on movies

despite enjoying movies, it is rare that i go to a movie theater to see one. instead, i tend to binge watch movies on tv and dvd for a week straight about twice a year. personally, i do not think i have bad taste in films, but a majority of my good friends refuse to see movies based on past recommendations. a few examples perhaps? vulgar, ghost world, punch drunk love, barfly, and l'iceberg. sure, these films are not everyone's cup of tea, but the worst movies they have ever seen in their lives? i find that hard to believe. and yet, when i do come across something great, they just say, "remember ?!?"

granted, i have seen a lot of bad movies, and i do mean a lot. usually when i use netflix, i try to find the worst sounding movies to watch, because, sometimes they surprise you. i think it has to do with the time dedication. a movie takes roughly two hours to watch, and if you think it is terrible, it can seem to drag on forever. i guess i just have a lot of patience for entertainment. i especially enjoy slow burn (ones with build up) and murder mysteries, which i understand not everyone enjoys. still, it would be nice to hear a critique about a movie instead of "worst film ever".
