Simulacrum
nothing ever happens: people that don’t have the time for/have little interesting artistic insight have always leaned on criticism to form their opinions for them. most critics are and have always been hacks.
everything must get worse: every critic has to do personality cult Content Creation now because all the papers went under. then they have these brands, so even if some art breaks expecatations and moulds they’ve cultivated, they’re obliged to lie and serve an audience what they want. see the “Fallout show is WOKE bullshit” storm based on the trailer vs. “Fallout show antiwoke masterpiece” that ran through the CHUD sloposphere
nobody hates Star Wars like its fans
I only get my opinion on movies for babies from a gen-x’er in a suit who drinks expensive liquor.
what if i get my opinions from four or five midwestern gen-xers who drink craft beer (and one of them drinks soft drinks)
It’s not even expensive! It’s Black Label! It’s firmly mid-tier price wise. Blue Label is the expensive one.
it is Blue Label though
Damn okay I guess I’m just colorblind. You are right.
nah it’s pretty dark hey
the black background doesn’t help
I read the youtube comment more as saying they stopped watching star wars movies specifically and now only check in with it via youtubers shit-talking it
There’s definitely an increasing phenomenon where people are watching filtered experiences of all of life in various ways to a disturbing degree though. Let’s plays, Pornography, Cinema Sins-style movie “criticism”, Instagram vacation influencers, newsletters/debunker articles, etc.
This seems like a completely baseless and hyperbolic take gleaned from a single screenshot of a YouTube comment. While I’m sure there are people who only watch critical takes on things (I’ve done it before myself), it’s a crazy extrapolation to say that “movie fans have regressed to this”. Maybe some people are kind of attached to a given franchise but don’t like the current direction, so they keep tabs on it but don’t watch themselves right now. Maybe others don’t watch critics at all. This just feels like fishing for doom where none exists. /rant
lemmy today, redditor yesterday.
luckily star wars isnt art, and the “”“culture”“” its a part of is that of amerikkka, which isnt a real culture, just an endless deluge of slop
Really glad i quit giving a shit about starwars
This is me, but I legitimately can’t sit still through most movies. I’ve seen a total of 2 or 3 movies this year, (a record for me,) so sometimes watching a Youtube video half the size is more to my taste.
same. most movies are just not stimulating enough for me.
I’ll say it again: Le Whiskey is almost as bad to have as a personality as Le Beard or Le Bacon.
i try to have no personality whatsoever
What if they imbibe it though?
