@lovely complex I was indeed. My logic was this: "I really like talking about movies with my friends, but I hate that they like shitty movies. I know! I'll be a film studies major so I can tell them why the movies they like are bad on a technical level!"
What this translated to was: "Hey, Fabricant, what did you think of that movie we just saw?" "What was UP with the cinematography? Like that color selection was off, it made everything way too muted, it was terribly lit and why the heck was every conversation a flat shot/reverse shot? Like that's the most boring way to shoot a movie" And then they look at me like I'm speaking Russian and I just go "Yeah I didn't like it"
THANKS, COLLEGE!
