God film snobs that are not even real film snobs are the absolute worst. Do I need to list more films for you? I didn't because I didn't expect a smartass response. Ok, going off the current 2023 Oscar film lineup, The Fablemans made 30 million and Tar made 15 million. Which, to be fair surprised me. People are going to the movies to see good movies. Learn to be less judgmental.

​

Btw, can you even name a thousand films? Never mind thousands*.* And again, I listed three examples btw. Everything Everywhere All At Once, Banshees of Inisherin, and Top Gun Maverick. Unless you want to not count Top Gun because it's an action film. In which case you're an absolute pretentious try-hard. Which I think you are anyway.

​

I'm not some anomaly. There are other movie goers like myself. I try to go see every Marvel movie that comes out, no matter how bland and cookie cutter they may be. They're often fun and colorful with some fun action pieces. I also pay monthly for the Criterion streaming service. I regularly watch classic films and I also like to turn off my brain and watch dumb Adam Sandler comedies. I'm not so pretentious that I act like watching a dumb film somehow ruins my palate.

​

Given how harshly you're judging people who go to the movies and assuming every one of them is a brainless dullard just makes me think you must not have very many friends. I'd think maybe you'd be jealous of the folks going to the theater to see Cocaine Bear because they're going with other people.
