@mandibossard: Not every movie should be judged on a Citizen Kane scale. It should be judged on a “weeeeee!” scale. #horror #primate #creaturefeature #moviereview #horrortok

My letterbox bio is literally just “‘good’ and ‘enjoyable’ are different things”

I’v always said that it’s okay to watch movies that are just fun and not that deep. It’s like eating junk food as long as it’s not the only media you consume it’s good to just turn your brain off a bit. I had fun with primate and thats all I asked for.

Whether or not a movie is successful at what it’s trying to be is the most important metric to judge it by.

This video reminded me EXACTLY why I followed you; earnest intellectual analysis of art from a framework of joy and wonder as a deliberate hard-won choice, it’s incredibly refreshing

It is easier to complain about what a movie isn’t than it is to discuss what a movie is. And I think a lot of people lead with negativity because that’s the whole point ”controversy first” edict of content creation. It’s not my fave, for sure.

I think people also got defensive post covid. There were people who let theories run wild and then got really disappointed when none of what they convinced themselves would happen came true. WandaVision was a big example of this. It got delayed so people theorized more and more and then kept doing so week to week and were soooo mad and disappointed when they were wrong. I think experiences like that have made people less willing to theorize or be hopeful for a surprise.

Yes! Not every movie needs to be a critically acclaimed cinematic masterpiece! If I walk away from the movie feeling like I’ve gotten my moneys worth and time well spent, it was a good movie.

I always want reviewers to include a little caveat of whether or not they even like the genre of movie they're reviewing. 😃

"by what metric are we judging" is definitely going into how I try to explain my recommendations to people.

The best medicine I got on not being a constant critic was a series of short road trips with a fun and happy college friend who kept falling into critical analysis of the favorite music and movies of every person on the rides with us. It was just like watching in third person how much people would be displeased and having less fun if I let my brain go rampant with its analytical energy. From there it was “liking things is more fun than not liking things” as my default motto unless something was actually causing harm.

I just want you to know that you said “thunder shirt of negativity” and I was like, oooh, good analogy. Doesn’t matter if you lost the thread of it a bit later. You did good work with that.
