Kenning posted:It's appropriate and informative to stay up-to-date on cultural phenomena even if one doesn't particularly enjoy consuming them. I feel like experiencing a visual medium through some guy summarizing it on Wikipedia doesn't make you that up-to-date on it. It's like reading about a song instead of just listening to it, though to be fair most songs are under 90 minutes. Full disclosure: I haven't watched a Saw film since 2005, despite being generally into horror films, but I know the gist of their story just through osmosis: Old man make sometimes ironic traps, old man die of cancer, gets replaced by apprentice(s?), apprentice makes more evil traps. Puppet ride bike. Cop has dead wife. Timeline makes no sense. Maybe I should read about them on Wikipedia to make sure but all of that is fairly incidental to the actual content of the film which is the traps and the stupid 2000s music video visuals.

The John Bois video tells a fun little story that I, a non-american who therefore has no idea how the sport works, was able to follow easily. It also includes a lot of extra context; I had no idea who Randy Johnson is or why that was relevant, and the Wikipedia link does not mention that this was Koo's second time at bat in over a decade of professional baseball or that his first time at bat was three strikes no swing 5 days earlier. Clearly he experienced an incredibly intense SPORTS TRAINING MONTAGE in those 5 days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjO9xeXmuTY

Reading a clinical, matter-of-fact description of the plot of Midsommar lets me enjoy it without The Ick. Often I see a preview for a movie that looks somewhat interesting but I 100% know that I am never going to make the effort to see, so I just look it up and read a synopsis so my brain can file away 'that's what the monster/murderer is'. I also don't particularly like gore or jump-scare stuff so I'm even less motivated to see those films, but get vaguely curious about them. My mom reads the last few pages of a book before starting it so she can confirm that it's not going to end in a way she doesn't like before she gets invested, so clearly I come from a cursed bloodline.

The way I understood the post that first mentioned this the idea was that some person would read the plot synopsis for a movie they were about to see, which struck me as super weird. Reading about movies you know you'll never get around to seeing is understandable - I do it a lot because I have small kids and not much free time.

Count me as another one who's interested in horror movies conceptually but a huge baby about gore and helpless people dying graphically. They often have fun concepts to theorise and talk about, with intricate plots, creative setups and cool monsters, but especially 90s/00s horror can get too meanspirited to be an easy watch for sensitive people. I did get around to watching Nope eventually.BallerBallerDillz posted:You love to see it Excellent work, 47.

My wife has really bad ADHD and will read the synopsis for a movie before she watches it so she can follow along when her attention wanes. I wouldn't do it myself but for that it makes a lot of sense, it's easier to follow if you know what's going on after all. But what kind of psychopath substitutes the wiki plot entry for the whole experience, is joy so foreign

I did get around to watching Nope eventually. I get it. I know it's fake, but my brain kind of sits there saying "um geez that guy is getting dismembered, that's not good!" Body horror stuff in particular leaves big fat wounds in my mind that take like a week or two to go away. It's inconvenient for someone who's otherwise really into scifi...

I sometimes read a Wikipedia plot synopsis on a movie before watching it and spoilers never really bother me because I'm a dumbass. I'm careful not to spoil poo poo for others, of course. I love gory movies because it's always so over the top and loving cartoonish but when there's gore/extreme violence out of nowhere, it always kinda fucks me up, like the elevator scene in Drive and some movie someone told me about that I watched a clip of involving a very violent beating with a fire extinguisher that comes out of nowhere. That stuff is always way more impactful because everything else is grounded in reality compared to someone's entire skin getting ripped off in that Silent Hill movie or some dumb contraption in a Saw movie. There is nothing wrong with being put off by gory movies though, no matter how comical it seems to some of us. Stuff affects us all differently.

I read the wikis for movies that sound interesting but I'm not sure if I wanna waste 2 hours of my time trying to watch. If the wiki makes it seem like it'll be good, I'll give it a shot. 90% of the time though it's just "wonder what weird new poo poo jigsaw came up with".

I can watch the most goriest horror movie no problem but depictions of slavery, really brutal racism or animal cruelty are too much for ol TW. Dead Alive or Terrifier? No issue. 12 Years a Slave? gently caress that, absolutely loving not. The “no animal abuse” depictions do indeed encompass the horror films that actually straight up show actual animals being harmed. poo poo like Re-Animator is totally fine as it’s clearly fake. Still want to see Wake in Fright but I’ve been warned
