Yeah, this is where I am. I can't imagine having a single criterion to guide me in selecting a movie. Sometimes it's a recommendation, sometimes it just interests, sometimes it's a total blind watch. It just depends on the situation.
I used to work at a video rental store, and it would floor me that people would only watch what happened to come out that week. They didn't care about anything else in the store; nevermind the huge selection of classics, etc. And, 9 times out of 10, their favorite movie would just be the last one that they saw. Sometimes it could be pretty bad. Like one time, a guy came in and asked me to recommend a movie. At the time,
Pan's Labyrinth had just come out, and I recommended that. He went over and inspected the case, and then came back to the counter.
"Now that movie
Pan's Labyrinth, is that in Spanish?"
I replied, "Well, yes. It's in Spanish with English subtitles."
And then he looked at me, completely bewildered, and said, "You mean they
made it that way?"
I didn't know what to say. And, of course, he ended up renting something else. In English.
