They're components that work together that don't have the same impact when isolated. Pretty idiotic reason to denounce visual arts but idk what I expected.

I still like a good Western but that's all about the setting for me
I like a good Western too but I always thought that it was a weird genre when compared to how we group other films together. It's not a very sustainable or ambiguous one either.

As if your, mine, or anyone's time is valuable enough to be tarnished by entertaining ourselves.

From 2017: Gerald's Game, Phantom Thread, 3 Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri, A Ghost Story, Logan, Blade Runner 2049.

What's the most recent movie you've seen that you've considered worth four stars?

I loved Slacker when it came out and I’ve been pretty fond of Linklater ever since

Keep in mind I’m the exact demographic for Slacker
