Going to see a movie called the worst person in the world in a couple hours. Never heard of it, never watched a trailer, dont know any of the actors or the director, I think it might be in subtitles?

but it has a 98% on rotten tomatoes and is nominated to two Oscars

I would never have watched "Malignant" if Red Letter Media hadn't done a video about it.

Yeah, but just from a brother who's a big movie junkie. He actually recommended a few movies just yesterday that I've never heard of but I plan to watch:

Hubie Halloween
The Do-Over
The Wrong Missy

going to see a $7 movie with my pals at the local cinema was the highlight of my week as a kid and i was relatively poor, so i could see it. we didn't have any internet at all until eventually we had dialup, so information on shit was nonexistent

i can't really see kids today doing the same though. covid wiped out all of the cheap theaters around here, and it seems like the ones that survived want to also serve you dinner and overpriced snacks for a $30~ experience per person

No. One of my pet peeves are the movie adds that tell nothing about the movie and ae just reviews. Look everyone loves us come watch our movie that you know nothing about.

No, of course not, that sounds stupid. If I hear good things about a movie (or if something sounds interesting), I'm going to look up more details to see if it interests me. And if it involves going to a theater, it's almost always going to be very deliberate.

Granted, that's not to say I haven't sometimes done things on the spur of the moment, but that would have been years ago and under special circumstances.

No, because I don't respect or trust the vast majority of reviewers.

I might be swayed into going to see something if someone I actually like and respect the opinions of says something is great, but I've considered general reviews to be pretty much worthless for most of my life.

Nope, can't say that I have

If it stinks up the place with bad reviews on the other hand and I want to see it, I'll skip the theater and wait for a home release if it hasn't already got a dual release

My friends and I used to raid the campus library for movies like that, and binge them throughout the week.

Was always great, even if the movies sucked

Nope. I very rarely go to see a movie and when I do I've avoided reviews.
