Because sadly, some movies are made to sell coffee, and not
to be watched and enjoyed.

And some movie "types" spend more time drinking
Latte than eating popcorn(I don't mean this literally,
of course).

Some movies aren't meant to be watched, they are meant to
be discussed, which is bullshit because if the movie
is really good, than it will be both watched and discussed.

Trying to outsmart an audience is the lamest shit in the
world. Make a motherfucking movie that your audience can
watch and enjoy. If its good, we'll talk about it forever.

For example, 'Goodfellas', in my personal top 10 ever,
is a joy to watch, and can be talked about forever.

Hell, same with the original 'Star Wars'.

Both are smarter movies than 'Eyes Wide Shut'. Way smarter.
Waaay smarter. And neither needed all sorts of bullshit
hidden-agenda shit to make it good. Surely, both films CAN
BE DISSECTED after the fact. But they don't NEED TO BE
in order to be watched and enjoyed.

I think the place even me and you part ways on this issue is
in my feelings for Tarantino, who imo, is the one MOST guilty
of this bullshit, which is why I think his entire career is
a farce. I think 'Pulp Fiction' didn't make a grain of sense,
not until you have 300 conversations about the briefcase.

But that's neither here nor there.

We agree on this one, and on the central point, so
its all good.
