Lower your standards guys it's just a movie
Um, howabout not? Why should i have to lower my standards & accept subpar material? This attitude is what allows crap to proliferate. If i keep my standards high, maybe i won't enjoy as many things out there, but maybe, just maybe, having high standards helps push people to greatness. It may not happen all the time, but i think it's worth it for the rare occasion when it does.
I mean, would you tell an engineer, when he's having difficulty designing a new airplane because it's challenging, "eh, just lower your standards, it only carries 15 people". Or, if comparing engineers to filmmakers is too far of a stretch, what about, say, Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. Do you know what he had to go through to paint that ceiling? What would we have today if someone told him, "hey, it's just a ceiling, just lower your standards."? Man i hate that attitude & it seems so common these days.
