflection. That is also a form of "appreciation" or "consumption" based on accidental proximity and I don't go out of my way for it...even though I suppose I appreciate an interesting building as much as the next person. Now certainly there are paintings and other visual arts that I've appreciated more than once so in that sense I did overspeak. but it's nothing like the attention I pay to music. I do like poetry but don't read it so much and there isn't much beyond Rilke that I return to for repeated consumption.In essence my statement can stand even though it contained exaggeration. Just a personal thing as to how connected I feel to music.
