I'd be almost embarrassed to go watch them. The worst part is that I used to watch them because there was just nothing else to see, until one day I was so bored that I walked out of the theatre. To my surprise, I was even approached and given a refund by the manager without asking... maybe they watched it too and understood the pain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vimdiesel@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago* (1 child) You are equating "big name" with quality. That has almost never been true since movie blockbusters became a thing. Go ask any movie history buff/expert. You are very wrong if you think blockbusters were some kind of artsy tear jerkering, mind bending, raved over by critics products. They've almost always been formulaic. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheActualDevil@sffa.community 3 points 3 years ago But the first blockbuster movie is an arthouse masterpiece that really makes you look deep within yourself and wonder how big a shark could actually be.
