Not sure if memes are allowed here. Apologies if they aren't.

I'll try to be generous to your meme but it's hard. I'll say I used to be like that, part of the majority who thought going to a movie meant it needed to have action, a superhero, or magic. It gets tiring and repetitive though.

A recent example was train dreams. Me 10 years ago would have called it a snore fest. Now? I have much more respect for movies and it ripped me up inside. So this meme is very subjective on the individual

    For me, there's 3 reasons to watch movies. 1 is to kill time because I'm bored while being too tired to do anything that requires real attention. That's mostly been replaced by YouTube. The second is because I want to experience a good piece of art. And the third is for a fun experience.

    If I'm going to a theater, it's gonna he for a big, splash film with gorgeous visuals. I ain't paying 15-20 dollars a person for a slow, contemplative film I could enjoy at home.

    At the same time, when I'm by myself at home, I'm not really into the flashy stuff, because fun is something to share with friends and family. So that's when I watch the deeper stuff.

    Same, if I'm spending my time I need more than the predictable super hero plot, I want something with character and heart. It's hard to find but it is out there.

    For theaters there are smaller indie ones that do play big titles. Search out your local area to find what may be around you. Those are the ones worth giving your money to. I just won't go to AMC or Cinemark anymore on my own because of how low quality it is
