I'm exactly like that, but the other way around. 90 % of the movies I watch I don't enjoy. Mayhap it's just not my medium. Makes the 10 % I did enjoy realy worth it tough.
Depression is one factor, but I also realized that what Hollywood thinks a "relatable" character is is very far from who I am as a person.
Film is a medium that is truly coming to its technical maturity while also being at or near the absolute height of our artistic powers as a civilization. That's why it really sucks that at that same moment, studios are more risk-adverse and money driven than ever.
I didn't want to be a film snob, but I feel like I have to go indie these days to see anything worth my time.
Same thing with video games. I mainly play indie games and if you combined the budget and staff of all of them, it still wouldn't come close to the budget and staff of a AAA game. So much more creativity is allowed thought. A single vision rather then a design by committee.
Oh, hundy p. The closest thing in my library to AAA games are all Larian and From Soft titles from years ago. Indie is where it's at.
Right?!? Another thing is that plot lines are reused a lot. Often movies feel so very shallow and to me.
The most recent movie I likes a lot was "Everything Everywhere All at Once". That felt like something unique to me.
If the movie is not Extremely Good™ (or better), I get extremely irritated and will walk out of the theater or click on something else. Just feels like a huge waste of time
