With all that is going on now. In every part of our daily lives. It is over whelming to begin with, no matter what you are doing. It is complicated because we are all different, but in what matters the most it should not be complicated as you need to just focus on yourself in what you are watching along with the ones you love.
I have watched movies in the past just because that was what people I was hanging around with in the past were watching but I quickly realized if it was disturning me in any way or would later I would just excuse myself and go outside and sit for a while or grab something to eat till it was over. Glad I did that, but I think alot of times we watch movies or tv shows because they are presented as one thing some times and depict something really disturbing you were not expecting and totally not what you thought. I think it would be nice if they would let us all know before hand and sometimes they do if there will be disturbing images shown.
Just try to know yourself and what makes you feel good and what makes you feel bad or anxious and just say no to the bad feeling and search out the good. There is not much funny out there these days with out something very gross or disturbing or alor of cursing or the obnoxious need to put in graphic sex scenes. I know they made many many funny movies in the past without all the filth and it could still be done but unfortunatley they are not doing that anymore.
As mentioned though sometimes you just don't see that scene or whatever it is that upsets one coming. Funny sometimes as I was recently watching the Incredibles 2 and there was a scene where the Mom was battling the villain on top of a plane and keep trying over and over again to get on top of the plane and it made me feel like I was trying to get on top of the plane too...it was like a roller coaster ride...weird but I did not enjoy that at all, while the movie was ok.
Same thing with commercials....one minute you are watching a funny comedy movie or tv show and you are laughing and feeling good then immediately there is a commercial for something upsetting or very sad to bring you right back down.
We are all different, just a suggestion to be more aware or as aware as possible of what you are watching to find what makes you happy and lifts your spirits and avoid as best as possible watching what will or may upset one in any way......hope that helps....
