I don’t believe Carrell in dramatic roles. Even before I ever saw The Office - I just don’t buy him in that context.

For me, the problem isn't Carrell, it's the weird desire for Hollywood to romanticize addiction.

I think enough time has gone by for me to comfortably put Drinking Buddies in my top 10. :luv:

Is this a real thing? Outside of people talking about watching movies during childhood, I have literally never heard anyone express this before.

It's a comment on/overreaction to Twitter/Social Media/Rotten Tomatoes culture and nothing more.

It's not that hard to tell a good movie from a bad movie, but I don't think most people care that much. I might listen to an interview with an actress on Fresh Air or dive deep into a review if I really like a movie, but that's about it. Even going to a terrible movie is a fun experience aside from sticker shock at the ticket booth and the concession stand.

Going to the movie theater is expensive.

Is it possible that you're buying used cars instead of seeing movies?

i mean sometimes it can be fun or acceptable to watch a bad or subpar movie, but to say you don't really differentiate between good and bad ones is a bit bizarre to me

I enjoy stories. I enjoy being told them by others.

I dont think i've ever hated a movie i've watched. Ever. I at least find some enjoyment even if its the worst thing I've ever laid eyes on.
