Still weird to me that 3/5 is accepted as bad. It's middle of the score; it's average. I have plenty of 3 star movies I watched and I like it just fine.
But yes mostly nowadays I just watch with the right cat's eyes lol
Some films are made for turning your brain off and some films are made for turning it on. The important thing is whether the filmmaker succeded in what they were aiming to do.
I can’t stand movie critics who judge a film based on what they think a movie should be doing, instead of what it’s trying to do.
For example, a dumb action/superhero movie should be exciting, fast paced, and have some humor thrown in. Anything else is a bonus. Evaluate it on that basis. Don’t give it half a star because it’s not Citizen Kane.
This is what it is like when I watch Christopher Nolan movies since Tenet. I know some people really like how he tries to be deep now, but I miss when he made the Batman movies and Inception. They weren't winning Oscars, but they were fun.
so i saw this band a couple weeks ago. i wish i had a better recording, because their cover of john lee hooker's boom boom was mind blowing. it was one of those shows where the frisson was electric in the air. if that wasn't the best show of their life i want to be there to hear it, and i'll go to every one of their shows i can so i get the opportunity to, they are fun to sing along with.
were they breaking new ground? nah, they're a cover band. but they're fun. like i use at least a cane when i go out. i wanted to dance all three sets they were up for. it was at a seafood restaurant in Morro Bay, CA (i don't know the name of the restaurant. Tagliazzi's? I just kind of was walking down the wharf with my wife and followed my nose until i saw a band and a smoker. like, BBQ smoker) and we snagged a table before they ran out. If you were there, uh, two thursdays ago i was the dude with the cat hat. but the point is they were fun. and like, that fun led to connection via music, and it was a great experience. the kind of experience that as musicians, only happens like, five or six times or once or twice a lifetime, depending on how good and how lucky you are. i'm forty years into being a music dude and at... two or three? depending on whether we count this one. and in the crowd you get to experience it even less, and i got to experience it in the crowd with these dudes.

Kinda mid bruh ngl roughly translates to "waste of my precious life".
Its either 10/10 perfection or fuck off.

And it lines up with the expectations of the viewer.
Most of the things i have watched always felt wow, good movie only some were woahh.

Inception won 4 Oscars and The Dark Knight has won 2.
I watched Tenet and after a few days of reflection I was like "yep, I understand the whole thing"
Covid was a weird time
Inner kid VS outer adult.
"The man in me is thrilled, but the kid in me is suicidal over what a fat bastard I'll become!"
Pfft, I have both of them, and they have cuddle parties
Maybe if you get the first one right, the second one is the product.
Worst. Movie. Ever!! Three out of five.
