I just rarely watch stuff. And I just never really felt like there was anything about any of those movies that made me feel like I had to see them. Though, to be fair, I don't even know what 3 of those movies are about.

Crash - Racism/racial tension
The Departed - Mobsters
No Country for Old Men - Psycho hitman gets money back
Slumdog Millionaire - Indian game show contestant
The Hurt Locker - Bomb technician in Iraq

You now understand everything about those movies. Saved you a few hours.

I've absorbed so much media in my life I'm jaded as fuck and something needs to be pretty special/spectacular for me really enjoy it.

And idk if it's just me but it feels like media in general is just taking less and less risks and becoming more formulaic which results in very little of it being "special."

Yay, now I can vote in the poll!

when you guys do screeners at usertesting.com, do they load slowly on your computer? like, does it take a few seconds before you can click a choice?

Yes and the bullets I fill in hop around and change places a lot of the time. Sometimes the screen page refreshes in the midst of it.

You mean you don't want to watch the 5th Spiderman reboot in the last 15 years?

 

[HelloHello]

THANK YOU I thought it was just me!

I NEED a solution to this!

I have written to them AT LEAST THREE TIMES about this issue to no avail.

 

[mboone73]

Only two of those are on Netflix.

Which two?

No, I completely agree. I often feel like nothing really jumps out at me as being "must-see" anymore, and the stuff that tries to do something different in any way always ends up bombing in theaters.

Those particular movies in the poll also were coming out during a time in my life where pretty much all I ever did was work, so aside from stuff that I already knew I wanted to see, I just didn't really care about anything else.

Why does thing look like he stepped out of an Iron Maiden album cover?

 

[mboone73]

No Country and Hurt Locker.

It's seemed like a bad time for movies, but not series. Series 3 of True Detective was pretty great (definitely watch series 1 if you haven't), Chernobyl was absolutely terrifying, Mindhunter does a good job of drama and showcasing David Fincher's talent. Then again I haven't kept up with releases like I used to.

 

[Turtlefemm]

I have never seen any of the movies in the poll and don't have any desire to see any of them now.

Insanely long instructions on a hit followed by some comprehension questions. The requester has made it so that those insanely long instructions can't be searched via ctrl+f.
