What are the red flags beginners miss in Movies as a beginner?
I tried this in Seoul with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. This is more useful on a tired weekend than on a perfect day.

I would start with the thing that already interests you, then branch outward by creator, era, or theme. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.
- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.
Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. For me it came down to the conversation.
