I hateeee when I’m on letterboxd and look at reviews and see someone say something like ā€œthis is so unrealisticā€ ā€œthis would never happenā€ ā€œwhen [insert] happened I immediately was taken out of itā€ā€¦. It’s a movieeeeee!!!! Sit down to enjoy the media, not to critique every little thing that seems slightly wrong about it… obviously there are exceptions but LOL do u know what I mean

i’ve been waiting for this one bc when i saw Wonka in theaters (first of all, it was amazing) there was an elderly man behind me who the E N T I R E T I M E was screaming that the movie was unrealistic i was cracking up because it’s such an odd thing to say about a magic man who flies and makes chocolate but ultimately it made the movie viewing experience extra excellent

Why do you come to a repertory screening at a movie theater to talk through the whole thing… damn you to hell!! Furthermore, people who laugh at anything remotely weird, uncomfortable, or provocative in a film… I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove but part of the human experience is sitting in discomfort. Not to be the laughter police because there is humor in absurdity, but I can’t stand people laughing at everything just because it’s ā€œweirdā€ and they don’t want to seem like they condone the message on screen.

Art criticism has its place but nothing stinks more than recommending a movie to someone and them saying ā€œbut it has a low IMDB ratingā€ā€¦ maybe it’s just ahead of its time. maybe it’s misunderstood. Maybe it’s perfectly low brow.

I really hate when people say ā€œyou should watch this, it’s so goodā€. Maybe it’s my natural oppositional defiance at play, but any time something gets hyped up, I want nothing to do with it. So I just finished watching Challengers, and yeah. It lives up to the hype. But I’m glad I came to that conclusion in my own terms, makes it easier to see a piece of work for what it is, without the influence of too many opinions.
