     @MK2boogaloo It’s fun and all but it’s just another example of how much I dislike ‘movie fans’. We don’t treat fart-sniffing audiophile nerds demanding you sit and listen to an 8-hour jazz record with this same level of respect, why should be when they include an AV component to their artistry?

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @MK2boogaloo I can respect an audiophile sperg more than your typical cinema snob for one reason and one reason alone- at least the audio guys are gearheads of a sort. Your typical AV enthusiast isn't nearly as discerning when it comes to home theater spergery.

     @RupertvonRipp @MK2boogaloo I just so rarely see someone who loves “film” genuinely, to the extent he’d happily indulge in the hobby without any human ever knowing.

     It’s always a part of this gay, urbanite, personal brand, this status-seeking peacocking that they pretend is a totally genuine hobby. Every time I’ve worked, befriended, or indulged a cinephile I’ve come away feeling that their 6-hour movie watching party was a waste of time

     It’s too bad, because good, quality film does give you a lot to chew on and go over, I’m always a fan of dissecting quality, but guys like this eschew things like Heat (1992) in favor of silly, forgettable dross like this.

     “Oh it was amazing” they’ll say about the Cat Wearing Sunglasses (CZ, 1964), because it won a medal at Cannes. They won’t quite enjoy it though, they enjoy watching it because they’re LARPing as a classy, erudite genius

     Makes sense. Knew an audio guy. He took technical courses, spent major hours figuring out a car audio install. Testing different speakers. Tuning. Very hands on, built things from the ground up.
     
     Home theater people are more like someone who walked into a car dealer and handed them a check. Sure, they can cite specifications and all, but connecting an HDMI cable is hardly "enthusiast".
