Do you ever start watching a movie and around 20 min into it,

>>80676618
I turn it off and start over from the beginning if I try to re-watch it. No point forcing yourself if you aren't feeling it. It's supposed to be an enjoyable experience.

>>80676618
I don't have a problem turning a movie off if I don't like it, but if I'm going to discuss it anywhere or form a meaningful opinion I have to give it a fair shot and watch the whole thing.

I always think it might get better but most of the time it doesn't, and I end up wasting 2 hours on a shitty movie.

Why would it be autism?

Autism is to think you know what the film will be in just 20 minutes.
Also you don’t have a valid opinion on anything unless you experienced it in it's entirety, positive or negative.

This is all presuming you have already developed a certain taste and knowledge of films where you already know that the film you are about to watch isn't some atrocious generic C grade romantic comedy or something like that where you know the whole structure before it even begins.

I can relate. It's just a thick skin and determination to tough it out so you can truthfully state, "I saw that." Or, a major jones for really really bad movies.

Yeah this is something I forgot to mention. I like trashing movies but I don't wanna do it if I didn't watch in its entirety.

You ever gotten a haircut and about halfway through you think it looks like shit? They cut one side shorter than the other or don't cut it short enough or whatever? How many times have you gotten up mid-haircut and said "this is shit I'm done"?
Of course you fucking don't because you always hope it gets better. Maybe the barber can fix the mistakes or maybe it's just part of the process and it will be good in the end. People aren't nihilists by nature and we don't like to give up something that can still be turned around.

This is an interesting thought.

same t b h. i especially used to do it for "critically acclaimed" films. but pic related opened my eyes to how gullible and pretentious critics are

>>80677207
This is a shitty analogy because leaving mid haircut would leave you with the most atrocious haircut you could have, it will actually lool better in the end than mid haircut, just not what you expected it to look like.

Nah, like books, there are always other movies to watch so why waste the time on it if you're not enjoying it. Perhaps at a later stage you can go back and reevaluate it from a different perspective, but in the here and now, dump that bitch.

I always have hope that a film can be salvaged in the third act, that the director can gather up the loose ends and create something great even if the first 2 acts are shit. Call it foolish optimism but i have the same faith in the nice asian woman at great clips

>>80676618
No, 20 mins is usually my cut off point. Early warning signs are a sure sign of shit. One time I watched everything to completion. Fuck that.

>>80676883
I just remind myself that you have to sit through shitty movies from time to time to better appreciate the good ones. Just practice your critical thinking during that time by thinking about small changes that would have made it better, or try to find at least 1 redeeming aspect.

Tarkovsky made the opening sequences of Stalker deliberately slow and without color to keep of massive plebeians like you from experiencing the rest of that true kino.

>why him
movies like this doesnt count. you know what you are in for when you decide to watch a movie like that

>>80677805
So are you saying his movies are bad? Because that anon didn't say he stopped watching slow movies, he said he stopped watching movies he thought were bad.

>>80678199
so you're basically admitting you couldn't watch a single second of it.

I watched Scorpion King 3 and turned that shit off ten minutes in.

That movie sucked.

you dont need to watch every single movie that comes out. if you know it is a piece of shit cashgrab normie shit and you start watching it you shouldnt bitch about it. you knew exactly what you were getting into and it is that simple. its like eating mcdonalds and bitching about how its not gourmet food
