start doing this
>>222299698I already knew the plot to better call saul since I had it spoiled numerous times before this yearI mostly regret watching it all the way through
I just watch those channels that summarise the movie in 10 minutes and I watch them at 4x speed.
>>222299698Autistic niggas on reddit LOOOOVE telling everyone how they live their stupid lives. Somehow its more contrarian than this place but they mean it sincerely
>>222299698>touching wikipediayeah nah
>>222299791My nigger same. I have actually sold spec scripts I dreamed up while drunk and was listening to horror recap channels before bed.
>>222299698>look up thread>expect it to be downvoted/deleted and every comment dunking on OP>3k+ votes but comments think it's a shitpost or respect OP for posting an actual unpopular and wrong opinion on the sub for once
>>222299698I just watch tvrecaps or movies recapped on youtube. I watched the strain this way and was so glad I didn't waste my time with that piece of shit show.
vis a vis
>>222299698that's stupid as shitif a movie seems not worth watching, why would you look up the summary? just move on with your lifethere's a huge problem on this board that people think you need to have an opinion on every single thing. you don't. you can just not have a take on the mcu or the Odyssey and it's fine
These are he kind of people who drink Huel.
>>222299698>look up trailer/clips>then watch explanation in Hindi Easy.
>>222299822I like it for random historical articles. Did you know that the guy who reintroduced the abacus to Europe and popularized Arabic numerals was elected as Pope Sylvester II?
>>222299698Was going to criticise this post but his example is the perfect example of why he's right
I still haven't watched Joker because I know the whole movie
"You gotta watch this but it only gets good in the second season bro".I have stopped wasting my time on bad shows. Lost and Game of Thrones ruined my ability to enjoy new shit. I would rather wait years to see if a show ends well before dumping hours of my life into it.
Reddit
>>222299698Wouldn't it be easier to ignore the mid movies that he's talking about? I've never seen any of the fast and furious movies and I don't give enough of a shit about them to read a wikipedia article summarizing the plots.
>>222299698This is a good thing to do for popular movies that are obviously dogshit like Obsession
>>222299947I haven't watched Joker because it's my life
>>222299993Filtered lol the plot isnt the film
>>222299993All horror movies deserve only a recap. Truly the worst genre
>>222299993>>222300031>watching horror for the plot
There is a point there, because you don't need to consume every piece of media to know about it. I haven't read Moby Dick, but I know the general idea of the story enough to even understand whenever it's referenced in other media. One day I hope to read it though.But the Reddit crowd are obsessed with knowledge, not out of the passion for knowing, but rather a consumerist obsession with hoarding pieces of info or data because they think it will make them smarter. This just optimizes their consumption, so it doesn't go against their goal of knowing stuff.
>>222299998So close
>>222300100>watching horrorFTFY
>>222299698>start doing thisI do in most cases, I check premise, if it sounds ok even more so i flick through the trailer rather than watch the trailer, if it looks watchable I might check the plot on wiki before I decide to watch it.i am not wasting 2 hours of my life watching some shitty CGI fest B movie.
>>222299698I would add flicking through the screenshots on imdb to get an idea of the cinematography, setting, and character style
>>222299822>>222299923wiki is an ok source for general information, nothing more.
>>222300111I dont read fiction, yet I know the whole premise and major plot points of dune up to god emperor, mainly because of flicking through the stories on the dune fandom page
>>222299698I do this with TV-series where I've lost interest in the show, but i'm still invested in the characters.
>A lot of movies don’t need to be watched. Not even the trailer.Fixed it for you.
>>222299698I've been doing this for like ten years
>>222300460This and true
>>222299912You didn't need to reply. Modern culture is largely based around media, and understanding culture is important for navigating it. I'm not going to watch Obsession but every single woman I date sure did, so I'd better read a basic summary.
