> It’s such a shame, Imo, that more people don’t watch slow paced, low key, “art movies” or even somewhat mainstream, character driven movies...movies about real life, and real people... movies don’t have to be all about plot, and fast paced action with non stop “thrills” every other minute or everything spelled out for the audience in a predictable, obvious way... what a shame that what’s popular is often such garbage in terms of quality... 🤦‍♂️... Pauline Kael an essay about that years ago titled “Why are movies so bad? The numbers.”... I suppose that’s true of much popular entertainment, not just movies...
