I know I can watch “King Kong” or “Halloween” over and over again partly because I notice something new each time I watch those films.
If we’re defining “novelty” such that it encompasses literally watching the same movie over and over again, then maybe it’s time to step back and consider whether we need a new word, since we’re moving so far away from the intuitive definition of “novelty”.
