    I’m the exact opposite. I struggle to get through 90% of movies regardless of how good people think they are, especially since they only keep getting longer and longer.

    Hell, the only movies I can get through are the ones that are so bad they’re actually interesting

      Congrats, you’re sane. Most entertainment media is objectively bad. That’s just statistically undeniable. Unless you think everyone is a good writer and storyteller.

        Just want to let you know that I enjoyed watching your edits update in real time

        Also there’s something to be said for taste. Some people just want action and flashing lights, an exciting distraction from life. Other people (I include myself) want interesting and well-written stories that make you feel and think. Part of the problem is that major production studios don’t want to take a risk on a new kind of story or writing style and keep pushing out whatever formula they’ve recently seen get sales. Marvel is a prime example. Almost every movie feels exactly the same, except a few characters and personalities change.
