As you've grown older...
 

Do you find yourself becoming more or less picky about the movies you watch?

I've definately become less snooty. There are very few movies I can't enjoy on at least some level. It almost has to be Catwoman bad for me to say a movie sucks anymore. There are still a lot of disappointments, but very few anymore I find myself despising.

Thoughts?

And I'm the opposite, Flayed. I've become way more picky than I used to be. There's been many movies discussed here that everyone loved that I just hated.

Still wuite young so I buy any old shite I see.

I'm with hammerfan. i am VERY picky these days. Especially since i am trying to get into screenwriting myself, i am snooty as hell. i would like to make GOOD movies and it pisses meoff to see the shit that gets made because someone saw a profit in it.

I am also more picky. Especially with horror flicks because they just don't make em like they used to. Very few new ones have been worth even seeing for me. Even less worth buying. And there are so many movies that are practically the same as 5 other movies, it's just the same crap over and over.

Sorry, I've never been picky about my movies. Well, I mean, I only watch HORROR, but as far as which ones, I'm not. I mostly flip a coin to see which one I'm watching next.

Oh yeah, I definitely get pickier! The older I get the less time I have to do the stuff I want to do, my time is valuable to me and I only spend it on stuff I love or need to do.

LOL, for example as much as I love the horror flicks, my husband likes stupid comedies! I CANNOT waste my time on a stupid movie, like for instance (and I don't mean to offend anyone) he wants to go see Jackass II! I would rather stay home and clean out the garage then go to that!

LOL, see I am picky. Again sorry I did not mean to offend anyone.

I dont think you will offend anyone. For the most part, if someone has a postcount higher than 200, they are pretty thick skinned.


I know exactl;y what you are saying. we have a baby, i have a 3 hour daily commute, and we have been workingon our house for 4 months now (not to mention i write for planethalflife, my own site AND i am trying to get awriting carreer off the ground, and eventually a small business). Time is about my most precious commodity, and i dont want to weste a second on "entertainment" that doesnt have me enthralled for the whole time. So far, we have had a good track record. Except for Aeon Flux....

What a fucking waste of time that was....

i'm about as old as it get in here - and i'm infinately more picky the older i get.

the older you get supposedly the more movies you've seen ..
the more movies you've seen the more the cream rises to the top.
you become increasingly more aware of repetition, unorigionality, your tastes can become more refined as things you thought were funny as a kid arent funny anymore (thank god that hasn't happened to me)

you basically become jaded.

yes, ignorance IS bliss.

That's because you are Canadian. Being in America has an amazing way of dragging your innocence out into the street, hate criming it then smothering it in PC spooge and running it over with Terror Alerts.

No wonder we're all so stressed.
