One of the most oft repeated phrases at me as a media teacher is ‘what do you mean you’ve never seen (insert name of movie here)?!’ which is often then followed up by ‘How are you a media teacher??’ Funnily enough there was no required viewing list before being allowed in the classroom but it’s an interesting idea, nonetheless.
Love everything about this post.
For some reason film people have a sense of elitism. "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FIGHT CLUB!? WTF!?"
I really like watching movies and I'm trying to do it more often with no interruptions (phone) or external stimuli. Just old school: me and a movie.
PS: What's your Letterboxd? I would love to follow you.
Totally! I guess that's how the whole film bro thing came about. Me too Mike, I think I have to just commit like a movie a week or something.
It's nstam :)
I also haven’t seen blade runner and star wars bores me!! Maybe I’m just a snob who doesn’t want to like well known and well loved movies 🤷♀️
Ha! Snob is not a word I would use to describe you Sunday.
I think we just come to these things in our own time, or not.
