Critical thinking isn’t my thing
??????????

Alright..... I will say this.
The first time I see a movie. I am just trynna see the story for what it is and if is action, I’m trying to enjoy it for what they are trying to accomplish.
Now on future watches depending on the type of movie..... I then try to look for other shyt but my first watch I ain’t trying to be taking out of the moment missing “exposition” or etc looking at every poster in the background of a 30 second scene. That’s where I find the ones that do kinda miss so much or some of the most basic simplistic shyt that was blantently explained in movie. I cant even count how many times @hex had to constantly correct or comment on someone asking something silly and he wonders “did they even watch the movie.”
I think that’s where replay and home viewing for me comes into play where I can pause and find them “eureka” moments.
Usual Suspects is a prime example, my first watch..... I just wanted to watch the movie and embrace the story.
Later on future watches that’s when I had the opportunity to take my time and “look at the cup on the table, the posters in the office, the cadence in the way people talk, the twitch in someone’s eyes and etc”
I guess it is personal preference, I’ll concede that I don’t go out to pay $15+ whatever to go to a strange place with my peoples or strangers to sit in a mildly uncomfortable chair to over analyze and harshly critique on the first viewing.
I’m not surprised at people who do and I never seriously knock anyone who does. There is nothing wrong with that as there is nothing wrong with going by the K.I.S.S. process either
Preciate this discussion, I have a better understanding of your viewpoint and I hope you have a better one of mine kind sir

Makes sense. I can’t do it that way but I get why people do. Only when I know I’m supposed to shut it off do I shut it off
