every time one of those movies comes out that’s like. a good movie for people who don’t watch good movies. think knives out, think saltburn, think once upon a time in hollywood. you know what i mean. anyway every time one of these movies comes out and we all have to sit here and watch like. young fandom people get their grubby disgusting little hands on that movie and turn it over and over and they thirst over the hot male lead and they ship things and they write fanfiction all while insisting the whole time that it’s like. the savior of cinema. and we are all like ok are you 17 years old have you ever seen an actual good movie before?? and then they get mad at us for that because they’re actually 18-20 and watched one indie film five months ago starring some dude they want to fuck, so of course they know all about Real Cinema. and there’s nothing to be done we just have to sit here and ride it out. this is the circle of life i’m starting to think.

#ok i think everyone is allowed to be introduced to the concept of good movies at age 18 without judgement #but the way some of these people do it. well i’m too old for this. (i’m 22)#like ok i was really annoying about dead poets society when i was 18 and that’s embarrassing now and i’m in no place to judge #but. i mean i didn’t want to fuck robert sean leonard. i didn’t act like there were no other good movies ever except this one #i don’t want to talk about what i did instead but i didn’t act like That ok.#and really i think it all stems from the same place all fandom stems from but for the specific community of young people that want to feel #like they’re consuming media that’s like. tasteful and artsy as opposed to commercial
