It’s annoying when you ask someone if they’ve seen a film you loved. Only for when you start talking about it, they reveal they just watched a Youtube summary and ruined the whole thing for themselves…
Due to poor sound and visual editing from the last decade
I ain’t gonna disagree on this point.
But I will say not knowing about whatever popular franchise isn’t a crime. And I’m tired of people pretending like they have to “keep up” with everything even if they have no real interest in it.
absolutely not a way for me to keep up with the Joneses. more of a curiously scratching an itch if the movie is even worth making time for. surprise, 99% are not.
Those are two (perfectly valid) reasons for not watching full-length films, but they’re not reasons to watch summaries. Watching the summary is worth it if you enjoy that experience, but even as another soul who barely watches any movies I am kind of curious myself to understand the appeal.
Same with movies.

There are many movies I don’t intend to watch, but then if they are culturally significant I read the plot on Wikipedia.
I just watch summaries for two reasons
if I’m going to read anything it’s going to be a book or a foreign film that’s at least original and edited well.
You scare me.

I eat breakfast and lunch at my desk. while I eat I watch a recap.
I actually have been watching less since most of them have been using AI to narrate and it does a shit job at it.
