No

I should say 'mostly no'. With the advent of YouTube though I do find myself cheating by reviewing scenes or occasionally rewatching a better film if it happens to come on TV not because I went to rent it. I've rarely reread a book. I took this point of view prior to seeing Terry Gilliam's paradoxical stream of consciousness film 'Brazil' when it first came out. I felt that I should suspend disbelief so wholly that my experience is as close to the discovery in the real adventure known as life. That if I knew I would let myself see or read something again that it will inhibit the depth of the experience. I pretty much adhere to this and rely on my memory to piece together aspects of the story I may not have appreciated in the first and hopefully last viewing. Like life. First, last, now, forever.
