If you're anything like me, you will watch a movie and then struggle to ever watch it again. There's something inside of me that bans myself from watching things more than once. Even if I think it's the best thing I've ever watched, I will never watch it again. However, I know plenty of people who do not have this problem
and are able to watch both films and TV series time after time.
But, for people like me, there is now a website which claims to cure all of our problems. Do you want to re-live the iconic moment that you find out Darth Vader is Luke's father? Do you want to re-watch
' death scenes again and again? If the answer to these questions is 'yes', then this may just take you fancy.
A website called 'Unspoil me' claims to be able to erase your memories of whatever
or movie you feel like forgetting.
The process, which has been launched by Samsung in correlation with the launch of their new TV, begins with the user having to confirm their age and agreeing to the terms and conditions of the experience. A video then begins to play which fulfils every stereotype there is about hypnotherapy: A soothing voice asks you to relax and look at a spinning spiral while they count back from 300.
The guide in question then takes you through the process in order to forget your favorite show. The hypnotist
uses the power of suggestion in order to try and make you try and forget the show that you have elected, with them asking you to remember how easy it is to forget things.
"Sometimes we forget to remember, it's another thing to remember to forget," he says, soothingly. "That's an ability we all share. Sometimes we forget a name. Sometimes we forget important things."
According to the website, once you are done with the 23-minute video you will wake up in the morning having forgotten your TV show of choice entirely. Meaning that, if you're that way inclined, you could just continue to re-watch
or Narcos for the rest of your life.
If you do fancy giving this test a go, you need to find 23 minutes of your day that you are able to spend on your own in a quiet room, as you're not meant to be disturbed when going through the hypnosis. This isn't the only time it has been claimed that you can be hypnotized from your screen. Back in 2009, Derren Brown tried to stick people to their sofas through
hypnosis during one of his shows. However, the results were mixed, to say the least.

Whether this actually works or not, I'm not too sure. But what I do know is that I'm going to try this out in order to try and forget the finale of Dexter. Not so that I can re-watch it again, I just want to forget how completely
awful it was.
