When I feel very bored, I go to the Wikipedia page of a movie that I do not intend to watch anytime soon and just read the entire plot write-up, as well as the "Critical Response" subsection.
That's OK. I want to get into comic books, but their information density is that of foam. I start to read and get bored. But I love the stories, so I just find a synopsis on Wikipedia or some other site and read it in prose.