>>222299791I jist ask the AI to sumerize the video for me, then I ask my friend to read it, then set it to 2x speedMy reviews on letterbox depend on how entusiastic my friends sound reading it100+ movies and counting
>>222299698>can't accurately pick apart a movie from a handful of still images posted on /tv/ngmi
>>222299698why even do that?just ignore it
>>222299698Indians unironically loves doing this because it makes them look more "productive"
>>222301132
>>222299912It might seem contrarian has been adopted as a personality lately, but, it helps to remember that nearly every post on here is basically a psyop for sowing discord and infighting. Russia is the main perp pushing culture war type shit. It was proven years ago, and it was in the Epstein files how Israel was involved with setting up /pol/ years ago. I'm sure China and probably the US government is somehow involved as well. The indians and other turdworlders have show up, but they're basically just annoying opportunistic ants trying to get at the crumbs. No one remembers all those fake twitter accounts that were exposed earlier this year showing the pakis and jeets lying for internet money.Shit, look at the other reply you got, it's just something about how you didn't need to reply. No other substance, just a fight. Keep you engaged, angry. Once you realize that an overwhelming majority of posts are only created by bad actors, it discourages you from even trying to participate.Honestly, it's for the best. The internet has been co-opted by bad people, and it's really not worth our time anymore to even be on these places anymore. How can we have genuine discussions about film or TV when there's 12 concurrent threads about one particular movie, and they're just thinly veiled attempts at talking shit about trans people? Or black people? Or gay people? Or millennials? Or zoomers? Or woke? Or chuds? Or Reddit? Religion? Being too opinionated, or having no opinion.The internet sucks now, and 4chan is one of the most compromised places. The sooner we just leave, the better.
>>222301380That Schafrillas guy, or whatever the fuck his name is, is the biggest faggot on Earth. His voice alone irritates the hell out of me and hismopinions are out-of-this-world retarded
>>222302127>No other substanceYou stopped reading
>>222299791I just rub my balls
so many people treat life like a leaderboard, this homo thinks knowing about a movie puts him higher on on a social leaderboardfucking humiliating and pathetic
>>222302457
>>222299698This is my rule and it hasn't led me astray once:Any movie that /tv/ is shitting on - I will avoid all trailers and discussion and watch it with full attention. Not even a browser open.Any movie that /tv/ is praising - I'll watch the trailer (in 1.5x speed), skim the Wikipedia, and then I'll Google search "movie name explained Reddit", and I'll enjoy about 5 threads about it. It always turns out that /tv/ has inverted tastes, and reading Redditors correct the record makes me smirk when I think back to the shilling you all do here endlessly.
>>222299698>There's no reason to watch a movie except for cinematography, performances, soundtrack, atmosphere, and dialogueI don't think any movie where NONE of those things are good would be worth watching in the first place, no matter how good the plot looks on paper.
>>222299698If a movie isn't worth watch then why would it be worth reading about on wikipedia?
You know what? That's fine, but then people shouldn't get mad about media literacy or tourists. You reap what you sow.>>222302727What happens if it's an obscure movie or both reddit and /tv/ share the same opinion?
>>222302566You're so much better than him
>>222302790Recap videos are better than Wikipedia because recap videos actually have the footage truncated to the best parts and reading requires some effort on your part. If you are going to be lazy, do it properly.
>>222299698He's so dangerously close to an epiphany about how Netflix produces slop that is not worth watching. He also thinks movies are just stories, and he is beyond retarded. Most movies can only tell simple stories and it's more about the performance, atmosphere, cinematography and the experience. A good film elevates you to an alien world that you escape to.His conclusion really should be "Modern netflix is slop that is not worth watching" but he can't escape the matrix yet.
>>222299899for exempli gratia
>>222299698The example given is "I just know" instead of "I used this technique then watched the full film and confirmed that I got nothing more out of it."
>>222299698Only you can decide how precious your time is
>>222299698I did this with some things, mainly some superhero stuff or horror movies, the latter because I don't like seeing innocent people suffer or bad guys getting away, which happens in most horror stories. Sometimes I like to also make sure the movie won't have an ending that pisses me off.
>>222300250No, it's not, they censor completely uncontroversial shit too and any changes you make gets changed right back
>>222302946Thanks, didnt have a cinegrid for The Swimmer yet.
>>222303548this is on my "must watch" list for ages
>>222299698This has to have been written by a woman.
>>222299698I hate this person, individually
>>222303484That is why i said general information. you would be stupid to look for any actual scientific, academic or correct information from that place, it is literally propaganda.So far as well if you find a page that has the ability to edit it has been removed, you should instantly know you are about to read propaganda.
>>222299698This but pitch meeting
>>222302872hasn't happened yet. /tv/ is always wrong. Reddit has a diverse enough set of posters (and an upvote system) so that the most correct opinions float to the top. /tv/ is just an endless string of "bad is good, good is bad".
>>222303484>>222300250>>222299822Wikipedia is a great source for anything that's not political. For political topics, feminists infiltrated it a long time ago.
>>222299698>4chan /tv/ webms + spoilers + slurs postsNOW this is how you do it
>>222299963Who cares if a show gets bad if the earlier parts are enjoyable? That's like saying if a show has a single bad episode then the whole season is ruined. Here's what I do... this might be revolutionary but it works for me. If I am no longer enjoying a show, I quit watching it.
