i can watch brainless movies - to a point ...
it still has to engage me in some way.
everyone draws a line in the sand somewhere .. you set your own level of acceptable competancy in a film.
this is actually a discussion that is starting to bug me in here.
a lot of people have said 'i just turn my brain off' ...
if that was true you could watch any pathetic piece of shit and enjoy it but the very same people will hate another movie because it was stupid.
lets just say 'sure it's dumb but there was something i liked about it' and stand up for that instead of making excuses that potentially wont be appropriate for every dumb movie you see.
there are movies i've liked that are mindless action and violence ... they still have to have something good about them. the violence has to be well done .. or so bad its fun to watch.... same rule applies to the quality of the acting.
but if it's poorly made, uninteresting action, bad writing ... no amount of 'turning my brain off' will allow me to watch some films.
