was leafing through a copy of the rough guide to cult films i picked up in a charity shop earlier today, its like one of those dime a dozen books written by some snarky opinionated film buff reccomending films he likes amd trashing ones he thinks suck with a vague pretence at objectivity amd ngl i think this is how all film discussion should be handled,online film discourse has gotten way too letterboxdified and now the prince charles inema basically only does reruns of the first quarter of the letterboxd top 250 narrative films list.

everyones got way too far up their own asses about this shit, we need to retvrn to the video store spiritually and get a beer, go on tubi and watch some dumb italian bullshit where a load of guys get shot and lose a bathtub of blood each and the title sounds like the name of the average 14 year olds first doom wad

100% agree. Coming up with a word that amounts to "I consoom X artform" is ridiculous. It pushes discussions of the artform away from the people who actually produces the art, whether direct production as in the artists or indirect production in the sense of the workers who make it possible for the artists to even produce the art (for film, this would be the stuntpeople, workers in charge of creating the set, makeup people, catering staff, and so on). Instead, the light is shined upon various bickering gatekeeping consoomers.
