Why is it that if someone doesn't care to see a particular film, doesn't like the latest movies, or doesn't like what Hollywood is putting out these days is considered dumb, prude, or not with it?
No, the problem is when someone condemns a movie he knows nothing about. I almost never go to the movies. I do rent 20 or so videos per year. But I don't rant about movies I've never seen. If you don't care about movies, that's fine. But then don't set up a soapbox to scream about movies you haven't seen.
It seems to me that people that are obsessed with movies (especially in the NYC area) and funding Hollywood really don't have much of a life outside of film.
They love to live in fantasy land. I mean, seeing a film once in a while is good but some people go way overboard. Films and TV are so overrated.
There's more to life than sitting at home and waiting for the latest NetFlix package to arrive.
Your last three paragraphs are beside the point.
I did not rant. All I said to the original poster was AMEN and then I was called a "movie hater".
