    are the movies shit? do you take into account that every movie stands on the shoulder of all the films before it and so rehashes the same shit usually the same way? can you appreciate that the good filmmakers raise the bar on what is acceptable and that a lot of the slop coming out can’t pass it?

    I’ve given up on giving a chance to substandard crap. oh it picks up in the 2nd halp or third season or whatever - get fucked. how can pluribus grab me in the first five minutes? how can hell or high water do the same?

      I believe its not so much about the quality of the movie. Shitty stuff often manages to catch our attentions. The kind of media we consume shapes the hooks that get our attention. If my habits are different from yours, what hooks my attention might not hook yours, and vice versa.
