Sounds like someone who never watched House of the Dead in theatres.

I'm often very enamored by camera work, type of shot and things like how they translate certain things to film with limited options.

Especially when it's Drama related and has to do with heavier emotions or things like disorders and other issues.

But usually i'm just a: "watched movie, had fun" kinda guy.

I watched a stoner movie a while back about some guys that got stranded in their van and hotboxed their asses back or forward(can't remember) 30 years...as an avid non drug user i had fun but i did think it was a shit movie tho.

I get you bro

Honestly, that is what matters. There's something to be said about "cinema" versus "movies" lol, not everything needs to have mass appeal to be good, but I think a lot of people rate things high even when they hate it and that's bullshit.

This used to be me. I enjoyed pretty much everything I watched. I figured, since a lot of people put a ton of time, effort, and money into making a film, it must have at least some redeeming qualities. No one trusted my opinion on films because I "loved everything."

It wasn't until I watched a ton of movie reviews from various reviewers that I started to be able to tell the difference between a good film and a bad film. Now I'm pretty critical of films, and even made a review blog to discuss what I like and dislike about certain films.

That's why I watch video essays that are longer than the actual movie and explain why it's bad instead of watching the movie

Yes. This is why I hate movie critics. Your PhD in post romantic Spanish literature does not qualify you to make a determination if the power rangers movie was good or not.

So we're going to ignore the assholes that talk in the theater too huh?

Dude just watch the room and you will get it
