  Ahh yes, Memento and Mulholland Drive are insulting and total shit because they’re American lol.

  I get what you’re trying to say but conflating every American movie with what succeeds at the box office is probably keeping you from experiencing and enjoying a wide assortment of amazing movies.

    okay, 1 in 25 movies isn’t total shit. You just mentioned two from decades ago.

      Are you really expecting me to list every good American movie in the past 30 years instead of just engaging in an actual conversation or maybe taking a step back to challenge your opinion internally so you can enjoy life a little bit more?

      It’s 2023, sea lioning isn’t cool, my dude.

        What? I don’t like fucking movies. That’s it. Doesn’t mean I’m “sea lioning” or a “neckbeard”. If you like movies, great, I’m extremely happy for you. If it makes you feel super happy about yourself to say insulting things to strangers online, you may have some psychological problem and good luck with that.

    I didn’t think I was, but thanks!

    Also I didn’t notice this was a film sub, so no wonder people don’t agree with me. That’s nice. You have your interests and opinions, and I’ll have mine.