>>222299698I marathoned the Wikipedia page
>>222302946The Swimmer is so fucking good
>>222301380kek

>>22230294699% of films are shit. Netflix didn't invent lazy movies.
isn't this a whit stillman reference? "metropolitan", i think. where the pseud talks about not needing to read books, only literary criticism
>>222307161Yeah he argues with the chick about Jane Austen's Mansfield Park because he only reads criticism. But critique isn't plot summary so this person isn't doing a bit based on that.
>>222299998I haven’t been living my life since I watched Joker. Joker convinced me my life was like Jokers. That was bad enough because I got paranoid. But then I saw Joker 2. Now I live in a constant state of panic over an impending rape.
>>222299698Sturgeon's Law. Many movies, songs, etc. are not worth watching or listening to.

>>222299698This is a really good example of high functioning autism.
>>222299698He's right. 99% of the movies within the same genre have basically the same plot.
>>222307669Why do you spend your time here if you truly believe this? Just to shitpost?
>>222302925>footage truncated to the best partsAccording to whichever autistic faggot whose dogshit youtube review you’re lapping up like a dog, sure. You’re saying you’d defend a movie review if Chris-chan made it and edited it for the best parts.
>>222302127Yeah, you're not as smart as you think you are.>Epstein files>Is obviously just regurgitating what other people told him and never even read the original email that started the rumor Do goyim really?
>>222299698i mean honestly for half the shit movies i've watched that would've sufficed..
>>222307935NTA but you sound like a glowie.
I prefer movies that aren't that popular. Ones everyone is talking about these days are easy to just find out from the trailer or by accident if looking it up. I don't mean unpopular movies but ones that are pretty good, but not rarely talked about. Not cult classics, not blockbusters, not B movies, movies that fly under the radar. They're somewhere between right under blockbusters and above indie films. Somewhere in the mid budget range.
>>222307994For not believing obvious bullshit? Surprised you didn't call me Ivan on top of that. You'd have to be pretty raped to think this is one of "the most compromised" places on the internet and still post here.
>>222308154Are you just triggered because Epstein was mentioned?
>>222308255>triggeredI didn't write paragraphs crying about muh culture war unprompted though. You sure you're NTA?
>>222299698>t. someone without friends or knowledge of torrents
>>222302946Conceptslop and paddingslop has retards thinking Plur1bus and Severance are amazing shows. I could bring up Sopranos, Six Feet Under, and Breaking Bad as pre-netflix examples, but jannies would probably ban me on general blasphemy principles.
>>222309695Maybe you get banned because you're clearly not 18 yet
>>222309770Every time some faggot posts this I think about my back, my left knee, the growing white in my beard, and my ever growing intolerance for ultra hot sauces that I didn't have 10 years ago.I'm older than you are, but I'll still probably outlive you.
>>222302874I am. Btw little tip, sarcastically repeating a statement doesn't actually invalidate it. I know you and all the other smug little faggots love this because it's the only rhetorical device you have, but it's a terrible one.

>>222299698I do this for "movies too disturbing to watch" like Salò and Melancholie der Engel.
>>222299698This is literally how I have been interacting with /tv/ threads for years and years. I haven't been to the movies since 2019 and just read Wikipedia summaries and make up parts of the movie that I lie about to get people to argue with me over for no reason in every modern release that catches my attention. I'm not joking btw.
>>222310961I just watch the right wing review that tells me why the movie is not worth watching (3 hours video essay on average)
>>222307875Yeah dumb dumb, that's the point, this is a recap thread.
The top three unpopular opinions of all time, what do we think
Somewhat related but I've taken numerous vacations using my Oculus and the memories are basically 99% the same as my actual vacations. It's genuinely like the memory implants in Total Recall
>>222299757nigger better call saul hits every single one of those exceptions in the op post
>>222304032So why post on /tv/ at all if you objectively think reddit is better? Cause you can get away with saying slurs here but not there?
>>222311623the bottom one is definitely wrong and if anyone did this with me I would look at them with disgust then remember it for the rest of my life and bring it up at every possible opportunity
>>222299963Yeah, I stopped watching Better Call Saul after the first two episodes took up two hours of my life while giving me nothing in return. I'm convinced that people only say that they like that show as a joke.
>>222302946I love this movie.

>>222299998Goddamn you're gonna go the rest of your life knowing you were 1 post off from making history
>>222299698I wonder if this stems from people being subscribed to streaming services and thus feeling the need to get their money's worth. Otherwise I don't see why the point needs to be made. Most shows and movies are just a means to kill time.
