What movies are you watching?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

the celebrity effect has nothing to do with their on-screen performances, it's a you problem

What's stuffed down the goose's throat is corn mash. Foie gras is the result of that process

[BurtReynolds]

Seems like I don't see much of actors these days outside of the movies. The problem with Chalamet is that he's in every movie, and he hasn't impressed me much.

It's an us problem. I can't escape them unless I'm completely lights out on the internet. They are omnipresent; I'm the goose stuffed full of the algorithm's foie gras. Makes it really hard to get excited for movies when I already know too much about the actors' personal lives, political opinions, etc.

For me, it actually enhances a great performance if an actor is able to transform into a character, because I know so much about who they are IRL. And if they're always basically playing themselves in a role, or put in poor performances, it makes no difference who they are IRL because I'm not interested enough in them to begin with. Just stop reading People magazine and try to enjoy good art for what it is.
