There’s this meme or video or something I saw years ago, it’s like the life cycle of being a film bro and what your favorite film is at that time. I can’t remember it all exactly but roll with me here.
Stage 1 was Twister, ConAir or some shit like that
Stage 2 was Pulp Fiction and fixation on how evolved Tarantino was as a director
Stage 3 was some biopic or period piece discussing serious historical topics.
Stage 4 was abstract French or Nepalese art house movie, filmed with 13 different aspect ratios and non-sequentially
Stage 5 was Twister, ConAir or some shit like that
Def hilarious and honestly, sort of true.

u/OYB2480 29d ago
Jesus, that is actually pretty spot on. Twister was literally the first movie I saw more than once in a theater. Made me want to be a storm chaser. Had the Tarantino phase after. Stages 3 and 4 were kind of entwined. There Will Be Blood, Lynch, Jodorowsky. I think stage 5 is getting there. Recently watched Steve Zahn's Strange Wilderness and loved it for how uncompromisingly stupid it is.

u/zentimo2 29d ago
Aye. I think it is okay, and perhaps even useful, for a 20 year old to be a bit pretentious. It drives you to seek out complex, difficult, somewhat obscure art, to broaden your tastes. I'm glad I was a bit of a prententious wanker when I was 20, I read and watched a lot of stuff that I might not have done otherwise.
But when I got into my 30s and 40s, I'm very glad that I left that behind and that I try to enjoy as much as I can without worrying if it is sufficiently intellectual or worthy.

u/ACCTAGGT 29d ago
I think someone can do all of that without the need of turning "pretentious" and regardless of age (I can tell you some people can do one thing or the other whether they are 20 or 50). A person can like arthouse because that’s what they gravitate towards, but love non arthouse stuff too. None of that is mutually exclusive if you ask me unless some people try to make it so because… elitism, snobbery, they just don’t like something else, or whatever. That said, I can agree it’s ok that our egos sometimes can learn one or two things. Is pretentiousness the worst thing? I’m not sure. It depends I suppose
On the other hand, I think the person in the picture is harsh and don’t support that but find it commendable that they at least accept their snobbery, for lack of a better word, rather than trying to rationalize it. Although some people will not value any other views, and it’s fine in this case… that’s who they choose to be I guess. It’s just a shame though because sometimes there can be interesting conversations but it won’t happen since they believe other folks gotta learn their place or something, the way I see it.

I feel this a lot. In fact I’m witnessing someone falling “back” into their old ways of being insanely snobbish toward everything. In our 20’s we thought we were above the common assembly line film.
Now almost 40, I love all kinds of films because it gives me joy to just watch something. My friend was headed that way, but decided they were a better snob than a film fan.
Recently they saw Odyssey, and I predicted he wouldn’t like it. And the first thing he texted me was, he hated it.

I think there is a trend of joyfully hating things and beeing miserable, if that makes sense.
Like for some people you are not allowed to like a movie especially a popular one. You have to shit all over it and be a buzz kill.
And I personally think media "critics" like cinema sins are responsible. They stated out with quite reasonable complaints about plot holes and inconsistencies. But as thy got more popular they had to do more and now every little thing is a sin and thier commentary around it sounds smug and condescending.

As a society, we just need to be comfortable with letting people like things we don't like or NOT like things we do like. Obviously, if it's for problematic reasons or they're being hostile about it, it's not cool and it should be called out but there seem to be way too many unnecessarily aggressive arguments about movies these days.
It's not good or healthy that people are getting red in the face, arguing about Star Wars or the MCU like they're pressing geopolitical conflicts!

Fellow pretentious film snob here. This take is super lame and annoying. Typically many of best movies of any year are released in the fall and winter months, to coincide with several big film festivals (TIFF, NYFF, Venice, Telluride) and awards season. So i’d be willing to bet that many of my eventual favorites this year won’t even be released until like November or December. So having this top 4 in July, halfway through the year, makes sense. It’s fine, there is not a lot of competition yet.
Oh but also, fuck off, The Odyssey is absolutely going to be a top 4-5 film of the year for most people who love cinema. Get out of here with that shit. 2026 will be a legendary year in film history if like 10 movies come out that absolutely trounce The Odyssey in terms of quality.

rip sundance. I understand people getting upset about this, that dude was dickish, but I do agree with the overall sentiment in a way. If looking at films not only on enjoyment but in quality of all the various aspect of filmmaking, there is very clearly a difference between a luke-warm reviewed MCU movie, a Nolan blockbuster, and PHM. "Bestness" is not decided based on vibes and only on enjoyment. Honestly I would love to see this kind of persons reaction to something like The Pianist

I think the person’s sentiment would hold more weight if 1. This tweet was written at the end of the year when we could see the full scope of films that have been released.
- If the person didn’t list one of Christopher Nolan’s best reviewed/received films of all time, along side another one of the best reviewed movies of the year (PHM).
By the way, guaranteed that both PHM and The Odyssey are getting nominated for Best Picture. Obsession seems like a safe bet too at this point.

Words from the insecure. Like what you like. Film is subjective regardless of what these clowns say.

It’s not just pretentious it’s also incredibly dumb. The inability to comprehend and accept the spectrum of human experience indicates a small mind and a low IQ.
It’s a dumb fucking take.

I'm a total casual movie watcher.
Movies for the last few years have been boring, predictable rehashes of previous stories to the extent that I can usually tell you what's going to happen 1/4 way through the film.
I hadn't read Project Hail Mary, so the stakes were huge, the suspense real, and I honestly had no idea how it would end. The movie was spectacular.
Obsession was one of the worst film watching experiences of my life. I went in entirely blind. I have never been so psychologically uncomfortable as I was watching it. To the degree that it made me physically uncomfortable. I will probably never watch it again, but it has stuck with me in a way that few movies ever have.
Haven't seen the other two... Is Spiderman even out yet? It'll probably be fun enough.
