Or maybe people just watch the kind of movies they connect with the most. I don't go around and bash Tarantino constantly, but I'm not really a fan. I've seen most of them, at least.

Don't divide movies up in pretentious/not pretentious. There's a lot of really good drama films and a lot of really good genre films. Doesn't have to be either/or.

A friend of mine who is mostly a gamer and not really that into movies has a version of that opinion. He'll talk about movies as if there's only the sort he knows (Star Wars, X-Men, Terminator, Ghostbusters) and then pretentious indie art house movies with slow moving shots and violin music, accompanied by some read-aloud French poetry or whatever. He basically doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

He doesn't really care enough about movies, so I just give it a pass and stop arguing with him.

I don't necessarily mean you or people who just like what they like.

LSATSB and Snatch are as fun as movies can get.



100% agree. Simply tries too ****ing hard to be cool.

It's just not really my thing. Can't think of a single movie in that vein I liked all that much. Boondock Saints is probably the closest, but still... Eh.

But still, do you really think that people pretend to like arty movies to seem smart? I guess some do, but I've never met a person that I'd have suspected of it.

Akai

You answered that one for me.

I'm all about convenience.

Case closed.

BS is cool, but again, it just tries too hard to be Tarantino.

I enjoy dumb action and violence.
I also think Tarantino is at times pretty entertaining.
I just feel the need to jump in when people think his movies are artful masterpieces and he is the best director ever and stuff.
