in a way there’s this really essentialist culture like if a movie ain’t a masterpiece then it’s not worthwhile and that’s so reductive and terrible re: appreciating all the minutiae of art
sometimes a movie is whatever but a performance is wonderful. sometimes the performances are whatever but the story is important. sometimes the story is lacking but the direction is effective, brings something new to the table
you gotta watch movies and see all their different moving parts and be able to appreciate when certain parts are great, are sometimes fucking amazing, even if the whole isn’t something to take home
this all or nothing bullshit is worthless when it comes to movies, when it comes to any kind of art. sometimes a movie is less than the sum of its parts so you have to look to the parts to see something worth your time
so many of my favorite movies aren’t my favorite movies because they’re masterpieces that stop my breath they’re my favorite movies because of a moment, because of one element of the movie, because i saw the movie at the right time in my life, because a part of it planted a thought in me that i couldn’t shake

This is horrifying and gross, because the list includes:
Cranberry sauce and pie filling. (Poor people can forget about making dessert for Thanksgiving dinner.)
Creamed vegetables
Baked beans
Pickles
Pork and beans
Frozen veggies that come in packages featuring pasta, nuts, rice, cheese, or meats
French fries and hash browns
Sharp cheddar cheese, Swiss, and fresh mozzarella, shredded and sliced cheeses (except American cheese of course), cheese food, spreads, and products. Even Kosher cheese is banned unless you apply to get a specific check for it which basically could identify who the poor Jewish people are.(This is really gross and skeevy because of how this is isolating Jewish people and outing them.)
Canned peas and green beans
Albacore tuna, red salmon, and fish fillets
Bagels, pita bread, English muffins
White rice and wild rice
Taco shells
Almond, rice, goat, and soy milk.
Brown eggs and any eggs produced by cage-free or free range chickens, which basically helps corporate chicken farms
Chinese scientists have created the world’s lightest material.
Graphene aerogel that is seven times lighter than air. It is so light that one cubic inch can be balanced on a blade of grass, the stamen of a flower, or the fluffy seed head of a dandelion. (Source & More Information)
