What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Oh, wow. Old comment.

The easiest route to learning about movies, is to watch a lot of movies, and reading about the movie you've just watched. Wikipedia, a more in depth review, interviews with people who made the movie (not just the actors).

Google a top 100 list. Work your way through a few of them. Eg.

They also have cool features. For example, Michael Mann's made a load of really cool action movies. Here's a feature on his movies they made:

Or here's famous critic Mark Kermode's top 10 of horror movies:

Yes, he has a PhD and is a member of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, the UK equivalent of the Academy of Motion Pictures. No, he's not a snob. Texas Chainsaw Massacre's in the top 10. So are some older classics, which are still good.

But if you want to read something, you could try:

Bordwell and Thompson. Film Art: An Introduction.

David A. Cook. A History of Narrative Cinema

Hyperreality,

TNG basically had Riker fuck an alien trans woman in 1992.

Any trekkie who complains about Trek being too woke, is either a moron, or not an actual fan.

Hyperreality,

Or season that 30 year old episode of TNG where Riker has a relationship with an alien who's trans.

Hyperreality,

While that is funny, I do find it annoying when supposedly reputable news organisations act like they'll ever sell these in significant quantities, and that this is anything other than a marketing campaign.
