shouts tantamount to Twitter hot takes, not some weird introduction to philosophical debates on art that you always take them for.

Then again, if I imagine an actual normie, they're well below the critics in terms of taste, so who knows.

If the studios had to rely on cinephiles for business, then the industry would just collapse.
