I wouldn’t call myself a film buff but I’ve watched thousands of films and shows. My gauge is usually the metascores, with some exceptions. Knowing this, I generally watch films with a metacritic score over 55, and am usually whelmed. It’s also important to understand directors and their previous works, and styles so you know what to expect. I still prefer imdb’s ratings generally.

Why are they even on a podium

Not to take away from this but that pic was him wearing a cosplay from grandmas boy? I believe?

Don’t care much for specifics, things can grow organically, I would like to see YouTube and videos embed though. Please for the love of all that is good
