I feel like I'm the only person around who can watch stuff and appreciate what aspects I did enjoy without brushing off  the less than stellar bits.

Does everybody have a need to go to the extreme ends these days? It always seems to be "10/10 would lick god's polished nutsack because this movie is it" or, "-100/10 this movie suppossedly appeals to some internet memester crowd"

I understand giving reviews but good lord people have a stick up their ass about movies lately. Same with games.

You have a realistic sense of what's important?

STONE HIM!!

It's a new development for me. Not that I was ever super uppity on the subject before, but lately, I can't really seem to find a valid reason to either critisize something with so much vitrol or openly dick ride ride something into the sunset.

When I watch a movie these days I look at the moments I did enjoy. I go over the concept they tried to flesh out, either successfully or not. I look at the shots and the work that went into making it, and all the actors filling in their parts to the letter.

Such a complicated piece of work to pull together, even if it's arguably "bad" is brushed off so easily today, or praised far too much.

I've devolved my opinion to if it offered me a chance to escape or not immerse myself in a preferable fiction then it met my goal.

Movies are entertainment. Nothing more.

No. I found the first movie to be okay until all the forced humour came in, at least, what felt like forced humour.

I didn't enjoy the characters and I found the groot meme rather cringe inducing. Other than that it was a fun movie

I'm with ya on this one. It's always interesting to see other people's opinions on things I enjoy but at the same time I feel people are being super nitpicky.

Too me there are three grades a movie can obtain.

Fantastic, good, or downright shit.

95% of movies got into the good category. Decent movies that I felt lukewarm about. Most marvel movies fit in this category.

Fantastic movies are ones that fit into my favorites of all time.

Downright shit movies are just that, downright shit. Mostly indie movies or just poorly funded, but even then they can be fun. Toxic avenger and troll 2 fit here.


All this other shit is superfluous, you either liked it or you didn't. No need to break it down to its bare essentials to see why.

Jet what are you doing

stop /pol/e smoking my thread

this is thread is a fine example of why nobody on 4chan likes /pol/

Because everyone overacts the second they realize /pol/ isn't some redneck caricature and can back up their claims when pressed unlike it's critics? yeah I'd be pissed if /pol/ kept proving me wrong too.

That has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

Nobody likes /pol/ because they'll take a thread about how the OP doesn't like the reddit tier humor of guardians of the galaxy and find some way to turn it into a thread about how the diversity is code for white genocide.

Nobody had to reply, but if you press me for details of course I'm going to respond, I've made it pretty clear I can back up what I say.

But hey, let's just ignore Hollywood's obvious biases, it's not like they tried to elect a war hawk or anything:

People from this very franchise have an agenda that they push, and ignoring it for decades lead to the situation we're in now.

I mean you're really not disproving me when I say that this is why nobody likes /pol/. I'm not even talking about whether or not hollywood is trying to push white genocide or whatever, but here you are trying to make it about that.

The topic of discussion is provably being used to push an agenda, and they're making bank off of your ambivalence. You're free to pretend that nobody is trying to take advantage of you through entertainment, but I think it's a horrible thing that they're doing and you all deserve to know about it.

I mean there isn't any other interpretation here, you're ignoring people trying to manipulate you, and attacking people that remind you of this fact. Very Plato's cave.
