That's why I watch video essays that are longer than the actual movie and explain why it's bad instead of watching the movie

Did u have fun is one part of good. So is did it make u think deeply about something, was it pretty, was the dialogue good, did it give u a new perspective, did it make u feel something. Etc etc

I'm the exact opposite. I struggle to get through 90% of movies regardless of how good people think they are, especially since they only keep getting longer and longer.

Hell, the only movies I can get through are the ones that are so bad they're actually interesting

Huh. 90% of the time I'm like "this is a bad movie"

Somebody needs to introduce Thomas here to MST3K. There is no better teacher than experience.

I did a Final Destination marathon recently to prep for Bloodlines.
While all the movies have their flaws and weaknesses, FD4 was garbage. Even as a easy to please person I couldn't handle it.

Genuinely terrible, I am shocked they wanted it to be the last one in the franchise, to the point they called it "The Final Destination"

Imo most movies are kind of bad and I usually regret watching them.

But I kinda feel like this is because I can easily think of other things I would have had more fun spending that time on. So it's a tangible loss to me.

FWIW I keep watching movies because I have seen a few that makes the pursuit worth it.
