    I always rate entertainment based on how much I was entertained.

    I’m not a cinematographer, it’s not my job to look for fault, I’m watching stuff to be entertained. So if a stupid movie entertains me it gets high marks.

      I rate art on artistic merit. Movies are able to be either, much in the same way airport fiction is going to struggle when judged as literature and a lot of literature is going to struggle when judged by those who like dumb fun books. I generally dislike pulp fantasy, meanwhile it took me so long to get through the lord of the rings in high school, but it still lives rent free in my head in my 30s.

      Same. Also, if it’s longer than a tiktok I can’t be bothered. The trailer is usually enough anyway…
