REDDIT WAY OF WATCHING FILMS

REDDIT WAY OF WATCHING FILMS
>"plot"
>caring about plotholes, inconsistencies, logic in the film
>thinking that twists are important
>thinking that when a film does not conform to the standard editing, directing, acting, formula that it is "bad"
>categorizing what you see on screen, like this was all a dream, this really happened, it was purgatory all along

PATRICIAN WAY OF WATCHING FILM
>accepting what's happening on screen just as what it is
>the images and the emotion they evoke is the most important part
>going with the flow

the tendency to compare Sup Forums and reddit is the most reddit thing of all

Patrician

>reads IMDB trivias about movie while watching movie
>sees a cool scene, pauses, then goes to IMDB message boards (RIP) to see if anyone else is talking about it
>sees cool scene immediately makes Sup Forums thread about it >KINO
>sees qt.patootie from movie, pause, google images, "[ACTRESS NAME] NUDE"
>has 40 mins left from movie
>shut pc off because its 2 or 4 am in the morning and tired af
>repeat cycle tomorrow

You can see right in his eyes theres a complete disconnect with everything...he always has the same expression in every pic i seen of him.
irl i meet a faggot just like him when i was i kid, i assume he has killed someone by now.

A true patrician can learn everything he needs to about a film from the poster and wikipedia page. Watching films is for brainlets.

I actually agree funnily enough. My motto is

>you enjoy the film
>it was a good movie to you
>you didn't enjoy it
>it wasn't a good film to you

I'm tired of this "objectively these are the best films around"

This picture made me laugh so hard, thank you.

>Dr. Chad, I'm Elliot
>you don't get to bring girls
What did he mean?

Patrician:

>Sees a cute actress in film
>Pull out phone and search for "[actress name] feet"
>Click on Wikifeet and look at the first few pics
>If her feet are sexual, then you like her character
>If not, you hope she gets killed off/loses/goes away

take note you plebs

this is the only correct way to watch films in the spirit of Sup Forums, nobody else should even try

The nude one is so spot on

This is correct. I remember when I first looked up Kate Beckinsale on wikifeet

If you're a sole boy google "celebrity feet in the post dot com"

This. I remember when I used to adhere to what the general public dictated as the objectively best films. Always felt conflicted.

OP is written like bait, but I agree. "This movie has a plothole, therefore it's bad" has always seemed an extremely stupid argument to me.

I agree with you, but it's alright if plotholes bother you. If there are plotholes in the movie then it's the writer's fault for breaking your submersion. But it is kinda plebby to go all autist about them. A lot of "redditors" will start just pointing out things that are convenient for the characters in movies. Things workin out or being convenient for the characters aren't usually flaws.

This.

If you judge bvs or man of steel by either of these standards they still stuck

I'd love to service Kate's soles. I bet her soles are really demanding, too

>has 40 mins left from movie
>shut pc off because its 2 or 4 am in the morning and tired af

Everytime.

>Tfw u look up a feet and that feet is sexier than your gf's feet.

HOW TO SPOT A PLEB 101

>only able to discuss literal plot points and the logical order of the narrative of a film
>every film has a singular universal "deep meaning" which you have to "get" to understand it
>"The writing is the most important filmmaking element!"
>thinks that empty pretty pictures means "good cinematography"
>"I don't find this part of the narrative plausible or realistic, therefore the movie is SHIT!"
>treating a film like a puzzle which you have to put together in a certain kind of way to get it
>a film is either utter dogshit or a masterpiece, there is no inbetween
>"Who cares about editing, framing and composition sound and whatnot if the story isn't great."
>considers heavy use of direct symbolism as a positive factor
>using "boring" and "nothing happens" as arguments ever

It depends on the movie. If a movie is built around plot and twists and those fail, then it's a shitty movie. There isn't a right formula to appreciate a movie, because movies can be very different.

>being tired at 2am

This is actually a good post. The last point is especially true. They end up arguing that there was no plot, even there clearly was a plot.

i guess i'm a pleb

REDDIT GOLD!

This image is so beyond amusing... something about it makes me feel good.

This is exactly why they get Lynched EVERY TIME

hits home senpai

Can you name a single movie that normies actually DO understand? Protip: I don't think you can.

Have you ever tried watching a movie with a normie? I don't know if it's hormonal or something, but their minds are literally unable to focus on anything.

Have you ever known a normie that had a deep and varied appreciation for any art? Digging around obscure music genres or old filmographies, just for the sake of it and love of the medium, not for potential social status and superficial validation?

When a cinephile watches a movie, he reflects on the themes and subtext, deconstruct the mise en scène and cinematography in order to analyze how the director's choices affect the mood and characters arcs, question the ethos it proposes about its subject matters, judge its authenticity, come up with a list of intertextual references that deepen his understanding, examine the narrative structure as if he were in the writer's head to get his creative process and where he's headed, all this while sensorially appreciating the aesthetics, marveling at the layers in dialogues and noticing many odd details, pondering how this film overall fits into its auteur's oeuvre, observing what it does similarly and what it does differently... as well as its place in film history, among many other active ways of studying and appreciating art... meanwhile normies can barely follow the plot.

...

>he can still get turned by nude women and hasn't been ravaged by more than a decade of despicable fetish pornography that he needs at the very least unsimulated bestiality rape to even get a semi
Psshh

Damn. I was expecting hostile responses. Nice to see someone agrees. I'm tired of watching movies and liking movies for the sake of liking them.

>watch movie
>immediately make thread about it
>immediately watch every popular review about it

that's because both users aren't mutually exclusive

dude ironic reddit versus Sup Forums mentality lmao

dude ironic footfag lust lmao

but that's mostly true for garbage boards like this and Sup Forums and Sup Forums, the rest of the site it isn't that big of a thing. you're just literally being confronted with the majority of the redditors on Sup Forums by being on this board.

so basically Red Letter Media?

Plot twist: everyone else ignored your post because you and that other guy are major league pleberinos
Objectivity is an objective fact

>Forcing yourself to enjoy movies because some film school ""graduate"" tells you it's good

For real though, the "dude plotholes lmao" nitpick style of review that reddit and normies love drives me up a wall.

>OP pic
Was Elliott Rodger initiated?

dude dude lmao lmao

Keep believing that's different from
>Convincing yourself everyone else is only pretending to enjoy it for social cred, it's not that I've been pleb filtered, I'm actually smarter than them!

>Strawmanning this hard
Something doesn't become enjoyable just because it's well made

He has to explain where Baby Driver gets his sunglasses. This is reddit tier "I need to know what was not shown despite it not being important" pandering

hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/baby-driver-edgar-wright-baby-got-all-sunglasses-1019291

It does if you aren't a pleb

Damn I'm not even that guy but you are a fucking retard. I bet your the guy that tends to like every single movie in those pictures people post of the "best movies of all time".

Script heavy means are the definitive way of making films for idiots. They are 100% incapable of understanding any idea that isn't explicitly explained to them. Plebeians are heavily frustrated by lack of explanataion; abstraction and absurdity is notably bane to them. The pleb notices special effects more than rhythm, color palette, and the visually contoured patterns of a scene.

>fun
>kino
>comfy
>comfykino
>this movie is ___ as fuck
>nothing happens

>t. film student

Just the enjoy the movie retard

Elliot Rodger

>pause, google images, "[ACTRESS NAME] NUDE"
All caps is essential

Footlove is inherently honest and moral. It can't be ironic.

And people fall into those traps because filmmakers play into them.
Chris Nolan has to make his "puzzle" films because of his autistic brother's scripts. Tarantino drops those epic references for "film buffs". The clueless make films for morons.