>>222299881>respect OP for posting an actual unpopular and wrong opinion on the sub for onceYeah because 99% of the posts on that subreddit are the most lukewarm takes ever
>>222299698Fuck this shit. And fuck all the zoomers who claim to watch and listen to content at 3X speed. What the fuck happened??These are people who do not read books. And they think this behavior is BETTER, or somehow more efficient. Why the fuck would you care about movies and also want to experience them in this way??I have started skipping trailers altogether because they ruin too much. Fucking kids and their weak attention spans.
>>222299923Did you know that ANYONE can edit it and therefore Wikipedia is all "woke lies"? Go on Twitter if you want to know the REAL truth.
>>222299698>literal readddit postingthis should be banned. and woke lefty wikipedia.

>>222299822one of the few normal sites still in existence, not obsessed with views, ads or ragebaiting you. its just a boring old site where you can read stuff and you can even look at the sources should you want to verify the information presented
>>222299698People nowadays prefer to be spoiledThey'll read the entire plot on Wikipedia before going to see anything They say it makes the film better when you know what's coming
>>222299698If I don't care enough about a movie to watch it, then why should I care enough to read the plot summary?
>>222299698This is less of a commentary on the r*dditor and more about the decline of film as a medium as a whole
I'm not being ironic or exaggerating, people like this should literally be killed.
>>222315418apparently some anons are so uninteresting that if they are left out of the normalfag conversations surrounding [currently popular thing] they basically get ostracized because they have nothing else to talk about with other people
>>222299698quicker method is just watch a reaction video on youtube, pick your favourite BLACK reactors and just watch with them as they sequel and laugh and make noise throughout the film
>>222299698This is why we get so many awful knee jerk takes on so many topics nowadays.
>>222315392This absolutely. I will get lost reading it for hours just jumping from link to link and then doubling back. I also have proudly edited over 400 articles in the last 18 or so years. Any time I see a little mistake or something obvious missing I add it or change it. It all started when The Onion did a thing about how Weird Al's page was strangely devoid of major details of his life. Which then spurred people to make it a really thorough page. That may have been the first time I'd heard of it. I also donate money to them every month. Aside from probably two or three unfortunate politically motivated things probably about genders and shit, you can almost always trust the content. Usually the experts of their fields are the ones doing a lot of the contributing and the community polices itself pretty well.Of course the schizos will claim it's entirely corrupted by "leftists" or something. But those same pieces of shit will also be the first to link to "early life", for sad, bigoted reasons.I fucking hate most of the people who populate 4chan now, whether they're just trolling or sincere. But as they say, 'you're here forever'. pic related is another funny one.
>>222299698If some r*ddit using fag wants to "enjoy" movies that way, they can be my guest.
>>222299698I already do thisBefore watching a movie I just read the plot on wiki first. If it still seems interesting even after I know what happens then I'll watch it.I don't want to waste 2 hours on something I might not enjoy just for the le suspense.
>>222308255You lost, Moshe. Go suck a baby dick and calm down.
>>222299698This is unironically correct. But it begs the question what's the point of even doing that if those movies are so bland, uninteresting, formulaic, poorly performed, terribly shot etc. that there's no value to watching the actual audio-visual experience of it?Why not just... not? You can basically write off 95% of movies from the title, tagline and cast alone. People should be spending their time consuming art, not sloptertainment.
>>222316096Not to mention that they're dumbing down movies (even more than they were) by requiring writers to write blank-face dialogue to explain the plot, so dumbass zoomers doomscrolling Tiktok and Instagram can understand it.
>>222316096People want to be fans without investing the time to actually consume the media.
Retardation is at an all time high it seems, people can't even sit through a fucking movie. The easiest, most passive thing in the world. Awesome. I can't wait to talk about a movie with one these people and have them not understand anything that happened
i start watching a movie. if it gets about 20-30 min and doesnt grip me i drop it.thats all there is to it
>>222316184See also: literally every capeshit / chris nolan / seinfeld thread.
>>222299698What a weird bugman attitude. I've never understood these people that like to just read or watch a synposis rather than the movie. Movies are holistic, it's not just about the plot or the acting or whatever, it's how every element comes together alongside score and pacing and, fucking everything. You do not get the "same experience" watching a trailer or synopsis, and if you do, it must be an absolute piece of shit of a movie that was never worth watching, and if the movie wasn't worth watching, why would the synopsis be?>>222299791>>222299870Genuinely baffling, I don't understand what you get out of it.
