Most people don't understand film as an artform

Johnny C:
I am about to double post so that I can put in a sincere thought prior to this thread's annihilation.

What irritates me is less that people mistake flashy style for artistic merit as people who steadfastly refuse to pour any thought into any filmgoing experience ever. At all. You know the type; they're the people who say "Don't you ever go to a movie just for fun?"

To build on est's thoughts: I like me some Prozzak and Madonna and Kelly Clarskon and other vapid pop b.s., but I also like some thoughtful music. And frankly, the thoughtful music is usually something that I enjoy far more. It's the same for movies; I can enjoy a "Dumb And Dumber" but I'd still say that I appreciate, say, "The Quiet American" more. You follow?

You could have claimed that post was a clever joke and I don't think anyone would have suspected otherwise.

What the fuck is the matter with you?

Probably that.

EDIT: The real problem is, of course, that I know people who ask that question like it's some goddamn societal sin to put thought into entertainment.

And, can't you see? The thread has been nuked! YOU'RE COVERED IN RADIATION
