is what they like. You see you are at a disadvantage as are most people because most people have seen mostly Hollywood films. These people who are presumably from the backwater world of Russia or France saw all those dreadful art house films and now also see a lot of Hollywood films(which are mostly dreadful as well).The problem is that most people have seen the hollywood film so they can take pot shots at what you like. Most people have not seen what they hold dear because it was a nothing film that most video stores don't carry.
Go see what they like. Some of it is pretty good actually and you may like it. Some of it is FAR worse than most good Hollywood films.
And here is soemthing...if they're so intelligent and Hollywood is so bad for the reasons they list then they are awfully STUPID individuals to keep going to see Hollywood movies aren't they. If every Hollywood movie has stunk for the last 20 years and if you've seen 10 in their opinion Lousy movies in a row from say Spielberg - then WHY would they go and see number 11? Pretty dim witted thing to do...so why would their opinion on film would matter to you?
People need to feel superior...some buy expensive cars, some buy expensive stereos t show off...some try to pretend they're more intelligent. Of course all three groups are self-deluded...the best thing for you to do is to see right through it.
