well, good. I've been boycotting american movies (as an american) since the 90s because they are generally insulting total shit.
Ahh yes, Memento and Mulholland Drive are insulting and total shit because they’re American lol.
I get what you’re trying to say but conflating every American movie with what succeeds at the box office is probably keeping you from experiencing and enjoying a wide assortment of amazing movies.
okay, 1 in 25 movies isn't total shit. You just mentioned two from decades ago.
Are you really expecting me to list every good American movie in the past 30 years instead of just engaging in an actual conversation or maybe taking a step back to challenge your opinion internally so you can enjoy life a little bit more?
It’s 2023, sea lioning isn’t cool, my dude. It’s neckbeard behavior and no one wants to talk to neckbeards.
What? I don’t like fucking movies. That’s it. Doesn’t mean I’m “sea lioning” or a “neckbeard”. If you like movies, great, I’m extremely happy for you. If it makes you feel super happy about yourself to say insulting things to strangers online, you may have some psychological problem and good luck with that.
This whole interaction is only happening because you commented with an insult and I suggested you open your mind a bit. Why are you commenting here if you don’t like movies or want to talk about them? I’ve been very civil and don’t know why you think trying to have a conversation is some attack on you.
LA LA land?
You're so COOL
I didn’t think I was, but thanks!
Also I didn’t notice this was a film sub, so no wonder people don’t agree with me. That’s nice. You have your interests and opinions, and I’ll have mine.
