Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Yeah, I can't watch any of them any more it ruins the nostalgia and reminds me how dumb I must have been. I can't stand to watch most mainstream stuff any more though. The second the plot goes stupid I turn anything off. I've wasted far too much time due to investment banker produced media. First hint is all I need.

I totally get what you mean. I wonder wheter writing a decent plot/characters/dialogues is really that impossible or whether there's some other issues at play.

I mean, book authors routinely manage to do pretty good writing, why can't we have that for film as well?

Try watching movies/shows from around the world, you'll be amazed. I gave up on USA shows some time ago and never looked back.

That is true. The issue is only that it's mostly hard to find these movies. It's much harder finding movies from my own country than US movies.
