It’s not because I’m boring or a stuck up hipster that thinks everything sucks. It’s because over the years my intelligence and consciousness expansion has grown far beyond the bounds of what other people find fascinating. I’ve seen most of the movies that many consider classics. Even though once I found them to be interesting, now they are dull and completely pointless to watch. I’ve searched high and low and it’s seems I can’t find anything that lives up to my standards anymore. Are there any movies out there for people like me?

How old are you? I thought like this until I got a bit older and then I wrapped back around and now can watch something like RoboCop and be blown away by how good and tight it is.

I do sort of have a thing for watching really bad movies just for the fun of it, so maybe I should give this one a try. Thanks.

Gattaca, Starship Troopers, and Fight Club (purely as a movie and not a fanbase) remain really great movies.

Pulp Fiction too, although it has some seriously dead air at times.

The third act of 2001 sucks poo poo straight out of your rear end in a top hat, but the movie as a whole is still genius on like, every level.

Barry Lyndon is amazing 'get toasted and look at pretty pictures' fare.

I really like AI and gently caress you if you whine about it.

Mid-30’s. I’m not really sure what the point is when there are more interesting things to do, unless there are movies out there that are actually somewhat captivating to me.

I’m not depressed, but I am stumped at why I can create something so much more interesting or actually funny without nearly any effort in my own mind instead of going to see an awful movie that costed millions of dollars.

When you're younger, you're wrapped up in establishing your self-image, and so you get caught on ideas like "obviously I'm too smart for a movie about robot cops" and you can't enjoy the movie.

As you get older, you stop giving a poo poo and can just appreciate that robot cops are fun and it's okay to make a movie about them.

Why do they always gently caress up the third act so bad? Countless movies are stunning until then.

Or even worse, the first 2/3 is great, the last 1/8 is great, but between 66% and 87.5% it's just an awkward fumble.

I have a huge problem with the Dude, who was way too passive to be an engaging character. It seems he was shrugging off the role carelessly. It’s funny at times, but it’s like they mixed a bunch of scenes in a blender and poured them out.

The Coens were explicit in interviews that they wanted to make a Raymond Chandler mystery where the protagonist was a clueless slacker who didn't really give a gently caress.

That movie was the goddamn worst. When you're doing a parody you've got two options:

1. Commit to your premise and find the jokes therein. Think 'This is Spinal Tap' or 'Life of Brian' minus the alien detour in the middle.

2. Throw structure out the window and just be really really funny. Think 'Holy Grail.'

'What we do in the Shadows' tried for the latter and failed miserably, because he had everyone improv despite none of them being any good at it.
